Just want to let all of you know, Z60t
notebook use Carbon Fiber. All Black colour Lid
Z60t use Carbon Fiber as standard. The CF
they use are called "CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)"
But it is hiddened under the paint....!

ThinkPad Z60t 「ThinkPadブラック」モデルのトップカバーでは、
持ち運んで使うことを前提とした強度と軽さをバランスよく両立させるため、
航空機や車のボディーにも採用されている技術ハイブリッドCFRP※を採用。
液晶パネルを守る硬度を保ち、同時にモバイルに適した軽量な構成を実現

※ハイブリッドCFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) :
2層にした炭素繊維の間に比重の軽い発泡材層を挟み込んだ複合素材

Cool~ No wonder why it is so tough now. I've droped it once with the cover opened and power on. And the edge of the screen hit the edge of the chair, which is pretty sharp, but after I cleaned the paint of the chair out, it looks and works just like nothing has ever happened. :wink:
