The Samsung X360 is pretty impressive.
Its size and weight (very light and very thin) and is ready to taunt the MacBook Air.
It has a 13.3-inch, 1200 x 800 pixel screen and by all reports is also very good.
It’s also all ported up, more so than Apple’s notebook: direct HDMI out, three USB ports, Express Card slot, 7-in-1 flash card reader, external optical unit included, and fingerprint reader for security.
For Windows users the Samsung X360 looks like a great choice but Apple fanboys will argue that a revision of the MacBook Air is just around the corner and that the Sammy wont play OS X.
For me though on the surface of it all the winner is the Samsung X360.
The only drawback for me is the lack of colour choices – you get the usual ‘Piano Black’ but even for an ardent fan of black such as me – it would be nice to have a choice.
Sammy aint pulling any punches either as it’s being branded it as “lighter than air” and say it’s the “lightest notebook in its 13.3 inch class” since it weighs just 1.27 kg.
Under the hood there’s a 45nm Core 2 Duo mobile processor and it comes with an external DVD drive.
The battery life is claimed to be 10 hours, by Samsung.
It’ll be available in September in some European countries, and Russia, China and Hong Kong, but there’s no info on the US release or pricing.
