Intel and Ziba Design have just announced a newest Metro Notebook that’s going to be one of the thinnest laptops in the world. Being only 0.7 inches thick, it has a magnesium case weighs around 2.2 pounds making it the lightest laptop in the world too.

This screen on a back side of a laptop will display important information even when the laptop is in sleep mode or switched off.

Among other exciting features of Intel Metro notebook are: integrated fingerprint reader, ultra-fast SSD drive, built in webcam, noise cancelling microphones and cool backlit keyboard.

Besides the screen, it is also possible to configure other hardware, such as CPU (a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 or Core Duo T2050), RAM (you can add up to 4 GB) and HDD (80, 100 or 200GB).
