It's just got to feel like one solid piece of metal, not actually be solid. Like how iPhones give that glass-and-metal-slab vibe, or (to a lesser extent) MacBoo

It's just got to feel like one solid piece of metal, not actually be solid. Like how iPhones give that glass-and-metal-slab vibe, or (to a lesser extent) MacBook Pros before they thinned the body out (back when they could fit an optical drive), not flexing like the newer ones do when you press lightly on them. I want it to feel like something that could sit in an auto garage seeing daily use and still work after 10 years, but not be giant (possible because the mainboard would be tiny and power-sipping). Sturdy in feel and in fact, though not giant and bulky, and with all-day-plus battery life is what I'm looking for, and I'd trade raw computing power for it. A shopworn socket set of a laptop.
