Intel Unveils World's Thinnest Laptop, Almost Skinny as a RAZR

Wowza! Check this out::::




Lord have mercy, Intel has just created a laptop that's as pretty as a supermodel, and thinner, too. Codenamed the Intel Mobile Metro Notebook, this prototype was designed by Intel along with Ziba Design, and it's a mere .7 inches thick and weighs just 2.25 pounds. It's no dumb blonde, either, packed with Intel's speediest and most efficient components, which will probably be plenty fast by the time this machine is manufactured, maybe even as soon as the end of this year.

This one has it all. The slim, champagne-colored magnesium notebook—which is only a quarter of an inch thicker than a Motorola RAZR cellphone—will include a magnetically attached folder that will be available in different fashion colors. That folder will also be able to charge up the laptop wirelessly, and ladies (at whom this design is clearly aimed) can attach a strap to it and make it look just like a purse. Jeez, what else did they include in this beauty?

It'll have always-on connectivity, using all Intel chips, of course, to connect via Wi-Fi, EV-DO and WiMax. It'll also have a flash memory hard drive, with an expected battery life of 14 hours. Check out the glow-in-the-dark, the screen on the outside of that folder, the beautiful gold accents, and the overall thinness of this thing. It's just astonishing.

If Intel is able to deliver this notebook anytime soon, it's going to give Apple a run for its money. The big question now? How much will this cost? According to Business Week, the main reason so many other laptops look so lame is because of cost considerations, and the designers of this notebook admit that price was no object. Even if it's expensive, this design is so thin and beautiful, it's sure to bring some fat changes to the laptop world.

i saw that earlier today and its seems cool i guess.
Thou i do favor slim, sleek laptop design i still think theres gotta be some substance to it even thou it may be perceived substance based on first view.
Ill go far out as to say that that ultra thin lap may be a product safety hazard to itself unless the chassis is made out of some type of exotic metals or titaninum.

And that 14hr battery claim is a bit outrageous

 

Yeah, I saw that at Engadget. IT IS MUY PRETTY!!! MESA LIKEY! But it'll most likely remain a prototype, like the other cool stuff they've introduced in the past (and which I can't find).

 

I wonder if this is for real, it looks almost too good to be true.

 

Actually, I believe that's a computer renered image. I could be wrong though.

 

The sideview of it almost looks like a mac... without the vista screen, it might just be Apple's upcoming ultraportable. Anyways, wasn't the VAIO X505 thinner(something like 0.5 in)? I can't find its specs sheet anymore, so I'm not sure

 

does anyone know what the screen size is supposed to be on that? I can't tell from the mock ups. Anyway, yeah, that's what I want, without the outer screen, flamboyant colors, and the purse strap (WTF?). Too bad it will never see the light of day, that or it will start at $2500USD or higher.
