In early June 2012, a new contender emerged for the world's lightest laptop. At COMPUTEX 2012, the X11 notebook model from Gigabyte was presented in a series of concept notebook computers. Taiwanese manufacturers claim that the novelty is by far the lightest model in its class.
The X11 laptop really weighs significantly less than other models in its class - only 975 g. It is more than a hundred grams lighter than its closest competitor, the Asus Zenbook ultrabook. Exclusive and highly anticipated, the X11 comes with a full range of laptop options. The Ivy Bridge processor and 128GB SSD provide faster boot times and faster system performance.
The innovative development belongs to the company Gigabyte (https://www.gigabyte.ru/), one of the leaders in the market of computer equipment and components. Established in 1986 in Taiwan, the company has grown into a powerful industrial holding. The holding includes two main divisions: Gigabyte Technology and Gigabyte Communications. Only a few developers started the company's activities, today the staff numbers about 7000 people.
In the early stages, the company focused on the development and production of video cards and motherboards. Gigabyte Technology still carries out this direction, and the products are highly valued in the world of electronics due to their quality. The main direction of Gigabyte Communications is the production of smartphones and PDAs. By the way, the company was the first in the world to release a communicator with a built-in TV tuner. In addition to these areas of activity, Gigabyte has successfully mastered the production of laptops, desktop personal computers, television tuners, monitors, speaker systems, and peripheral computer devices.
In production, the company uses the most modern technologies that allow it to successfully compete with other recognized market participants. In particular, the use of carbon fiber (carbon fiber) allowed the X11 to keep the weight to a minimum. This material is lightweight and highly durable. The focus on innovation allows Gigabyte to confidently lead the complex market of high-tech devices.
