Thank you for the great review, specially the open insides detailed photos, it differentiates your site from many others!

I don't know if you still have the 1002, but I have 2 questions about it.
The S101 also has aluminum hand rest near the touch pad and when it is connected to the power supply, I can feel that the aluminum palm rest is not electrical isolated. I can feel a very uncomfortably sensation every time that I touch it, like electric current is passing to my fingers

I wonder if the 1002 has the same problem, of trying to electrocute their owners? When it is connected to the power supply, do you feel any current when you lightly touch the aluminum hand rest near the touch pad or any other area?

The other question is more curiosity.
I've noticed in the 1002 lid a rectangular area, just opposite side to the camera, that looks like plastic.
Do you know if there is any purpose for the laptop lid not being all covered with aluminum?

PS: Sry. for my not so good english.

Hello,

I used it for a week and didn't feel the static electricity flowing as you experienced with this other model.

Regarding the plastic lid, I really don't know the answer.

Cheers,
Gabriel.
