[QUOTE="Citizen Bleys, post: 1107052, member: 162033"] First of all, how's the wifi reception on the aluminum-body MBPs? Secondly, how are you able to get any reception at all? I'm no physicist, but it seems to me that a solid aluminum case would act as a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_Cage]Faraday cage[/url], thereby blocking out all electromagnetic radiation; wifi is radio frequency, and RF is EMR, so it should be impossible for the wifi signal to reach the internal wireless card on the MBP. How is the wifi cutting through the case? [/QUOTE]
