With a starting price of $1,000, it sports an aluminum lid and carbon fiber chassis -- a material we wish more Ultrabook makers would incorporate. Though it has a 13-inch screen, it's the kind of panel with bezels so narrow that Dell was able to build a chassis small enough for a 12-inch system."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1327353824.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>It is hard to believe that the start of the ultra thin laptop rage started way back in 2008.&nbsp; While there certainly excessively thin laptops before the Macbook Air, the Air caught the attention of the consumer market in droves.&nbsp; It is four, yes, four years later, and Dell has put forward their latest competitor.&nbsp; If you are into thin, but not an Apple fan, Engadget's quick overview may give you the information you need.&nbsp; While I personally like the idea of laptops light enough that I can carry, I await the day that they carry more graphics punch.&nbsp; What about you?</p>
