This system is black and silver with blue LED lighting. The casing has a nice solid feel, and the weight is average at around 6.6 lbs. The hinges for the monitor feel quite strong, and there is no ripple effect on the LCD by pushing on the back of the monitor. Strangely, there is no latch or lock at all for when the laptop is in the closed position. You just pull up on the monitor to open it. This is the first laptop I have owned with this design, and I rather like it. The entire casing is thick plastic with a glossy look all over, which, while looking very impressive, also shows a lot of fingerprints. Keep a cleaning cloth handy.
