> Does the Ryzen system come with a full aluminum enclosure?

If you really want one you can get one.

But if you are buying a laptop on the basis of how shiny it is does the CPU performance really matter?

When I bought a car for my wife she picked it out on the basis of how cute it is. She isn't going to run around being upset that it doesn't have 0-60 time of a Subaru WRX. To her the Subaru is ugly.

Have you ever dropped a plastic laptop ? if you think the aluminium enclosure it's just pretty then I don't know what to tell you

I've dropped my MBP. And I dropped my ThinkPads.

There's a reason why I still buy ThinkPads - because aluminum is still heavier than magnesium and carbon fiber... and it isn't indestructible.
