TagsNot a bad claim, especially as Samsung says it's the lightest notebook in the 13.3-inch class, weighing just 1.27kg.
"Unlike the claims of some other 'light' notebooks, the X360 is fully featured without compromise, including 3 USB ports, a built-in HDMI connection, a 34mm express card slot and VGA output," Samsung's press release says.
"For fast and easy transfer of documents, images, video or music it incorporates a highly flexible 7-in-1 memory card reader, Bluetooth 2.0+ Enhanced Data Rate and super-fast 802.11n wireless technology."
It is lacking an optical media drive, though, so those memory slots will come in handy.
It might be small, but it should keep you going even on a transatlatic flight, as Samsung claims the removable 6-cell battery offers up to 10 hours continuous use.
"Its efficient power consumption is supported by the use of Intel Centrino 2 Ultra Low Voltage processor technology and an innovative 13.3-inch WXGA 1280x800 LED screen, whose backlight technology consumes significantly less power, but delivers around 33 per cent improved brightness over a traditional LCD screen," the Samsung X360 love-in continues.
The X360 will be available from this month in European countries including UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, and also in Russia, China and Hong Kong.
There's no official price, but a number of online sources have estimated it between $1,500-$2,000.
