Japanese company NEC began taking orders for Lavie X - the thinnest, she claims ultrabook in the world. The laptop has a fairly large screen (15.6 inches), and the thickness of his body at the thinnest point is only 12.8 millimeters.
Trim excess millimeters NEC managed by a very thin components thickness less than 3.5 mm (exception - the two 5-mm cooler), and the special design of the keypad. For comparison, the thickness of Sasmung Series 9 has 12.9 mm, and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, made of carbon fiber - 17.5 mm.
On the other hand, the novelty as opposed to models Lavie Z (13,3 inches, 0.87 kg), is not the lightest (1.59 kg). The kit includes Lavie X screen with IPS-matrix (resolution - 1920x1080), Dual-Core Intel Core i7-3517U clocked at 1.9 GHz, 4 GB of RAM.
The volume of solid state drive (SSD) small by modern standards - 256 GB. There are two ports USB 3.0, wireless modules Wi-Fi (802.11n) and Bluetooth 4.0, for HDMI, SD-card reader, and a 2-megapixel webcam.
Although Lavie X is controlled by a 64-bit version of Windows 8, NEC had to abandon the touch screen, as it could negatively affect the thickness of the body. The declared autonomous operating time ultrabook - 7:00. In this case, the battery can be charged at high-speed by about 80% per hour, writes Techspot.
In Japan, the delivery Lavie X will start on December 27. You can order a laptop for 175,000 yen, or about 2 thousand 100 U.S. dollars. A simplified model with half the amount of SSD-drive (128 GB) costs 130,000 yen (about 1,500 dollars). Does the NEC Lavie X to withdraw to the international market, is still unknown.
