Samsung X60 Dual Core Notebook

BIOS Magazine takes a look at the new X60, a dual core “Yonah” based laptop.

Samsung has joined the dual core laptop party. The X60 (£899 ex. VAT) and R65 (£999 ex. VAT) both feature Intel’s new dual core processors (codenamed Yonah) and are pitched at home users.

Key features of the X60 include a weight of 2.4kg, 15.4-inch SuperClear display featuring Samsung’s exclusive Digital Natural Image Enhancement (DNIE) for ‘outstanding’ image quality, as well as embedded PCI-Express Gigabit LAN solution, guaranteeing a stable network connection without the use of a PCI device.

‘Laptop users increasingly demand powerful but stylish products that combine the functionality of a desktop PC with the portability of a laptop,’ said Mark Jennings, Notebook Marketing Manager at Samsung Electronics UK. ‘The inclusion of Intel’s recently launched dual core processor in these two laptop enables Samsung to meet this demand and offer more computing power, increased battery life and complete connectivity, without compromising design and portability.’

I am so excited about the new Yonah based notebooks to see what they can do in the real world. Hopefully, as many manufacturers create machines with these processors, we can get some decent benchmarks in on how much better they are than the previous generation.
