Samsung unveils the X360 ultraportable notebook

Samsung intros the X360 ultraportable notebook

Today, Samsung has officially unveiled their once rumored ultraportable X360 notebook. Judging from the specs, the X360 should be a decent around town or traveling notebook with its light weight of just 2.8-pounds. Not to mention its slim design which measures in anywhere from as thin as 0.66-inches up to a still thin 1.2-inches at its thickest point.

In addition, the specs are seemingly just as nice, the X360 will be powered by a Centrino 2 ULV processor and will feature a 13.3-inch display with a 1280 x 800 resolution. Other features include a standard 1GB of RAM that is upgradable to 4GB, your choice of a 64 or 128GB SSD or a standard 120GB hard drive. The X360 also offers a 1.3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR, an ExpressCard slot, three USB ports, HDMI, VGA-out and a 7-in-1 card reader. One item that is missing, but also comes as little surprise is that the X360 does not offer any optical drive.

As for power, according to the release announcement, the X360 will offer anywhere from 6 to 10 hours of battery life, however its likely to believe that the 10 hours of battery life may add some extra weight to that 2.8-pounds. All in all the X360 sounds pretty good, however Samsung has not yet announced any pricing or availability.
