Titanium?
walk over to my work T530, leaned up against the wall...
What 'cover' on this is made out of titanium? It's all black plastic. I've heard it has a magnesium skeleton...? Maybe you mean the hinges? I guess those could be titanium - they're some kind of metal.
Dude - the whole case on this thing is made out of plastic. I'm scratching the whole thing to find anything on this that's metal at all. What are you talking about?
- noufalibrahim 10y agoI don't know about the modern ones. I've been a thinkpad user since 2005 or so and my impression is that the quality has been dropping consistently. Traditionally though, many of them came with a magnesium alloy roll cage that protected the internals quite well. It considerably reduced flex and made the whole thing quite solid. The X1, it seems, has a carbon fibre roll cage.
