OK, so the MacBook Air sounds pretty light, but here we have the Belinea s.book 1 from VIA Technologies and Maxdata that tips the scales at less than 1 kg. Released for the German market, it will be far from powerful compared to the MacBook Air, but the specifications sure sound ideal for day-to-day use such as checking email, Web browsing and playing Web-based games. Powered by a 1.2GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor, the Belinea s.book 1 is now available at qualified specialist dealers in Germany. They certainly look good for use in events such as CES where walking with a less compact laptop is a killer on one’s back. According to Slashgear, the Belinea s.book 1 would retail in the region of $1,200. Photo courtesy of Ployer.
