Samsung claims lightweight crown for new laptop

Samsung has unveiled a new thin-and-light laptop aimed at mobile professionals, claimed by the vendor to be the lightest system available with a 13.3in screen.

Available from September, the Samsung X360 weighs 1.27kg, but is fully featured without any compromise, according to Samsung. It is based on Intel’s Centrino 2 mobile platform with 1GB to 4GB of memory and a choice of 120GB hard drive or Flash SSD storage up to 128GB. Prices have yet to be announced.

Samsung claimed a battery life of up to 10 hours continuous use from the X360’s 6-cell battery pack, while the 13.3in screen supports a resolution of 1280×800 and an LED backlight that delivers about 33 per cent extra brightness over other designs.
