I recently asked around wether or not there are any laptops where the whole case is made out of metal, by that I am referring to the "base" (underneath, sides), the workarea (minus the keys, of course), and the top cover. Sort of like the Apple laptops are (I don't want one of those).
Several people told me HP ProBook 450 G2 is all in metal, and at a first glance it appears to be, but after reading a bit further some claim that the only part that is metal is the workarea, and the rest is just grey/silver plastic made to look metallic. Can anyone please confirm which is correct?

Oh, and are there any other laptops at all in all metal under $1000? Suggestions please...

Well to be honest I ignored your budget simply because I want you to see that buying a "premium" laptop / notebook/ ultrabook is expensive. Premium isn't always better but you want one that looks great so I listed a bunch for you to...

The HP your friends might have been thinking of was the ENVY
