The 14-inch Project AeroBlade concept laptop is less than 10mm thick and weighs under 1.8 pounds / 830g. For reference, recent ThinkPad X1 Carbons are around 14mm at their thickest and weigh about 1kg / 2.2 pounds.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@verge/video/7681345189092265230" data-video-id="7681345189092265230" data-embed-from="oembed"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@verge" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@verge?refer=embed">@verge</a> <p>The 14-inch Project AeroBlade concept laptop uses solid-state cooling instead of traditional fans, making it incredibly thin and super light.
