    Is ALL the case metal?

    The press release says it has an "all-aluminum case", however some other articles and reviews have said things like "all-aluminum lid and a solid magnesium alloy chassis". To my mind this sounds like some portions of the case could be plastic. Is all the case really made of metal? If not which portions are plastic? I would imagine the keys and trackpad area will be plastic.

    Excerpts from another review:

    "The brushed aluminum and plastic casing is durable and hides fingerprints well."

    "The chassis is solid thanks to a combination of aluminum, plastic, and a magnesium alloy support structure inside."

    Hmmm, sounds like it is well built, but it aint all metal. :|
