Intel Unveils Metro-World's Thinnest Laptop


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.

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.

Metro is expected to come out as a champagne colored magnesium notebook. A Splash-Pad like folder is attached to the notebook. This functions as a wireless multi purpose charger for mobile devices while you are on the move.

Metro is expected to have an “always-on” Internet connectivity on contrary to the currently used special cards that are required to access the web from your laptop.

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.

Other attractive features might include a finger print reader for security, small microphones to cancel out the background noise and innovative mechanisms to kill the hard drives remotely.
