Lol... sounds like someone has too much free time on their hands! I 
think the metal you're talking about is similar to the type that's used 
on peoples braces these days... 'memory wire' I think is the term. 
Basically the wire is soft while at room temp, but once bought up to 
mouth temp it attempts to return to its original state, ie, a straight 
wire or whatever.

But yes, that would most certainly be an interesting laptop to see... 
imagine the look on a PC user's face as you folded up your laptop and 
put it in your pocket!
