For example, Gigabyte Technology has just introduced its new 14-inch Booktop M2432 notebook.

According to Shane McGlaun over at slashgear.com, the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook – the follow up to the Booktop M1405 – is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost 2.0 for extra power (when needed), and comes with a 14-inch, LED-backlit screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768.

The M2432, which measures 27.6mm and weighs 1.81kg, also comes with a USB 3.0 port, a chiclet design keyboard, a multi-touch trackpad, THX TruStudio Pro, an integrated HD 3000 GPU that supports HD video and a slim optical drive inside a FlexiBay.

However, one of the coolest features of the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook is the included docking station, which comes with a built in NVIDIA GT 440 GPU with 1GB of DDR5 RAM, six USB ports, D-Sub, DVI and HDMI out. Users also have the ability to connect it up to 2 external monitors.

Unfortunately there has been no word on pricing or availability at this stage, but we’ll keep you updated if we do hear anything. Do you like the sound of the Gigabyte Booktop M2432 notebook?
