If you're currently looking for the lightest and thinnest laptops, this is your place! The Thinnest Laptop Computers
At only 2.3 pounds and 0.11 - 0.68 inches thick for the 11-inch MacBook Air, and 2.9 pounds and 0.11 - 0.68 inches thick for the 13-inch MacBook Air, the Apple MacBook Air is one of the thinnest and lightest laptops around. And besides being an extremely portable notebook, the Apple MacBook Air is one of the most stylish thin laptop computers as well. The MacBook Air was originally introduced as a 13 inch laptop and first to use Apple's sleek unibody aluminum enclosure. With the current 13-inch model and the introduction of the smaller 11-inch MacBook Air, Apple definitely holds a place among the top players for offering some of the thinnest laptop computers in the industry.  The 2010 Apple MacBook Air not only showed off its newly redesigned
body with an even lighter enclosure over the original MacBook Air, but
a higher resolution screen, and other cool new features graced the
newer Air as well. Apple successfully produced a smaller,
thinner laptop, that had better performance over many
comparable PC notebooks offered on the market. Current MacBook Air laptops are powered by a powerful and battery efficient Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and MacBook Air configurations come standard with 2GB of high speed memory. The MacBook Air also comes with built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi, Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) Bluetooth 2.1 technology, a large Solid State Drive, built in iSight webcam, and more. The 11-inch MacBook Air also gets up to a comfortable 5 hours of battery runtime, and the 13-inch MacBook Air is rated up to more at a solid 7 hours. Overall you can't go wrong with the MacBook Air, for it is without a doubt one of the coolest laptops around, not to mention one of the thinnest laptop computers out there! The Thinnest Laptop Computer - Innovation & Design
Dell offers some of the thinnest
laptop computers in the world via their Adamo XPS line. Adamo XPS
laptops come
in multiple 13.4 inches flavors, and we anticipate Dell moving forward
with new
models in the future. At the moment though, two very popular Dell Adamo
XPS models
include the slim Adamo A13-6349PWH and the ultra-slim Adamo AX-3600GSL. The bigger of the two, the Dell Adamo XPS A13-6349PWH 13.4-inch laptop measures only 0.65 inches thick, compared to the MacBook Air's thickest point at 0.68 inches. The Adamo XPS A13-6349PWH technically edges out the Macbook Air as far as maximum thickness, but the MacBook Air gets thinner from back to front, so overall the MacBook Air appears thinner than the Adamo XPS A13-6349PWH.
The slimmer Dell Adamo XPS AX-3600GSL is another story, for this model sets new standards for craftsmanship, design and engineering. The Dell Adamo XPS AX-3600GSL not only weighs barely over 3 pounds, but it is amazingly thin at only 0.39 inches from front to back. When Dell revealed the Adamo XPS AX-3600GSL, it was the thinnest PC laptop you
could buy, and it offered
fresh new styling never before seen in laptops. Dell crafted the frame
from one
aluminum piece with precision detailing all around, and it offered a
new
kickstand type design, where the keyboard and base literally fold into
the
screen area.
That's a great question, for while
the kickstand design does look very cool, and it helps to cool the
laptop
efficiently as well, it may take time for some individuals to get used
to it. Two
of my coworkers and I felt the newer design was great and we didn't
have any problems
with it whatsoever. On
the other hand, another
coworker of mine didn't feel it was ergonomically friendly and he said
it
bothered his wrists, plus he found it a bit awkward when using it on
his lap. So our conclusion is that things
really
come down to personal preference. Though
3 out of 4 at Laptop-Computer-Comparison.com in favor of the design is
promising, but if possible, we recommend that users experiment with the
kickstand design to see if it works for them before buying. Overall, Dell Adamo XPS laptops are without a doubt among the lightest and thinnest laptop computers around. The Dell Adamo XPS AX-3600GSL and its kickstand type design is also innovated styling at its best. Our only wish list for Dell Adamo laptops is a lower price tag, and better battery life, but as it stands now, the Adamo is a sweet mobile machine. Thin And Light Laptops For Business
The Dell Latitude 13 is ultra-thin and stylish,
and another computer that is in the running for the thinnest laptop.
It's primarily made for commercial and business consumers so it has an
Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Intel processor, and other business tailored
features. Plus it comes in a light weight 3.4 pound package
that is durable yet thin. Dell Latitude 13 laptops are only .65 inches
at their thickest point. Final Thoughts: It's no surprise that laptops
of yesterday were nowhere near as light and thin as the laptops
available today, and as technology continues to advance each year, this
trend will surely continue. Expect laptops to get smaller,
lighter, and even more efficient. Buy The Lightest Laptops, Thinnest Laptops, Smallest Netbooks, Notebooks, Accessories & More
