Titanium VS. Aluminum
So... which casing do you like better. It seems that some people still like the Ti. I haven't really decided yet... But I think the Al case is problably much less flimsy than the Ti.
Either way, I really like the 17" better... I guess it's the size of the screen and the backlit keyboard thet won me over.
Anyway, let please post you preference and its reason, thanks.

i have both, the AI feels better, seems sturdier, and stirkes me as less prones to scratches/nicks. only time will tell on that last part though.
I wouldve much rather seen a 12"mini-ti instead of the aluminum...
Also, Titanium does not dent...Aluminium is highly prone to denting and bending. I have seen many 12" display models with dented corners and dents over the release latch button.
No thanks.
Titanium isn't less prone to dents and scratches either.
Given the choice, I would go with aluminum because it's easier for Apple to deal with.
Still, it's damn classy.

Tell that to my Ti book, its got a dent on the cover near the apple and i'm very carefull with it. Is it me or does the 12" AI get dirty easier.
I vote Aluminum like my bike

titanium flexes, aluminum bends (as far as my bike frame goes)

i know aluminium is pretty good at dispersing heat, how does the titanium compare?
<strong>The 12" Al picks up fingerprints and grime from your hands like nobody's business, but I've found that a very slightly damp terry-cloth removes all marks on the outer case with only a slight rub. The anodized surface cleans very easily.</strong><hr></blockquote>
What about scratches? How does it compare to the back of an ipod? I can't even tell that there was once an apple logo on the back of mine. And the screen. If you push the back of it can you tell on the screen like the Ti's?

Did it come with a little gray wipe cloth like the iMac does?
Aluminium his better for heat dissipation, less better than copper but better than Ti
It's far easier to build aluminium case than Ti case, thus it cost less.
Alu is less high end , but have a better quality-price ratio.
But TI is the best. n'est ce pas my dear friend ?
