[request] dv9000z pics

Hey,

I'm very anxious about the dv9000t that I'm most likely going to get when HP releases it. Can anyone that has the dv9000z post pictures of it, and let me know your opinion on its looks and feels? I've read various posts, and they generally say it's kinda plasticy (instead of aluminum alloy or whatever else), but looks pretty good. Some people complain about the silver color, not sure why cause I think silver is better than black but whatever.

Thanks

Actually I spoke to one of the "technicians" over the online chat, and they said the case isn't plastic, it's some sort of fibre stuff that is very similar to plastic but better. I can't remember the exact words but it included fibre lol - I had copy and pasted the transcript but (lucky me) our power flashed, and bye-bye computer . So now I'm waiting for them to email the transcript, but it's been a few hours now so it's probably not coming.

Anyway, it's supposedly tougher and smoother than plastic. Although I'm sure the smooth part is just a top layer coating of some sort, but I can't be sure. I also asked him about the color rubbing off, especially by resting palms below the keyboard, and he said I shouldn't worry, it won't rub off from use. Which could be BS, but maybe he's telling the truth.

I think I would rather have plastic than metal anyway. Metal has its cold hard feel, and it's not like I'm going to need tough protection... Either I handle it with care and both plastic and metal will do just fine, or I drop it and the insides are scrambled, never mind what the outside looks like. Of course I will be getting a 3 year (or maybe just 2) accident protection, so I would send it off and have it back to new in a few days, case broken or not.

Point is, I don't really mind the plastic and I'm glad it looks better. I'm not one to be picky about style but I wouldn't mind good looks to go with the awesome performance.
