[Engadget] Gigabyte Claims "Worlds Lightest" NoteBook 975g X11

Gigabyte's just made its 11.6-inch X11 laptop (or is that an Ultrabook?) official. At 975g (2.15 pounds) it claims the title of "lightest notebook on earth" -- and weighs even less on Mars. Design-wise, you're looking at a 16.5mm (0.65 inches) to 3mm (0.19 inches) thin Macbook Air-like body made of real carbon fiber (!) with an aluminum hinge. Under the hood you'll find unspecified third generation Intel Core processors (read Ivy Bridge), 4GB of DDR3 RAM, Mobile Intel HM77 Express chipset with Intel HD Graphics 4000, a 128GB SSD, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

The question is.

Who is Gigabyte's ODM for notebooks?

Okay. I admit it is IDENTICAL to a MBA this time.

Despite the carbon fiber, that is.
Will last until 2015!

I like the starting price(not sure where I saw it, but It starts at $700). Maybe after my Kepler build I'll have the funds to get an Ultrabook.

I rather have a laptop industry emphasize on battery life over thin and light

Awesome! I seriously hate the feeling of textured metal chassis. For some reason, it makes my skin crawl much like nails on a chalkboard. I could be very weird though.
