This rig is so thin at 0.55 inch or 13.9mm and made of carbon fibre. For perspective, check out the comparison between this notebook when placed side by side with an iPhone 3G. If you’ve noticed, the only factor that’s stopping this ultraportable from going any thinner is the VGA port.

    Good looking but darn expensive. maybe even businessmen will have a hard time buying this one!

    @reel advice – this is actually less expensive than they’re best-selling business-class Vaio T at 120k.

    I hope ACER and the others do something like this… For sure the price will be much lower…

    I was wondering if you can pump up it’s memory, say for example, up to 4 or 8 Gb?

    @pusang kulo – Acer has something closely similar with their Php55k Timeline series. As for the specs, I don’t think you can upgrade it anymore since the DIMMs are embedded into the board.

    Just one question, is it pre-installed of what OS?

  12. Gravatar Icon yuga replied on Oct 14th, 2009 at 11:08 am (12)

    @ernie, as mentioned above, it’s pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional.

    @Pusang Kulog – I think 4GB is max for the Timeline.
