Samsung X360

The X360 is an ultra lightweight laptop from Samsung, targeted for the "aristocrats of the mobile world" and "results-driven professionals". With a 13.3" screen, and weighing only 2.8 pounds, the X360 is "uncompromised" compared to similar products from competing companies with 3 USB 2.0 ports and HDMI output. Based on Centrino 2, the X360 contains the latest ultra low voltage Intel Core 2 Duos, DDR3 RAM, X4200 Intel graphics and either SSD or HDD storage. With up to 10 hours of battery life, the Samsung is currently only matched by the Lenovo X301, surpassing the aging and less advanced Apple Macbook Air and Voodo 133. Models, prices, availability and system specifics have not been released.
