Gigabyte shows off thin-and-light Booktop M1305 and super slim Myou netbook

Apparently people are really falling hard for this whole "thin" fad, and Gigabyte's design department is the latest victim. The new Booktop M1305 (pictured) sports a CULV Intel processor and a 13.3-inch screen, putting it squarely in the land of MacBook Air and ThinkPad X300-style thin-and-lights, while also managing a disc drive and room for up to 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the new Myou netbook is actually Gigabyte's ThinNote S1024, which weighs under two pounds, measures less than an inch thick, and still leaves room for a 10-inch screen and 6 cell battery. It should be shipping in the next few months for an estimated $600 pricetag. Video of the surprisingly excellent form factor is after the break.

Myou? Looks like they got their inspiration from Pokemon.

It must be an alternate spelling of Meow. Light and agile like a Cat.

I'd consider the whatever-the-heck-the-form-factor-is-named-today if the screen wasn't high gloss. What the fuck, do any of the manufacturers realize or care that a glossy screen sucks for your eyes and is unusable except in complete darkness? I'm dealing with that now on an Asus, and yes, I already applied a non-reflective screen protector.

OK, so we've got net-book, net-top, smart-book, book-top and the good old lap-top.

WTF Engadget?!?!

Word play is fine, but using it to describe every other product is disturbing.

Don't forget the newest one, thin-and-lights. WTF indeed.
