Sony Unveils Carbon Fibre Vaio X
Hopefully this thing will be as beautiful inside as it is outside.
At IFA 2009 in Berlin, Sony unveiled the amazingly sexy Vaio X ultra portable that has an 11.1-inch screen, features an 'all-day' battery, weighs just 1.5 lbs and is just half an inch (14 mm) thick. Perhaps making it all the more attractive is that its casing is built from carbon fibre.
Check out the video from Netbooknews:
Vaio X First Look
As much as we love it from the outside, the Vaio X's internals are still very much a mystery. There's strong indication right now that it's an Atom processor inside – and even if it'll be the based on the upcoming Pine Trail platform, it's a little unpowered for how great rest of the design looks.
Stay tuned for more as we hear about it.

Did anybody notice how much that thing bent when she was opening it!
yeah carbon is an awsome materials but, this can't be good for the screen with constant strain being applied every time you open or close.
Need to wait for the specs.
Doesn't the Voodoo Envy 133 solve the carbon fibre bending issue by having a magnesium allow chassis?
Carbon fibre isn't a structural material, it's a skinning and shelling material, so surely you'd need something more rigid inside to stop bending and twisting the mobo and screen.
