"Aluminum is also durable but the issue is that heat can cause bending"

Where as in magnesium heat causes ignition. It does take quite a bit to start magnesium burning, but once started normal fire extinguishers and even water will NOT put it out. My dad works with magnesium sheets. One day he put a sheet in the sink, lit it and turned the taps on full. The water didn't even slow the fire down.

I wonder how long it will be before the first magnesium laptop "meltdown"!

Derrick, the Portee chassis, like the HP EliteBook range, is made from a magnesium alloy. I suspect your father had pure magnesium, which has rather different properties.

Have a lawn mower made in magnesium, Very light, won't rust, 25 years old. And... even with a burning hot engine on it, no worries about igniting... Nice!

But for christmas, it's hard to choose what to add the christmas gift listing, iPod nano 4th or zen x-fi?
Besides, it can put tv shows on ipod and play ipod on tv, the most important, without apple tv, that's really great, may be I should get iPod.
