Aluminium is heavy, cold, dents and expensive.

Plastic is better in most ways for a laptop shell.

So by dent I assume you’re meaning drops? How does plastic survive that better? It’ll shatter, leaving the laptop internals on the sidewalk. I’ll take a dented aluminum body over plastic thanks.

Aluminium has the best property. It conducts heat. Plastic laptops are saunas.

Aluminium is also highly recycleable.
