Samsung X520


The Samsung X520 is a great option if you are trying to decide which laptop is the best portable machine for you. It is an addition to the existing X range of ultra-portable machines. They even managed to produce a machine lighter than the MacBook Air.

The X520 comes with a 15″ screen which is not the norm for machines considered to be ultra-portable. It also has a 16:9 widescreen making it a pleasure to watch films on. The keyboard even includes a number pad alongside the full size panel.

While its not the lightest machine in the ultra-portable category, it still only weighs 2kg which is actually about 1kg lighter than most similar sized machines.

It ticks a lot of boxes for the business traveller such as a whopping 8 hours battery life from one charge. It also has a number of expansion ports including USB, HDMI, VGA and SD Card

The real trump card though is the fact that they managed to include a DVD re-writer into the machine. This alongside a 4GB RAM and 500GB hard disk make it a seriously high spec business traveller machine.

The X520 is a lightweight, powerful machine which an excellent sized screen. It features all the key attributes of the ultra-portable laptop alongside a large screen and DVD player. This should definitely be on the shortlist of anyone deciding which laptop to buy.
