Intel ‘Metro’ laptop gets world’s thinnest frame
Intel has decided to go size zero for it’s promising Metro notebook concept which will be unveiled later this year. According to the reports doing round on internet, it’s only 0.7-inches thick and weights 2.25 pounds. The chip giant has teamed up with Ziba Design in Portland to manufacture a laptop that can be as thin as Motorola’s Razr but with loads of functionality. It includes a magnetically attached diary-like folder (available in different colors) that functions as a wireless charger for the device. One side features a screen made of material devised by E Ink that displays a picture, calendar, or your schedule for the day. The Metro also sports embedded chips so you can access cellular, Wi-Fi, or WiMax wireless broadband networks. It provides so-called small array microphones from Fortemedia that reduces background noise when running application like Skype. The computer is built to enhance security, boasting a fingerprint reader and a mechanism that lets users kill a hard drive by remote control.
