VAIO X from Sony and the $810 Nokia Booklet 3G and now its

It seems to be raining ultraportables nowadays. Yesterday it was the
VAIO X from Sony and the $810 Nokia Booklet 3G and now its time for
Samsung and their new X series of super-slim laptops all running on
Intel's increasingly popular Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV)
processors . These processors are cheap, power-efficient and light
allowing Samsung to build them no thicker than one inch and weighing up
to 4 pounds.

The X Series line consists of a trio of fairly ordinarily laptops (at a
first glance), the X420 with a 14-inch screen, the X520 with a 14.6 inch
screen and the X120 with a 11.6 inch screen. The first two come with a
6-cell batteries and are claimed to have up to 9 hours of battery life
(or 6 hours of movie playback) while the X120 has a 4-cell battery, but
more interestingly they all feature a scratch-resistant UV coating and a
nice glossy finish.
Details about the specs are still sketchy other than the fact that they
will run on the CULV processors and that they will have the fairly
standard WiFi, Bluetooth, card reader, and HDMI plug. All the 3 models
will come preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium and will also
qualify for a free Windows 7 upgrade for when it becomes available on
October 22.

Release date for the X120 is set for September and the price is rumored
close to 480GBP , while the X520 and X420 will hit the stores in
October, at prices that are yet to be announced.
