Actually the Z60 series has 2 main types of construction (ignoring the Ti layer on the cover).

For Z60t
Case Material: Some: black color; hybrid carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material
Some: top cover: silver color; CFRP, aluminum, titanium material; bottom: black, CFRP

For Z60m
Case Material: Some: black color; Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) plastic
Some: top cover: silver color; ABS, aluminum, titanium material; bottom: black, ABS

Inother words, the t model has a carbon fibre hybrid casing like the bottom half of the T4x class and the m is actually the ABS type of casing like the R5x series. Ok-lar, the carbon not as gaya or flashy as ACER's, but then again, thinkpads aren't flashy machines.

The internal chassis (not to be confused with the external casing) of BOTH the Z60m and Z60t is made of magnesium.

officeboy, just get wat netto hikari quoted if ur budget is right, toshiba really improve better than IBM nowadays and Z series IBM quality really really decrease alot, shame with Z series. Titanium cover also no use, keyboard although is water spill off but if u see properly, when u press at centre part it will bend in unlike last time u can stand on it and 99% sure the keyboard prints alphabets will fade off. last time motherboard use to have one layer titanium layer to support drops but now no more. thats y "R" series is heavy. Z is a future turnover for R series. R series technology still applies but not at exterior. im ashamed with Z series. i didnt mean to insult but just shame.
