So what?! Nowhere do PCS UK, which is the scope of these fora, say that it has an aluminium chassis. You've also had a UK PCS customer conform that.
I know that a UK PCS customer conform that. But someone said that the aluminum painting makes it look like plastic. I do not want to make controversy, I would like a single and unequivocal answer.

You've had one. A UK customer has stated that it's not aluminium and the PCS description does not say its aluminium. Give PCS a call.
Ok I asked on the Italian Forum and I also called PCS, they confirm that the body of the Defiance VII is made of metal. Here I am told it is not metal. What certainty do I have?

Fede - you asked if it is aluminium and got the answer that the UK site does not describe it as aluminium.
Clevo may describe it as metal and PCS may have confirmed to you it is metal, however not all metal is aluminium, so you are being told it is not described as aluminium.
People dont want to tell you it is aluminium and then you get it and you complain that it is only a black metal and not aluminium.

I have not said that it's not aluminium - because I've never seen one. What I have said is that a UK user who has one has said it's not aluminium and that nowhere in the PCS descriptions do they say that it's aluminium. If you've spoken to PCS (in the UK) and they said that 'it's made of metal' then that's a definitive answer - though it would have been wise for you to ask whether the metal was aluminium - hopefully it's not a metal like cadmium, beryllium, or even plutonium.... 😱
Good morning and happy Sunday.
As you can understand from my posts, I am interested in knowing if the body is made of metal, no matter if aluminum, magnesium or plutonium. At first I asked if it was aluminum, because some sellers write this. From the following posts it is clear that I am asking for confirmation for the metal body, whatever metal it is.
However, it is not to insist, but looking here in the English forum, I found this thread, where it confirms that the 15 "Defiance VII model has a metal body. PCS also for the 15" version doesn't write anything about it.

[Defiance VII] normal chassis ?
Hello ! I just received the new defiance VII. The chassis is in aluminium, but there is space between the bottom cover and the rest. What do you think about this ? Is it normal ? :) I have to push hard to plug jack or usb, maybe because not totaly in front of the ports. Also, the edges are...

It’s quite possible it is but to be sure you’d need to ask PCS directly. I’d imagine it is personally.

Just so you're aware, the Vyper currently has a BIOS issue when runninig on battery which leads to low battery life and poor voltages / performance (only when on battery).
PCS have got a new BIOS they're trialling which is looking promising, so once that's confirmed, they'll release it for customers to update.
Vyper 17 Slow on Battery
Hello Everyone, The manufacturer has confirmed the issue and are now finalising testing on a new EC (Embedded Controller) firmware update. We're sorry for the extended wait. I'll be sure to get it in your hands as soon as possible! Chris
The Vyper is an excellent chassis though.

You’ll be fine then, but I have no doubt PCS will update it and solve the issue soon.
All the best, it’s a great laptop.

I hope it arrives fast. I am impatient...
The issue appears to be sorted
