The battle for the thinnest and lightest ultrabook is over. Today Lenovo unveils their latest product, the Thinkpad X1 Carbon, made with Carbon Fiber making it the Lightest and thinnest 14-inch Ultrabook to hit the market.
Created for those who demand the highest levels of performance, mobility, entertainment and design, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon exceeds Ultrabook™ specifications by using a premium carbon fiber rollcage to create a durable UltrabookTM weighing less than three pounds. Other premium features include 3G connectivity for anywhere anytime access, Lenovo RapidCharge for a near-full battery charge in 30 minutes, and Intel vPro technology for manageability.
“We crafted the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with premium carbon fiber material in order to make it incredibly thin and light, yet durable,” said Lu Yan, senior vice president, Think Product Group, Lenovo. “Our new ThinkPad laptop portfolio embodies much of the innovative thinking exemplified in the X1 Carbon, such as a backlit keyboard, super-bright high definition display, Dolby® Home Theatre® and rich communications features that balance business performance with personal use.”
Lenovo hasn’t announced a price for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which launches in June, but it’s not likely to come cheap.

A unique new way for people to send gifts to their friends and love one. WWW.GIVEWARMS.COM.
“Everybody at some point gives casual gifts — for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, congratulations, miss you, job well done, get well soon, and so on. But these gifts often lack originality (ahem, flowers), take themselves too seriously (uh, fruit baskets), or deliver very little substance or intrigue (lookin’ at you cards and e-cards) to the recipient.
Warms is an alternative; something that’s fun, unusual, experiential, and affordable. Something that arrives unexpected, reveals itself in layers, and thoughtfully conveys your sentiments without taking a lot of your time.”
This is really funny. [via PetaPixel]
Google Chrome for Android Beta
The good news, Google Chrome Browser, finally made it to the Android platform, the sad news is, for now, it’s only available on Android 4 ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) devices. Today February 7, 2012, Tuesday, Google launched the beta version of Chrome for Android Mobile Devices and tablets. For more than three years now Android lovers were stock with a less featured browser on their mobile devices, good thing there are plenty of other excellent browsers in the Android Market to choose from. Since the Android OS release, users have been rallying for the Chrome browser and now our wish have been granted.
Personally, I use Opera mobile browser for my Gingerbread phone and Kindle fire just because I don’t have any choice, and now that Chrome is just around the corner, I will surely switch to chrome the moment it’s available for download. Opera mobile browser is an ok browser for mobile devices, I’m just use to using Chrome all day and I feel at home whenever I use Chrome. I just love the speed and simplicity of Chrome.
One more reason to switch to Chrome is the personalized Chrome experienced. With this I have consistent browsing experience across multiple devices. As long as I’m logged in to Google using Chrome, I can view and access the tabs I left open on my computer and I can just picked up from where I left off and I can synchronize my bookmarks across platforms that uses the chrome browser. Isn’t that a really neat feature?
Chrome is now available in Beta from Android Market, in select countries and languages for phones and tablets with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.
