The touchpad, which supports multitouch gestures such as pinch-and-zoom, was decently sized, and had very low friction. The mouse buttons, too, were a good size, and required almost no effort to press. Like the keys, they, too, were very quiet.

Fantastic battery life ; Bright, easily viewable screen

Pretty, but pricey

Samsung's X360 certainly doesn't come cheap. But with the 128GB SSD drive on board, you wouldn't expect it to be a huge bargain. Overall it's a solid machine for indoor and outdoor use. Lenovo's X200 now finds itself facing much stiffer competition

In recent months, Samsung has been lying low in the U.S. notebook market. But its new X360 is an interesting contender among ultraportable models--sleek enough to take on the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 or even the ThinkPad X200. Though its sex appeal can't ...

Lightweight design ; excellent battery life ; 128GB SSD

Uncomfortable keyboard ; slow processor ; poor graphics

The X360's lethargic processor and graphics won't appeal to all and we're not huge fans of the keyboard, but the laptop benefits from excellent battery life, a 128GB SSD and a truly lightweight design. If you don't throw too much at it, Samsung's ...
