Is the outside of this computer metal or plastic?

It's plastic. I've never seen metal laptop case. I don't think that would be too good for the electric components.

Its made out of titanium metal, and the portion where the computer rests is made of a smooth rubberized insert, the feet of this product are attached to the bottom, small rubberized (same material as insert) which grips the surface it rests on.

It is aluminum. I somehow got some few small dings where it exposes it a little and it is clearly aluminum. If you update to Windows 8.1 you are going to need to download the drivers directly from Acer. I had many bugs and getting the new drivers they are fixed.

The top feels like some kind of thin metal yes, but the underside of the laptop is definitely a hard plastic. It is solidly built though.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

The outside is part metal, part plastic, and part glass. The plastic doesn't get hot.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

I'd say high quality plastic, it has a brushed aluminum texture. The right hand corner of the keyboard is really cool with this reinforced metal texture, but to keep it somewhat short, it's plastic.

The frame, lid top and inside (where u put hands to type) are all metal. The bottom (what sits on the table or your lap) is plastic (I hardly ever see it so I had to check.)

It's plastic. It is very durable. I have one that is at least 10 years old and still kicking.

A piece of metal that isn't the computer itself. I clip it to the side panel that I removed from my computer.

It's plastic. I wouldn't recomend this drive. Many many people are having them fail and lose all data.

It's actually not metal, but plastic. It does pick up fingerprints and sweat really quick and easy. Other than that and the software, it's a great mouse.

I believe it is aluminum. if you have large hands, this is a very small keyboard. I no longer have this laptop. Not sure I would recommend it unless they've improved it's overall functionality. I had a lot of issues with the keyboard. The HP Envy 10" is what I have now and what I would recommend investing in.

Metal chassis, but the bits around the screen shown on the picture in black are plastic. If you're worried about road-worthiness I don;t think you'll have a problem.

The case is metal and appea re s to be durable. There are some scratches where the connector meets the computer but the device has held up pretty well on my keychain.

Metal and plastic. I've had mine for long enough time and several jobs for it to break. Still runs like it did when I first got it. I thought it would be disposable after a couple jobs but it seems like it might be around for a while.
