Comment on Apple may use Carbon Fiber in Next Macbook

Comments

Well for maximum effectiveness, there needs to be a substrate on which to lay the carbon fiber. Having just a sheet of carbon fiber mesh and cured resin isn't nearly as strong as that same sheet covering some other material like foam or wood.

For a 3 lb MacBook Air, I seriosuly doubt they'll need to reinforce it with anything. A six layer carbon fiber bottom will be more than adequate.
