May 29 2007Intel Creates Thinnest Laptop Ever

Intel has created the world's thinnest notebook called the mobile Metro notebook, coming in at less than 0.7 inches thick—about one-quarter of an inch thicker than the Motorola Razr cell phone. The thing weighs just 2.25 pounds and uses flash memory in place of the standard hard-disk drive to get a whopping 14 hours of battery life. The only way to get a thinner laptop would be to run over this one with a car. Or, you know, glue some microchips onto a pancake or something.

Omg. I'd friggin' lose it behind the couch.

First!

computers and storage media that small shows the insignificance of the info stored on it. We humans really are just running around blind pretending we're doing something useful, but we're all just filling time with distractions from our own fear of death.

So you say... yet instead of finding something actually useful to do, your posting things here... LAME!

You're right jesus god. I'm going to go read the bible now. Thanks for the irony of posting comments on these blasphemous computers and storage media devices..

Oh by the way, how much porn can I store on that flash drive.

haha you people are sooo lame. I make up some stupid comment and stupid user name and you people just have to reply haha. gad get a life. At least I'm chained to my desk right now. what's your excuse for being here? Actually I don't care, so STFU and move along hahahahah!

WOW! That animosity could curdle milk...

Hey Jesus, what happened to turning the other cheek?

What happens when you type too hard and it breaks in half? Does the warranty cover that?

lol

that is an amazing laptop.. esp with 14 hours of battery life..

that laptop is thinner than my POS cell phone

Kinda makes me wonder where I'm supposed to keep this thing when I'm travelling.

Leave it in my car seat and the next thing I know, my proctologist has a not-so-shiny new laptop that..for some reason..has all my porn and bank account info on it.

Bastards. Why can't we just stick to to this humming rock engraved with glyphs that I'm using now?!

I was going to buy one until I saw this feature of it..

I refuse to go around town looking like Tinky-Winky!

"break it by typing too hard"... funny, and apt.

"looking like a Tinky-Winky"... funny, and apt.

Still, I want one... soooo badly. What if I get the black one and paint flames on it? Then rip off the purse handle? And, uh... spray it with Old Spice?

You'd better be the real Pastor Al, or i'm hating you.

Just don't putit on it's side...you might not find it again.

Bob....totally agree. I'm a chick and that things too girly even for me. Besides, I've owned some of those super skinny devices before and I'm not impressed. They're more awkward to use and in my experience not as durable, though they definitley are attention getters. I don't think I'd want the kind of attention this fugly thing would get me though. Why'd they have to gay it up with the ugly colors and purse strap?

Hey CAPTICALLETTERS
Yup, the real me. I tossed back and forth whether or not I would let my lurking be known...

You want the honest truth? I was beginning to feel like I was the cause of the Hedo shut-down. Everytime I posted, Hedo would quit for a while... hoping I would leave and never return... and then he would come back, and I would post, and he would leave. So, like any paraniod conservative... I took it personally.

When I looked back, I found geekologie. I liked it before, but now the long promised comment boards are here!

Here's hoping my flagrantly pervasive Jesus talk doesn't blow up the site again.

Well... looks like I blew up the thread...

Nah.

I think everyone went out and bought one of these damned things so they could go rob the local convenience store.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

I'd be afraid to put it down a bit clumsily and have it snap in half at the merest movement :x

That's hot.
