Samsung X1

Samsung’s notebooks are generally impressive, but the X1 takes things a step further. With its ultra-thin design and fabulous wide-aspect 14in. screen, this sub-2kg notebook is right at the cutting edge in terms of design and portability. It performs creditably and has good battery life, particularly with the optional extended battery, making it an excellent option for mobile professionals seeking a stylish travelling companion with good multimedia features for those off-duty moments.
