What are your suggestions for notebooks with metal /Aluminium cases?

My MacBook Air won’t live much longer and I wanna get away from apple.. however, a robust case is important to me..

Maybe a ZenBook?

My hp omen did well for me

My HP envy is doing alright.

XPS 13 is pretty schweet too

@Stuxnet I used a XPS13 at my previous job, it's awesome. I'd say it's 'cute'' haha

@phacus I wanted one so badly but my budget would've barely gotten me the lowest spec version, so I had to pass it up.

One day I'll buy one though lol

@Stuxnet I'm from Brazil. The CTO was spending the holidays in the USA. i7, 16GB, 512SSD for $1333. Some kind of Amazon promo.

Damn, that thing was good

Thanks for your suggestions.
So sounds like many of you like the xps13. Will have a closer look at it.

@just8littleBit I have a bulky Inspiron 7520...that thing ws amazing.

I hope you enjoy, if you choose it.

Go for XPS.

I own an xps13 and I've gotta say.. It's freakin' AWESOME!

FTR, it's a HI-end XPS: i7 SKL, 16G RAM, 4k touch display

It's a VERY cool [temperature wise] lappy. Tiny but with decent size screen. A comfy kbd. And I never thought I'd like a touchscreen that much on a laptop :)

Things to consider regd. aluminium case:
- if you bump it it'll stay bent. I've bumped mine at the bottom of the screen. The bend is there to stay forever. Plastic would've cracked tho
- the laptop if very cool and it feels much cooler with aluminium case on your lap. It's sometimes annoying in hot summers
- I think I haven't made a single scratch on the case yet. Have been using it for over 2 years.

If you can afford -- just go for it... Just do it. It's fucking worth the price. If I had to buy another lappy but the one I've already got I'd most certainly get the HI-END XPS 13 latest release (I think it's foldable now! that's the only feature I'm missing). And it plays along with Linux just fine.

@netikras Damn, now I miss using it!

Nice

@phacus I hear Christmas is coming. If you've been good this year maybe you should reward yourself? Considering Black Friday is almost here... :)

@netikras Oh, man... I live in Brazil..it's crazy expensive over here. But I was a good boy, though

Thinkpad?

@wowotek +1 for ThinkPad, they are known for being solid and reliable though its case isn't solid aluminum like macbooks.

Thanks guys, it’s really helpful to me!

Especially @netikras , you convinced me😄

As long as I get an ok deal on either cybermonday or Black Friday, an xps13 it shall be.

Why not just keep your old MacBook around whenever you need the case? It's still the capable cutting surface it always was.

@tokumei i think solid cut aluminium make the looks more nicer, but loses reliability.

xps 13 it is.
Saved 800.- because of cyber Monday week on amazon👍
