My pre unibody Macbook Pro has tape inside too actually.

Not saying it's not worth it though. Tape doesn't hurt the performance (so long as it sticks)]]>Apr 25th 2009 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/Apr 25th 2009 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/
also, if you had one, how often would you be opening it up and going OH NOES LOOK AT THE TAPE

you really need to learn to actually praise things instead of always being negative. i know its easy to just point and lol on the internets, but this is a cheap really slim laptop that looks pretty awesome. FYI most laptops i have opened up use tape in some way shape or form. and whoever asked if it would set on fire or become unstuck when the laptop gets hot has obviously never heard of product testing. its like asking if the wheels will fall off a car when it drives.

You don't need a laptop to look awsome on the inside just because some guy at apple thought it was a good selling point. don't be stupid and buy the things you really need and like. besides, if the macbook air's unibody design is so spectacular, how do you explain the cracks in the hinges? msi engineers are the real deal, not those stupid designers apple has.]]>Apr 25th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/

I think the issue is that, tape aside, it looks mangled and haphazardly put together. Perhaps, whether you are changing/upgrading a part, or just drop it the wrong way, something is going to loosen or knock against something else in an improper way, causing problems. If you look at the MacBook Air or the Dell Adamo, they basically look like artwork inside. It's kind of a pride thing...attention to details. That's just my take, but what do I know?]]>Apr 25th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/
Yes you can look at msi and think theres wasted space. but before it was open everyone was praising its slimness for price... well they managed to put in small components and still have space which is great.
and i guess front of it with the 1inch of space will be for cooling as u can see the vents for cooling and its where it gets too thin to put anything]]>Apr 25th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/Apr 25th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/25/msi-x-slim-x340-gets-dissected/
