World’s Smallest Laptop Runs Vista

This little laptop is the coolest thing you’ll see today. It is called the FlipStart and it’s coming soon to a drooling geek crowd near you. This looks like an advanced smartphone, but surprisingly enough it packs a heavy punch…allowing you to run a full install of Windows Vista along with virtually any software of your choice. It’s literally a laptop that fits in the palm of your hand (maybe I should call it a palmtop).

A small screen on the lid allows you to access frequently used information such as contacts. When you want the full power of Vista, just open up the lid and you have a full 5.6″ display, complete with a backlit QWERTY keyboard and touchpad mouse.
