Engadget reports Toshiba is said to be working on world's lightest 13" laptop. The system reportedly weighs less than 1kg with a solid state disk and features a fast-charging SCiB (Super Charged ion Battery). The system is said to be available soon, with Core i3/i5/i7 processors, 4GB DDR3 memory, and a 500GB HDD or 512GB SSD.
Besides sporting a 16:9 aspect ratio, USB 3.0 dock, and standard voltage CPU (a Core i5 is teased), this slim lappie features a 2nd SCiB (Super Charged ion Battery) power source that we've seen charging to 90% in just 10 minutes in prototypes from way back in 2008.
