While we certainly thought that the Razer Blade was an awesome gaming notebook, we never thought demand for a $2,800 notebook would be this high. So high, in fact, that Razer has run out of their initial stock within 30 minutes of putting it on sale.
If you’re a fan of ultra-slim, MacBook Air-like notebooks, then you’re probably loving the amount of options that have been popping up featuring Intel’s Ultrabook spec. Dell just put out their entry for the slim and sexy category: the Dell XPS 13. As expected from an ultrabook, it’s super slim, with a body that measures 6mm thick at its thinnest point and 18mm at its thickest, but it does come with a nice design feature that sets it apart: an edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass panel that protects the entire inner half of the lid, from the screen to the slim bezel.
Samsung has introduced the sequel to the Series 9, an ultraslim line of notebooks that they debuted in 2011. The latest model still keeps the Series 9 line’s slim design, but improves on it by making it even slimmer (of course), with an aluminum unibody chassis that weighs only 2.5 pounds and measures only half an inch thick.
HP has officially unveiled the ultraslim notebook that they first revealed in a teaser video released a few days ago. Called the Envy 14 Spectre, the notebook packs a nice spec into a stylish frame that’s topped off with a glass outer lid. Despite the glass covers, it’s not necessarily something you’d need to handle with caution in case you were worried about scratching the beautiful surfaces. Specifically, the screen, outer lid and touchpad is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass, the same scratch-resistant glass that you’ll find protecting Apple’s iPhone 4 and 4S.
