It has a build somewhere in-between the plastic-ish Voodoo Envy 133 and the rock-solid ThinkPad X300, though probably closer to the latter, and the sheen of Silver Nano Technology on the technology saves us from bacteria but adds a slightly cheap flavor to the keyboard.
ENGADGET: Samsung X360 handled, fights MacBook Air to the death
Speaking of batteries, a new lithium-ion battery developed by USC utilizes nano-sphere technology to store three times more energy while cutting charge time down to just 10 minutes.

Altair Nanotechnologies is working with the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute and the University of Hawaii to supply a 2 megawatt energy storage system to maintain grid stability, all using its nano-scale processing technology that it says provides rapid charging.
FORBES: Nanotechnology: Expanding Clean Energy and Easing Fuel Shortages
Another kind of sensor technology, the nano bar code, is being developed by Nanoplex Technologies in California.
This, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the high-tech corridor to the west of Chicago, and Northwestern University in nearby Evanston, together attract scientists from all over the world and, it is hoped, will help make the city a centre for nano- and other kinds of technology.
While Nano-Tex's stain- and wrinkle-resistant technology, called NanoCare, has been the first out of the gate, its NanoFresh (wicks away odor from sports clothing) will not be far behind.
Consider the example of the Nano car developed by TATA motors which required multiple innovations in technology as well as cross-functional teams working on different engineering disciplines to come together to solve complex issues and provide solutions while at the same time meeting the targeted price point.
FORBES: Why a new 'avatar' of innovation is necessary in emerging economies
Now, Prof Bert de With of the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and his colleagues have discovered a nano-structure solution to the problem.
While there has always been a role for things mini - especially in technology where the concept is defined in terms of micro and nano - marketers and consumers alike have increasingly accelerated adoption of the trend.
Other competitors in the technology sector include: Rudolph Technologies (RTEC), Nanometrics Incorporated (NANO), and Nova Measuring Instruments (NVMI).
Tata will either reproduce that car or, more likely, install the MDI technology in one of its existing cars, such as its recently unveiled Nano.
Bendable screens could make technology more wearable (just think of what this could do for the iPod Nano).
The electronic nose is an array of nano-scale gas sensors--the maximized surface area of the nano-particles allows the most gas to pass over them--along with pattern recognition technology that can create a digital fingerprint (or noseprint, as the case may be) of specific smells.
Nano City came about after a chance meeting between Bhatia and Pradeep Chaudhery, principal secretary for industry and information technology in the Haryana government.
