Yes. You are wrong. An alloy is made of several metallic and sometimes some non-metallic elements. Aluminum is an element. It's just a metal.So Aluminum is a metal alloy, meaning Apple can stick with their Aluminum unibodies with enhancements from Liquidmetal Technologies. Am I wrong?
You look at the wrong places. Look at Sony Vaio Z (carbon fiber), HP EliteBook or Envy (precision-etched metal alloy case), Dell Studio XPS (magnesium alloy).
Does it make a good antennae that doesn't attenuate when touched by a human being?
lol?
So, Apple finally admits that using aluminum was a stupid idea. Other companies were using alloys for laptop cases for decades, now Apple decided to join them. Better late than never, I guess.
An interesting concept when you think about it:
"Looks Cheap"
Because you associate plastic as a low cost substance, if it looks like it's plastic it must be inferior?
Irrespective of any technical issues?
I think you'll find there isn't a single antennae in existence that doesn't attenuate when touched by a conductive surface.

Was Chuck ever any good though? I dislike when the writers make their protagonist clueless, awkward and rather doltish, and yet in the end, they always succeed against impossible odds. But perhaps the show has improved.

In 10 years, we'll all just buy a single Apple product, the "i" that will be a liquid metal blob. It'll take the shape of an macbook pro, iphone, or ipad, depending on which one you need at the time.
You know, after having a plastic macbook whose casing cracked (and everyone else I know with one of the white ones having cracked casings) because, well, it cracked. It wasn't dropped, it just didn't take everyday stresses well and cracked (always at the edge where the hands rested and every single person I know with a macbook had the same thing. One perosn had his keyboard replaced cause something happened and they new top case cracked as well! I hear they haven't really fixed hte issue in the new macbooks).
Sure, the metal one might dent easier if I drop it. I'll take the one that won't break if I take care of it and try not to do abusive things to it over the one that will crack no matter how well I take care of it even if it takes a drop a little better (and honestly, plastic is more likely to crack/break if you drop it vs. denting like the metal one. Though that is more subjective which you prefer).
So, yeah, I prefer the aluminum over the plastic and I will easily say I think the aluminum casing is superior to plastic.

Strong and light enough to be used for planes, cars and even engines. Stronger than magnesium too 2.75 vs 2.5.
