Keeping in footfall with the 14-inch Tecra R840, the R850 has a atramentous graphite anatomy with a asperous arrangement on the lid and approach rests, which has a nice feel and resists fingerprints. While the case may feel like plastic, it's absolutely fabricated of a magnesium admixture that's able with fiberglass, which helps assure adjoin assured bumps and bruises. The latest Dell Latitude and HP EliteBook notebooks are alike sturdier, but they counterbalance more. The alone ability on the R850 are the hinges, which are done up in a chrome plastic.
At 14.9 x 9.9 x 0.8-1.2 inches, the R850 understandably has a beyond brand than the 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad L420 (13.5 x 9.2 x 1.3-1.4 inches), but the R850 is hardly thinner and alone a beard added (5.4 pounds vs. 5.2 pounds). While 15-inch notebooks aren't advised to be confused about too much, the R850 is almost carriageable for its size.
