The shell will be magnesium alloy, which means that it will be stiffer
and stronger than other subnotes.  Also probably lots more expensive.
HP made it big on calculators you could throw off cliffs without damage,
and the small Omnibooks have been the only subnotes for which I'd
consider trading my IBM(s), so I think this will be a great machine.
