Samsung X360 could it beat Apple’s MacBook Air?

As fashion models try to squeeze down to a size zero, the computer giants are also joining in the craze, Samsung have announced their new ultra-thin laptop and hopes to push Apple and HP off the top slot of the world thinnest laptops.

It seems everyone is at it, slimming down was hot news with the television manufacturers as well. But Samsung stole the limelight by unveiling the X360 it the IFA in Berlin, the X360 is not to be mistaken for the Lenovo’s X300 range. The Samsung X360 model weighs in at just 1.27kg, which is a lighter than the Apple MacBook Air which weighs in at 1.36kg, plus the X360 has a 13.3 inch screen.

Not only does this mean machine look and feel fantastic, the X360 is reported to have 3 USB ports, a 34mm express card slot, a built-in HDMI connection and VGA output.

If we take a look inside the X360 we find an Intel Centrino 2 processor, 128GB Solid State Drive (SSD), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, 02.11a/b/g/n wireless connectivity and a integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, not forgetting the Ethernet socket and 7-in-1 memory card reader.

Samsung tell us that the X360 is capable of lasting 6-10 hours on a single charge, when we asked when we can get our mitts on one of these, they told us that it’s expected to be from September, unfortunately price was not available, as always we will post this information when we get it.
