Samsung's newest notebook PC is not only slimmer than its previous Q-series, but it also boasts more multimedia functions.
The X1, described as a thumb-width notebook computer, is a mere 2cm thick, making it one of the slimmest models on the market today.
The X1 is thin, but Samsung has made a few compromises in terms of features.
Unlike other ultra-portables that require an external CD drive or a docking station, the X1 comes equipped with a top-loading DVD drive, which sits between the keyboard and the display.
The design looks impressive, but it pushes the keyboard to the bottom edge of the notebook, which might make it uncomfortable for some users, since it offers no place to rest your palms as you type.
Also, the design forces Samsung to remove the touch pad that acts as the mouse for most notebooks on the market today.
Instead, Samsung offers a trackball-like sensor as a mouse.
