OOPS: Samsung outs unannounced Intel processor

The last time I talked about a Samsung notebook it was a massive 17-inch machine with subwoofers and the whole works. I'll admit that as cool as all the features were, the beast was hardly a true portable notebook. Samsung has come back and outed some new and thin notebook in its X series line called the X420, X520, and X120. The machines have 14-inch, 14.6-inch, and 11.6-inch screens respectively.



The trio are all under an inch thick and go up to about 4.4 pounds. The machines are shod in a glossy finish that Samsung is touting as scratch resistant. That is a nice feature for a machine this shiny; everyone knows how bad shiny plastic looks after a few months of normal use with all the scratches that end up on a notebook.

Inside the machine is some sort of unannounced Intel CULV processor, which is why Samsung's all mum on the details at this point. What we do know feature wise is that the machine has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a card reader, and HDMI out. Samsung also makes some impressive battery life claims if up to nine hours with the 6-cell battery. Prices for the line run from 699 to 899 Euro ($AUD1192 - $1533) and the machines are set to hit Europe and Asia this month.
