Slim is in! And this goes not only for those who are currently searching for the best diet aids to lose weight, it also means a lot to those who want portability and power when it comes to their netbooks and laptops.

Yup, the trend is pushing towards slimmer and lighter portable laptops and netbooks. “I think what netbooks have done is really opened consumers’ eyes to the concept of mobility,” said Toshiba Corp. director of product marketing Philip Osako.

I bet a lot of fresh graduates and tech experts are seeking employment opportunities in these companies.
