The worlds thinnest Notebook by Intel!!!
May 26th, 2007 by Annkur
Intel’s Mobile Metro laptop which was co-created with Ziba Design certainly deserves an honorable mention for its thickness, cutting an impossible figure of 0.7″ while weighing a wee bit above 1kg. Intel has promised that they will throw in the fastest and most efficient components into the champagne-toned magnesium chassis, with WiFi, EV-DO, and WiMax connectivity included. Not only that, you get a flash-based memory hard drive and a 14 hours battery life. Somebody pinch me already. Better start saving for one today if it were to be released at the end of this year at best.
When Intel asked designers to build a better laptop, its instructions were simple, really. The machine has to be fashionable, able to connect to all manner of wireless networks, and full of the latest, fastest computing capabilities.
Consumers, as a result, are a big driver for sales. And more than ever, consumer-buying choices are influenced not just by function, but form. At the same time, many PC makers have given short shrift to design in hopes of keeping costs at a minimum.
That’s where Intel, with Ziba, hope to make their mark. “Intel wants to stimulate the conversation,” says Roger Kay, president of consultancy Endpoint Technologies Associates. Besides making the machine thin, they’re also using materials aimed to communicate high quality and coolness. Made of champagne-colored magnesium, the laptop is decorated with subtle gold accents.
