I’d tell them to knock 50-70 off for the condition of the surfaces. No idea about the model and specs or if that’s worth it but that’s an ugly case on it and I would be grossed out using it, would probably have to tape a sheet of paper over the worn out spots to be comfortable touching that surface.
My laptop, similar Taiwanese brand, is fairly new and already beginning to look like this. I don’t know why they have to be such cheapskates with the crappy fake metal finish. Somehow we can find enough aluminum to make disposable Coke cans out of it but it’s too expensive for a laptop casing.
Model and price is unimportant. But if metal’s too expensive and they can’t do a fake chrome finish that doesn’t wear off in 5 minutes then then they should just stick to white or black.

What model?
It sounds like a really cheap model.

Sure, but I’m just curious because of course a very cheap model is very cheaply constructed.
Also comparing cans to machined aluminium is pretty weird when they are completely different.
