Doubtful as magnesium in this usage would only ignite from a spark.
Interesting though about heat build-up in tabs. Guessing that's the top handicap restricting more powerful processor's for them vs. the size.
My old HP tablet / PC with a dual core sometimes measured a ridiculous 140 degrees near the fan. Eventually the onboard graphics chip couldn't handle it. Went through a few mobo's like clockwork. However I was surprised to find it had precision cast magnesium bottom housing and enclosure covers (all vented).
