Truly The World's Thinnest Notebook

Intel-Mobilemetro 04

Did you know Intel has design chops? The chip company not only makes most of the tech that goes inside this lappie but also wanted to push the envelope of how thin you could make it. Enter Ziba Design and Intel's very own engineers. They rose to the challenge and exceeded it.

Code name "Metro", the notebook is less, LESS than 0.7 inches. That's even thinner than the new Motorola RAZR when closed. Not only that, it's also the lightest weighing in at 2.25 pounds. There's no moving parts inside so battery life is an astounding 14 hours. But what about features? Surely something this svelte has no wireless capability. WRONG. Not only does it sport Wireless but also WiMax which is the next generation of wireless protocols. When open, the Metro very much resembles a Macbook Pro with its backlight keys, side speakers and single trackpad.

The only downside? It runs Windows Vista. Hit the jump for more pictures.
