Is there anything lighter than Air? Ask Samsung and for sure you will end up hearing a loud ‘YES,’ as the smart guys there have lately unveiled their latest creation of Samsung X360 laptop. Those having developed an addiction for the MacBook Air and share mixed feelings of just not in a position to withstand OS X can now welcome an ultra-light laptop from Samsung.

Measuring .66-inch-thin, the X360 laptop is exhibited at IFA fair in Berlin and claims to be 1.27 kg lighter than Apple’s Air version. Put it across Apple’s MacBook Air and its USPs become quite visible. The 13.3-inch laptop weighs mere 2.8 pounds and shines against the stint appeal of MacBook Air. It features three USB ports (against Air’s 1), a 7-in-1 card reader (against Air’s none), HDMI and Ethernet ports (not a mention on the Air), VGA input, and not to forget Wi-Fi and a high-quality 1.3-megapixel camera sound.

Targeted at business-group, the X360 sports a fingerprint reader and is developed using aluminium and magnesium alloy, the incredible source for Samsung flaunting the promotional jingle “lighter than air.” You may look forward to October for its release at an anticipated price of $2,000-plus, only if you reckon rumours.
