In late August Samsung announced that they were launching the X360 laptop. Around the same time, I was starting to think it was time to replace my long serving (two years old with me is about 6 years for normal people) Dell, for something a little quicker along with an improved battery life.
Over a month later I was able to place a pre order for one and opted for the 3GB ram, 128GB SSD drive model. I waited somewhat impatiently for the email to say it had shipped. Alas, no email came and every time I called the estimated shipping date had slipped another week. It was starting to seem that this supposed laptop was so good it actually didn’t exist.
Well shitty link tried to deliver the laptop last Friday and I was finally able to get my hands on it today. The time between ordering the laptop and it being delivered was such that I had actually moved my office and so the courier had tried to deliver it to a now vacant office!
I went to the deopt today, picked up the package and then waited patiently for the entire train journey home before opening everything up.
I am still loading various bits of software onto it, but all I can say so far is ‘wow’.
A more thorough review shall follow in due course, once I’ve loaded the 3GB+ of email I have onto it.
meh, I hate laptops at the moment, but I hope yours is awesome!
that’s the worst thing about getting a new lappy / computer…loading evvveerryytthing onto it. Why can’t they just come fired up and ready to go!
Ignoring your techtalk – I love getting new gadgets/laptops! I bet you’ve not put it down yet…
I would have thought that spec would do you nicely, as an application platform it sounds quite well balanced.
