... Coffee brown and White colors. What I am really impressed with is the glittery surface that would have veiled specifications covered inside this ultra light (1 kg) notebook. Sans optical drive, this gadget is reported to be available in two price ranges: 32GB SSD (US$699) and 64GB SSD (US$899) only.
