Asus Develops Thin UX21 Laptop!

Asus has come up with a new thin as air laptop in the form of the UX21! It’s not a joke; this laptop is just 17mm at its thickest point and weighs just 2.2 lbs. It’s so lightweight that you literally won’t feel any weight when you carry it with you.

And aside from being practically weightless, the Asus UX21 has an aluminum metal construction with what Asus calls a “spun” finish that looks so beautiful and flawless. Even a glance will show how smooth to the touch it is. No doubt it’s quite durable as well.

The hands-on video by Engadget shows that on the left side of the laptop are a headphone jack, a USB port, and a display port output. Also on the right side is the power outlet, another USB port and HDMI output. The back portion doesn’t show a removable battery just the hinge.


Within the laptop are a metal keyboard and a glass trackpad. You will see that the beauty of this laptop is not merely on the outside but inside as well.

Asus states in their product page that the UX21 is packed with Intel’s 2nd generation Core mobile processors up to the i7. Other features include SATA 6GB SSD and Instant-On feature. Thin as it is, the UX21 doesn’t have an optical drive.
