Why it’s cool: The 13.3-inch, second-generation Series 9 barely tips the scales at 2.5 pounds and measures just a half-inch thick. Stepping up to the 15-inch model only adds an extra pound, which is still insanely light for a 15-inch notebook. Both models feature 1600×900-resolution screens; a huge upgrade over the 1366×768 screens found in last year’s line.
Notable specs: Weighs 2.5 pounds (13-inch version); measures half an inch thick; 1600×900 screen.
Availability: February, starting at $1399.
