To put this slight disadvantage into context: Those who rely on a perfectly torsion-resistant device will have to go with the higher weight of an aluminum unibody. The same holds true for the lid: While the rear side is indeed highly pressure-resistant (even when applying pressure on a single point in the center), it can be distorted a bit to the sides. Lifting the opened laptop at one edge leads to a slight distortion of the base unit.

Unfortunately, the torsion resistance of the lid and the base unit are not quite as good as with (noticeably heavier) aluminum unibodies ( Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13, ATIV Book 9 Plus).
Thanks to the matte, slightly rubberized surfaces (in all areas), the 14-inch device has a non-slip feel to it. Still, it is far harder and more torsion-resistant than plastics would permit, despite a weight that has been reduced to a mere 1411 grams (~3.1 pounds). The high-quality materials cannot be experienced haptically by the user as the base unit, the area around the input devices and the lid feel like matte-painted plastics (and not metal-cold such as aluminum surfaces do). The 2013 version offered a weight of just 1513 grams (non-touch version: 1347 grams ~3.3 and 3.0 pounds respectively) while retaining great sturdiness.
