There's something to be said, though, for the standard that Apple have set with the unibody design of the Macbooks .. its a very functional design and can take a beating. I wish more manufacturers would just copy this feature, personally .. the only reason I persist with the Macbook is that its not at all a creaky, plasticy slab .. but rather a more functional, industrial-strength product.
