The Macbook has flaws, but it's construction is not one of them. The metal body alone puts it leagues ahead of the majority of the PC laptop market, which is cheap plastic crap, all the way through.
Is aluminum the most heat efficient material? No. Is it better than plastic? Holy shit yes, in appearance, in heat dissipation, strength, feel, and durability it's head and shoulders above plastic.
I can't stand working on our fleet PCs anymore at work. Every time you move them, they creak, and squeak, and shift. $6,000 PC's that sound and feel like cheap ass Walmart guff.
At least my $4,200 Macbook Pro FEELS like it's worth that money.
- timw4mail 7y agoI disagree that aluminum is a better case material. Plastic cases can definitely exist and not creak. Rubberized plastic is even better for feel. In terms of heat dissipation, aluminum is a better choice, but there exists plenty of engineering experience in properly cooling laptops in plastic shells.
