Despite the small size and weight, this computer is a powerhouse. It comes equipped with Intel’s Core i7 CPU, and a fast SSD drive on top of the powerful CPU. Using a secondary battery that comes in a ‘sheet’ form factor, users can expand the battery life of the laptop to over 13 hours. 8 gigabytes of RAM will also do a lot to ensure fast loading times and great performance.

If you’ve been considering getting an Apple MacBook Air, you may want to rethink your decision and wait for this notebook. Thinner and lighter than the air, it packs 4 times the RAM, and at much more CPU power. Unfortunately, all of this power and portability comes at a price, which will leave your wallet considerably lighter. At around $2,000 USD for the basic model, users can spend well over double this amount if they choose to go for many of the bells and whistles available.
