Gigabyte X11 – the lightest notebook on earth

Gigabyte is presenting new exciting notebook models with sleek design and redefines the standard for lightweight notebooks by launching three ultra lightweight notebooks X11, U2442 and U2440.


It is made through six stages of rigorous production processes by applying woven diamond technique which resulted in a breath-taking feather weight design.

Gigabyte X11 is the lightest 11.6'' full carbon fiber notebook on earth weighing only 975g.

Gigabyte also launched the 14'' U2442 with an elegant shuttle streamline design featuring 3rd generation Intel Core processors, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M / GT 640M discrete graphics, THX TruStudio Pro audio technology and 1600x900 HD+ display to realize the possibility of the existence of both light weight and performance for multimedia enjoyment and to redefine the lightweight notebook standard.

Gigabyte created the ultra thin form factor with high-tech carbon fiber with superior design capability and superb technique, making the 975g X11 the lightest 11.6'' notebook on earth. Carbon fiber is light yet tough; therefore X11 is exceptionally durable. The specific strength of carbon notebook is 6 times stronger than of an aluminum notebook; meanwhile it comes with higher elasticity coefficients. The design details of X11 are comprehensively calculated to make the thinnest part stand at only 0.3cm, the thickest part at 1.65cm. The streamline design makes the perfect interpretation of delicate notebook crafts.

X11 is made by unique diamond weaving technique with careful application of transparent or black paint coating, forming the amazing Woven Diamond and Black Diamond classics X11. The Woven Diamond exposes the beauty of the original glaze carbon black and diamond weaving patterns. The Black Diamond applies the lacquer on the cover to show the meticulous texture. All the carbon fiber covers need to be examined thoroughly and polished by the craftsmen to ensure the perfect chassis shape for X11. It is designed both externally and functionally by taking cues from the aggressive and sleek looks of a sports car presenting a special 3D arc design.

Except the lightest carbon notebook X11, Gigabyte also launched the 14'' U2442. The U2442 is exceptionally designed with a sleek form factor that is just 1.57kg and thinness from 18.5-21mm with an elegant shuttle streamline design.

It is powered by 3rd generation Intel Core processors and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M / GT 640M discrete graphics reaching 3DMark Vantage at 9,587 points. The U2442 has a dual air vent design (one for CPU and one for GPU) that efficiently eliminates heat and keeps noise to a minimum. Despite the powerful features and thin form factor, the unique venting system is able to effectively keep the notebook from overheating. It also boasts an automatic light sensing backlight keyboard. This excellent feature adjusts the light to external conditions and allows getting work done even under low light conditions.

The U2442 also provides an awesome audio and multimedia experience with a fantastic HD+ 1600x900 display and THX TruStudio Pro audio technology.
