Say hello to the Samsung X360.

The X360 is Samsung’s latest addition to their laptop lineup. While it may be slightly larger than other standard mini netbooks, its features pack a punch. It will have a 13.3 inch display, upto 4GB of RAM, Centrino 2 Ultra Low Voltage CPU with 3 USB ports, wifi, 1.3 mega pixel camera, card reader (7 in 1) as well as bluetooth. You’ll also find a HDMI and VGA port on the X360. Storage wise they’ll be several options to choose from, 64GB SSD, 128GB SSD or a 120GB hard drive.

The X360 will have the above features, making it a strong rival to many mini netbooks. The X360 looks like it could also be a strong competitor to the MacBook Air. While it’s slightly thicker than a MacBook Air at 0.66 inches, it will weigh in at only 1.27kg making it lighter than the MacBook Air.

These features come with a cost though and gives the X360 not such a mini price. The estimated retail price is between $2,200 and $2900.
