Unveiled back in january at CES in Las the olidata conte ultraslim notebook is finally at market A year almost to the day since the Apple’s MacBook Air launch Intel has got together with Olida to introduce the Olidata Conte, a new ultra-thin notebook. The sharp-looking machine was brought to us by U-Leader Design at CES 2009 in Las Vegas following an interview in April 2008 when the first whisperings of such a device was first mooted and it’s got the MacBook Air firmly in its sights. If it had hands, it would be gesticulating at the slim Apple right now.
The notebook design is futuristic and cutting edge. The wedge-shape profile measures just 2.18 at its thickest point and weighs in at a mere 1,6 Kg. It seems that the designers (U-Design Leader) has managed to find the right balance between a sophisticated modern aesthetic and efficient organizain of the internal space for internal components.
The Conte comes with the following:
* Centrino 2 processors with Intel Core 2 Duo SFF (Small Form Factor)
* Solid-state drive for file storage
* LED display
Like the MacBook Air, the Conte has no optical drive. Users who have an absolute necessity could use an external DVD burner. The space saved was used to insert more capacious batteries. Olidata quotes a battery life of more than 4 hours with the standard battery and 7 hours with auxiliary battery.
The high-end Conte will be equipped with a 13.3-inch LCD with 16:10 ratio and WXGA resolution (1280×800) and will benefit from the following additional features:
* Intel Turbo Memory (Robson)
* Fingerprint Reader combined the indispensable TPM chip
* 3GB of DDR2 RAM
* SSD mechanism for easy opening
* open backlit keyboard.
Both models will be getting a Europe-wide release this May costing around €1,000 or, depressingly with the current exchange rate, £1,000. There’s only one thing left to say: “Mamma mia, that eees a one-a sexeeee laptop, no?
