Yes it is, CNC aluminium.

You can do it yourself, but it probably costs more to do after you factor in the price of the parts and tools they require you to use.…

You can't repair the screen yourself and retain full functionality as they have soft-locked it. You need to run AST to get it to work, and…

Otterbox cases are crap. Go with Tech21 that has the FlexShock or something else that has an elastomer lining around the edges.

Agreed. These have a flimsy plastic chassis. Built like an Inspiron except with all bottom cover screws captive. I don't recommend.

Depending on what store you're at, the prices for these burgers may vary.

Oh True, damn.

Cheap build. This won’t last long if you’re a heavy user and actually carry it around. The frame is plastic.

This is only 2 layer gore-tex, not 3 layer.

It's a plastic laptop with sheet aluminium covering the plastic internals. In other words, it's just for show.

I can guarantee you it isn't. More likely all plastic on the inside the 'full aluminium chassis' - this is where everything screws into.…

Don't forget the plastic build quality (it's not good).

Are these fake?

These pens are awesome, ink practically never runs out or goes dry. I have a few of them in different colours.

This is great if your rent is too expensive.

Most likely unless it's CNC aluminium, it won't be full Al -the inside frame will be plastic. This is the failure point as all the…

You can pull cover and remove the cmos battery and the main battery to clear the settings. I agree with you, Thinkpad is more reliable and…

It's easy if you have the right tools and parts. But really if you want something better, you should have spent more for a better model.…

That's incorrect, look for the golden coloured screw mounting locations in the frame underneath, especially where the hinges attach at the…

They do have a big Mg alloy frame under the plastic and the keyboard is top mounted, supported by the Mg plate. Just look up the palmrest…

Only the skin is. All the screw bosses are mounted in a plastic frame under the al frame. The back is mostly held on by plastic clips.

These ‘ThinkPads’ are not durable. The frame is plastic.

These machines are basically ideapads in disguise. All plastic construction and the guts are basically identical. I’d go for a T14/P14s…

You can do a lot of usbc including plugging into a hub and showing your screen, or using a USB drive. It’s very useful

These are basically Ideapads. I would recommend a thinkpad instead.

They should make these batteries hot swappable

Not really. You still need to pay for international calls.

Yes, you can.

It **is** a bargain. It's not a supported international destination on Boost. But it's free from a Telstra payphone.
