Is the whole laptop's body made of steel?

The name of the color of the laptop is COLD STEEL but it is not made of steel. It is a lightweight aluminium from all I can read on the Acer specifications website. The keypads are plastic. Hope that helps!

No Steel. The enclosure on the screen and top part of the laptop's lower body is made of aluminum. Bottom part of the lower shell is manufactured out of hard, black plastic. They keyboard and all buttons are all plastic as well.

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

No on the first two. The aluminum part is the deck around and below the keyboard. The rest is plastic colored to look like brushed aluminum. It is very sturdy, though and the aluminum deck gives it a very solid feel under your hands. This machine is not *quite* as thin as an ultrabook. It is almost that slim, though. I think the specs say it's 1" thick closed, which is about right. I haven't tried SC2 or D3 on mine, but this Acer runs League of Legends very well, and I have run SC2 on less powerful laptops. I would think you could play both games, but not on max graphics. This computer is definitely a step down from a performance ultrabook, but for the money, it's not a big step down.

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.

When you open the laptop, the Palm Rest and all around the keyboard is Aluminum.

no, I'm not sure what kind of steel it's made of but it is extremely pitted and just about the poorest workmanship I have ever seen. I work as a machinist and I would be embarrassed to say that I made this shavette. the handle is cheap plastic with sharp edges

Yes, it was made from steel. For detail, search Internet on " How induction cooktop works" or subjects like that.

By the way, the keyboard itself whether plastic or metal material is very well made. The travel is low, button press is medium to light, and it feels very natural to type on. It's one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever used.

Yes, there are soft rubberized plastic pads on the parts that actually touch the laptop.

It is exactly like the one that comes with the laptop. I suppose its a really hard plastic.

it's made of steel all the way around very durable. Husband loves it for his line of work which is heavy equipment.

It has a flat finish, unlike the glossy black plastic of the rest of the laptop. It has a finish similar to the underside of the laptop.

The entire outer surface of the laptop is colored silver. I have no idea what the composition of the shell is.

Well, I'm not entirely sure, but when it snapped in half with a very small amount of pressure it looked like carbon steel. Hope that helps.

The whole body is metal, I don't know if its steel, This is a very nice little care for the money and very good quality, I would purchase it again.

The finish is brushed metal. The outside is black and the keyboard face is brushed aluminum. It's nice because you don't get as many smudgy fingerprints, so it looks cleaner. This laptop runs EXTREMELY cool and I am one of those people who is always multi-tasking, running several different programs and having 12+ tabs open on my browser. I can feel a bit of warmth on the left side, but I could work with the laptop on my lap for hours comfortably. My old MSI would be burning my legs after 10 minutes.

It's pretty solid, I can't pull it out without putting in the combination. Not sure how strong the metal is on the laptop though.
