It might not be able to float, but Samsung can get away with claiming its new X360 laptop is lighter than "Air." MacBook Air, that is. At a scant 2.8 pounds, the X360 weighs a smidgen less than Apple's MacBook Air, while also touting a slightly larger screen at 13.3-inches (compared to 12.8-inches). With regards to body fat, the X360 measures 0.66-inches thick on the low end, and 1.2-inches on the fatter end.
Samsung's new ultraportable is based on a Centrino 2 ULV processor with 1GB RAM standard (upgradable to 4GB). For storage duties, buyers can choose between a 5400RPM 120GB hard drive, or a 64GB or 128GB SSD. Visuals are handled with the X4500 integrated graphics allowing the screen to run at 1280x800. Other features include:
Noticeably missing is an optical drive. Samsung says battery life will be in the vicinity of 6 to 10 hours. No word yet on price or availability.

Any possibility of getting more pictures? From the quick image, it looks so sexy!
What about word on price? I might be tempted to sell my 17" Toshiba Satellite and pick up this little jem. Install Ubuntu on it, and I'd be happier than a pig in mud!

HDMI/VGA inputs?? either that's a typo or we're FINALLY gonna have the capability to run a laptop's screen as an ad-hoc 2nd display for a desktop or other laptop (now wouldn't THAT be cool!)

Haha, yeah, it does. At first, I thought of the X300 from Lenovo, but then now that you say it, it reminds me of something with a BOX in it.
