Intel announced it will release a new laptop codenamed Intel mobile Metro notebook that's due to be released this year. And you should take a look at some design features such as, let's say the incredible height of 0.7 inches. Yes that's right it's almost as thin as a Motorola's RAZR (as the producer puts it), and it's light as a feather too with a weight of only 2.25 pounds. Actually the whole design of the laptop is really smooth as the professionals at Ziba Design gave Intel engineers a hand.

"It's like jewelry," - that's the vision of Ziba designers when it comes to this project. The case is made of magnesium and other materials that are meant to scream 'quality', but visual pleasure is not all.



Also we can expect a lot of the latest technologies to be present with this laptop. Technologies such as always-on internet connection, finger-print security checker, hard-drive security and the latest in computing technologies.

If all goes well Intel can use this fancy laptop to fortify its position on the mobile technology market and to attract new user groups such as females that will find it more appealing.





ya, is vr nice. nice design, nice color, nice size.......
i jst wonder, what will happen if i accidentally drop from my hand??? it is vr thin!!!!!!

Well, we'll have to wait for further reviews. It does look stylish, but I wonder what kind of processing power its packing and how much heat it'll give out. As for gaming, I doubt it.

obviously this kind of laptop not designed for gaming purposes hehe

i think this will be most slim laptop in the world?

im wondering when will they start doing " projections " like instead a laptop with screens build-in , having a laptop-keyboard size laptop with projection . now that is hot . lol ! anyway , dont take my words seriously .

how much external stuff can this thing supports ? i hope this piece of tech available soon .

i second with u..air ventilation is one of its problem..
looks like the slim design wont allow hot air to blow out much..

New product technology...... & also new problem will face it??

if i'm not mistaken.. somebody did told me about it a year a go.
they discovered a processor that dont need fan or only need a small fan.
that's why they can come out with this kind of laptop.

what kind of processor can they use other than their own centrino line of core duo?
and what;s the method they use to protect the HDD?

Yes, read the topic again

It uses flash drive i believe and 14 hours battery life from the report i read. One of the screens had these straps that connect to the laptop so you can carry it around like a handbag.

yeah...World's thinnest laptop...great design but what about the price....What kind of cpu, how much memory....what kind of gc or gpu???i don't want if the lack of spec

No full specification of this notebook?

1st look...Woow...Wait for the Full Spec and price...Confrim not cheap...

the design is going to challenge apple's powerbook

maybe not for gamers. but it sure comes with fancy2 stuff. and it'll good for exec who present papers/projects a lot.

What a beauty...suitable if getting it for office/business usage

sure....everything can be slim if all other modules are external

With that super slim profile, im sure its not aimed for gaming at all.
Matched it with ULV proc and any decent onboard graphics, and you get a cool combination (pun intended)
besides, with magnesium body, any high end gpu would make the whole body hot

it might be even using high capacity flash memory as its HDD, which is more than a high possibly

maybe it'll be showcased in the next James Bond 007 movie

Wow...very nice design laptop
Dunno when typing, the laptop will break or not le?

Btw, where to u find this? Provide us some detail


-pWs-

Still concept only so cannot buy yet.

powered by vista...specs should be fine...

Nice, looks like technology is getting the gadget smaller. Sorry, i'm pure 10000% Desktop supporter

that thing looks like its gonna break in half if dropped @@"

thats why the body is made of "magnesium" =__=

Comes with SideShow, I like! Razr drop got break in half meh?

Razr small ma so harder to break into half for it proportion.

But dropping this laptop would probably crack the LCD.

maybe the screen using OLED?

cool lappy... is it really cool... how hot does it run...? and wat kind of cooling does it use...? most probably passive but will it survive...

really looks "yeng"
ppl think u carrying a text book only

hope not just concept, this very nice design.

it only weight as a feather wow that amazing .. If this design really release i think Intel Win the whole year already after releasing C2D it win AMD now pulak this really cut the head of AMD down (No Flame...)

looks great...juz wondering how much is it will cost....

Not very sure how's the cooling but hardly to be passive. Or else the heatsink is the whole laptop itself.

And it sure will be very expensive targetted at business notebook users.

good looking... but obviously won't be able to play games on this at all...

Looks good! But as long as you intend to play games (especially FPS), then forget it!

well... small laptops are usually targeted to business users... students and the masses usually go for HP Compaq or Dell(if new)... some go for Hyundai... if the cooling is not passive then there won be any cooling at all... the only way for tat is by using low-end components... rite...?

eat like biscuit... haha,...
