Though Panasonic's Let's Note laptops are only sold in Japan, it's nice to know how the other half lives, isn't it? The company just updated three models in the lineup, including the 12.1-inch SX and NX models, along with the flagship 14-inch LX. Panasonic claims the LX is now the world's lightest 14-inch model at 1.14kg (about 2.5 pounds), provided it's equipped with a 256GB SSD and lightweight batteries. Despite that, it manages to pack an Intel Core-i7 CPU, a 1,600 x 900 display, 4GB of RAM, and an 11-hour battery into the boxy case. The 12.1-inch SX and NX models are similarly spec'd, but have a Core-i5 processor option, as well (the NX can only be had with a Core-i5). Those models will power along for 15 hours with the lightest batteries, and also tip the scales around 2.5 pounds. That's not bad, but still far from the 1.9 pound. 13-inch Inhon Blade carbon -- and let's not even discuss thinness. Pricing and availability have yet to be disclosed.
