CNET: The skinny on super-slim laptops Slim laptops have been trendy before, from the original MacBook Air to the now-forgotten ultrabook movement. But unique to 2016 is a new generation of systems that combine thinner-than-ever designs with powerful components, high-resolution screens, and prices that hit a very achievable mainstream sweet spot. Much of this is thanks to smaller, more efficient components, especially sixth-generation Core i-series processors from Intel, as well as the companys second generation of Core M chips, the latter of which are able to run in upscale fanless designs while still powering everyday apps from word processors to web browsers, as well as high-definition video streaming services and even mainstream games. Note that this roundup only includes clamshell laptops, not Windows tablets with clip-on keyboard covers and docks -- those can get down to well under 10mm, but only when you exclude the keyboard add-ons entirely.
