The LCD top and the top side of the keyboard mounting area are aluminum. All other areas are plastic. The laptop is about 5 1/2 pounds.

I don't think its metal, its more like a hard plastic. It has a solid feel and the hardware is fair for the price. only downside to this laptop is you can easily see fingerprint marks on the mouse pad, the case, and the screen, but that's expected seeing as how its black.

I have not purchased a case. The shell is aluminum and it is sturdy and doesn't seem to scratch easily. It is light and looks good.

It is not aluminum case, its plastic with "metal coating", so the answer is NO.

Yes it is, similar to MacBook Pro. I believe it is an Aluminum unibody construction with rubber/synthetic bottom.

The top is brushed aluminum and the bottom is white plastic. Looks very nice. It is a great very fast light laptop.

Very light. I frequently carry my laptop around the school building and the rubberized case gives me a better grip on it.

It is 5.3 pounds. The extra weight might include packaging and the charger and all that but the laptop itself is 5.3 pounds.

It weighs about 7.5 pounds however, for the computing power and bright screen it is worth whatever difference between this and other computers. I'm a graduate student working on a PhD and I love mine. Gary Hill, MBS

It is. It's kinda thin though. Neg: I've dropped bag on the "corner" and my laptop got a little damaged. Pos: A friend accidentally kicked the bag (the part that goes on against your back where the laptop goes) and the laptop came out unscathed. I would buy it again though.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's aluminum - it's very lightweight (borderline chintzy).

They keyboard is very light...but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. The computer itself is actually quite heavy by today's standards, but I have an toshiba portege, so I'm spoiled.

Not terribly heavy. Probably weighs as much as my 15" laptop. Hope this helps.
