- enough futuristic features to make a geek’s head spin.
- Using flash memory in place of the standard hard-disk drive, Ziba and Intel have managed to make this laptop just 0.7 inches thick. The use of flash resulted in a side benefit: the laptop consumes less power and offers up to 14 hours of battery life. At 2.25 pounds, it’s also among the lightest notebooks around.
- this laptop can also access the Web via Wi-Fi and WiMax wireless-broadband connections.
Ziba decided to use real metal-champagne-colored magnesium, to be exact-for the laptop case, rather than the standard plastic. The trim is gold-colored.
- Unlike most notebooks, this laptop’s screen isn’t encased, photo-frame-like, in a plastic rim. Instead, the glass extends to the very edges, mimicking a look found in high-end flat-panel TVs. The screen contains light sensors, which adjust brightness automatically. It also features a built-in video camera.
- The typical notebook’s surface has little dips and valleys for the keys and various buttons. This laptop is completely smooth except for a slight groove between the keys. The keys themselves are marked in a futuristic orange font, and they glow in the dark.
- Ziba hopes to see the computer sold with a special protective folio that, at first glance, looks like a fashionable cover for a personal diary. The folio, which clings to the laptop with embedded magnets, is equipped with contacts that connect the laptop to an external digital screen. That display can be used to read e-mail or display a screensaver or photo (the sort of personalization popular with cell phones). The folio, which plugs into an electric outlet, can also double as a wireless charger for the laptop and other devices.
I’ll admit it, There is innovation in this notebook’s design. But its too highly fashionable and seem as if it was created for the fem geek. There’s even a strap for the cover which makes it seem like its a purse O.o.
The use of solid state to increase battery performance is genuis But Ive had many thumb drives that just up and died one day. Don’t know if i trust that for my notebook But i’ld give it a whirl before comming to any decision on the technology being used in that manner
Glow in the dark keys - Finally i dont need to say.. i wish there was a pc that had keys that lit up at night. Eat your heart out naive steve *Steve Jobs*
