My cleverly crafted title aside, this blog post will be dedicated to the laptop computer that you, well, have to get. And I mean HAVE TO. I’m going to let Business Week do the talking here:
The result, code-named Intel mobile Metro notebook, is less than 0.7 inches thick—about one-quarter of an inch thicker than Motorola’s iconic cell phone [the Razr], making it the world’s thinnest notebook. And at 2.25 pounds, it’s also one of the lightest small-sized portable computers. Other features include always-on Internet connectivity via various wireless technologies.
You read that right: a quarter of an inch thicker than a Razr. 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.
This thing is going to be available soon, perhaps as soon as the end of 2007, though no prices have yet been released or announced.
The last thing I’ll say about this is that I’m not buying the idea that this product appeals to women. I think this is a definite whizz-bang kinda gadget, which is within man’s purview.
