Sony has finally let loose of the official pricing for its razor-thin UHDTVs. ASUS says it has a 1.49cm-thin aluminum chassis, weighs 1.85kg, and uses Slash Lighting on the lid. ASUS says it has a 1.59cm-thin chassis, weighs 1.5kg, and keeps the Slash Lighting design while using an aluminum body. ASUS says the G14 includes updated cooling with thicker heat pipes, revised heat pipe placement, 137 ultra-thin copper fins, and improved airflow. But the question remains -- who has the thinnest ultrabook in town? Here's a simple chart we got from The Verge showing the relative thin-ness (or thickness) of 6 of the contenders. Of the lot, the Macbook Air 13 and the Asus Zenbook UX31 seems to have the most identical profile, starting off with a very thin 0.11" going up to 0.71". Surprisingly, it's the Samsung Series 9 that's actually the thinnest of them all, topping at just 0.64" at its thickest point.
