Inhon Blade 13 Carbon: Price Revealed For New Thinnest Laptop

If you’re one of those who want their laptops to be so thin and light, then you may be interested to know that there’s actually one of its kind from Inhon, a Taiwanese computer making company. Now dubbed as the world’s thinnest and lightest, the new Blade 13 Carbon weighs a mere 870 grams and occupies only 10.7mm of space when it comes to thickness.

 

These measurements are enough to topple down Apple’s MacBook Air which has 1.35kg of weight and 17mm of thickness. Still not convinced? The new laptop from Inhon is lighter by 5g when compared with NEC’s LaVie Z that weighs 875g and it’s also thinner by 2mm when compared with NEC’s Lavie X which measures 12.8mm.

The Inhon Blade 13 Carbon is packed with impressive specs all crammed inside its thin and light body. It features a CPU of either Core i5 or i7, full HD 1080p screen of 13 inches, SSD of either 128GB or 256GB, RAM of 4GB, and Windows 8 OS.

Pricing however is not as ‘thin’ as customers hope it would be. The super ultraportable laptop sells at $ 1350 and will start shipping in Taiwan in June. There’s no sign that the Blade 13 Carbon is arriving in US shores though its thin and light features are enough to make MacBook Air loyalists feel a little regretful.

CST-01 Is The World’s Thinnest Watch, Price Confirmed on CES

This era speaks ‘thinner is better’, for electronics that is. Even wrist watches go along with the trend.

This product which goes by the name CST-01 is said to be the thinnest watch to date.

CST-01 boasts a thickness of only 0.8mm which is the thinnest of its kind. The watch has an unorthodox design, which is worn just like a bangle. It’s mainly made up of stainless steel making the body of the whole watch. What also makes up the device are thin and flexible components that are put together by laminating them into a 0.5mm unit. This unit will then be photochemically etched into a single piece of flexible stainless steel.

The watch does not have buttons on it. But time format, either 12-hour or 24-hour, can be adjusted through its external dock. What powers it is a micro-energy cell embedded in the watch. Power is said to last for a month, but will have its energy back through a 10-minute charge which is done via its base station. It is incredibly light at just 12 grams of weight.

CST-01 is still up in Kickstarter for funding with a goal of $ 200,000 and pre-orders are also now available at a price of $ 129 each. So they got right now are just prototypes, meaning, the product may still undergo modification in its design. But the makers say that they will be keeping the watch under 1 mm thick, regardless of any alteration they will be doing with the product.

CST-01 comes in black or white,and $ 129 orders will be shipped September this year.
