Samsung X360

After a not so successful attempt a few years ago, Samsung has launched its

new range of laptops again. The one which we got for review, the X360 as it's

called is a top of the line ultra slim laptop packed with a number of features.

And if you liked laptops like the Macbook Air, this will certainly excite you.

Weighing only 1.2Kg and even after being just 30.9mm thick at its thickest

part, the notebook has a very sturdy feel to it. Though super compact, using it

is a delight thanks to the intelligently designed keyboard and touch pad. The

notebook has a 13.3” LED display powered by the new low power mobile platform

from Intel, the Centrino 2 which helps it deliver a great battery backup. On

running the Battery Mark 04 benchmark it lived for 5 hours and 43 minutes on

full brightness, now that's jaw dropping. The device comes preloaded with

Windows Vista and gives a 3.4 Windows experience index allowing for a smooth

Aero experience. On testing it further we got a score of 431 3D Marks on 3DMark

06 and 2811 PC Marks on PCMark05 which are decent considering it doesn't have

dedicated onboard graphics.

Bottomline: A high end fashionable ultra slim notebook with the right

mix of everything, but expensive.
