Ok, so aluminum is pretty tough
Categories Consumer Tech Follow-up
These pictures of a MacBook Pro that took a bullet during a mugging in Brazil pretty much have me eating my words about the durability of aluminum versus polycarbonate. The aluminum definitely seemed to protect the components of the computer. I do wonder how a polycarbonate MacBook or iBook would have fared in the same situation, as polycarbonate is used to make bulletproof glass.
