Samsung unveils X360 ultraportable
Samsung has revealed its latest addition to its laptop range, the X360, which the company is touting as being “lighter than air and fully featured” – clearly a reference to Apple’s MacBook Air. Weighing in at 2.8 pounds, this laptop sports a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display and unsurprisingly lacks a built-in optical drive.
Other than that, the X360 doesn't seem to compromise terribly on what’s inside, with a Centrino 2 ULV processor, up to 4GB of RAM, six-cell battery, and you can go with a traditional 120GB hard drive or opt for either a 64GB or 128GB solid state disk. You also get three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, a 7-in-1 card reader, Ethernet port, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam.
Samsung says the X360 will be available next month in Europe, but they’re keeping mum about price and U.S. release date.

EVERYBODY is gonnna first think, "WTF Samsung made a portable 360??!?!???? ... That was EXACTLY what i thought at first - that Samsung had somehow squeezed an Xbox 360 into a portable form factor. I was ready to bust out the Visa!!

It does look like a quite pretty laptop, though. |

No CD/DVD drive is just bizarre/dumb. |
