    Hey, can you post these pictures again? It seems like these links are broken...

    Also, do you have any more information on this laptop? Any reviews or a release date? I'm very interested in buying this.

    What an awesome Ultrabook - I love it.

    Can't wait to see user reviews on it.

    It looks nice at first glance, features some very strong and good components..

    But it fails on every other aspect.. Build quality is very board, lots of keyboard flex, display is way too dark for a matte screen (180 cdm) and so on.. Of course this is only a "prototype", but very often changes are only minor, a new case and display would be major changes.. And the site also claims they are still debating if 768p/900 and if matte or glossy

    Also this notebooksite says, that gigabyte often announced notebooks at previous shows, but they never made it to the US or even EU market, I think there wasnt even a single notebook release in the EU from gigabyte yet..

    SO dont get your hopes up too high..
