Not Notebook Nor Netbook: Just Call It a Slim Book




There’s no formal criteria for what puts a PC notebook into the “superslim” category, but it probably should weigh no more than three pounds and be no more than an inch thick.


Asus and Dell, both champions in the lighter and slimmer quest, have announced new machines that more than fit this category, which now seems to nestle between the netbook and the conventional notebook. They generally cost as much or more than either of those varieties.
The Asus UX30, available now in Japan, has a three-pound aluminum body, selling for about $1,100. The profile of the machine is 0.77 inches, which is thin by anyone’s definition.
The $450 Dell Vostro V13 borrows from Dell’s high-end Adamo XPS, aims at the business traveler. It measures 0.65 inches thick, but weighs a little on the heavy side at 3.5 pounds. Vostro V13, which is also encased in aluminum, is on sale worldwide, Dell says.
