Samsung X360 – MacAir Killer?
August 31st, 2008 Posted in Laptops/Notebooks
Samsung just announced their version of the Mac Air – but it’s even better and more powerful, and dare I say even a bit sexier. It’s not available in the US yet, but hopefully it won’t be long.
It’s got the same external DVD drive setup, but the battery life is spectacular (if it’s even 3/4 as good as the 10 hours they claim). It’s got a built in HDMI connector, bluetooth, built-in wi-fi, and a 128GB solid state “hard” drive. All that, and it weighs less than the Mac Air too.
I’m still not convinced of the benefit of making these laptops so slim – it’s much less of a pain in the butt to have the drive built in – I can deal with .25 inches if I don’t have to lug around additional accessories. But, would I take one – you bet I would.
