I'd imagine that it depends on the quality and thickness of the leather used though. Also, the whole thing is really just a gimmick, so the chances of it being on sale after a year anyway are pretty slim. -Perros- Yeah the leather tearing is definitely possible.

The company that made them (I forget their name) berated my posts as silly. They later stopped all mention of the laptop due to torn leather. It's all happening again. I predict that in one year these will no longer be sold. I'm sure this post will be countered by the company, who will be paranoid about their image. In one year, these will no longer be for sale due to torn leather. Andy Out! This has been tried before, and in the mid-90’s I said that on a portable device like a laptop, the leather would tear up.

It is formed of animal hide, so it would burn at high enough temperatures, but these temperatures are incredibly high, and the rest of the laptop would be destroyed anyway at those temperatures. -Perros- Leather doesnt melt.
