Ultra-portability seems to be the basis of a high-end laptop. Different notebooks today compete not only in performance but also in terms of design, style, dimension and weight. If you were amazed with the incredible thickness of Dell Adamo XPS, the lightness of Sony Vaio X will surely grab your attention. The latest Sony Vaio X only weighs 1.5 lbs (with the standard battery), making it the world’s lightest laptop at present.

The secret of Vaio X for being the lightest mobile computer is its truly compact machine housed in a lightweight carbon-fiber casing. It also boasts itself for having a thickness of just 0.55 inches (13.9 mm), which is roughly as thin as a No.2 pencil.

Below are some of the features and technical specifications of Sony Vaio X:

• 11.1-inch scratch-resistant LCD display
