Like many of the new line of iPaqs, the 4700's design is an almost perfect cuboid--rounded corners, but overall a near perfect rectangle with smooth flat sides. The main body of the 4700 is a magnesium alloy. Unlike aluminum and other metals, magnesium has a tendancy to feel almost like a plastic in terms of texture and weight. It does, however retain the resilience of metal, and won't scratch or chip as easily as plastic will.
