Samsung refreshes X Series laptop lineup with Core i3 ULV chips

While you\’ve got a hankering for some battery-sipping Core i3 ULV processors and live south of a definite 38th parallel line, you\’ll may want to take a detailed look into one of Samsung\’s new designs. We hear on good authority that Sammy\’s refreshed its X Series laptops with the 1.2GHz Core i3-330M processor, including the 11.6-inch X180 (with a similar 3GB of DDR3 memory, 320GB hard disk drive and most everything else included inside the X170 that came before) and the 14-inch X430, which leapfrogs its predecessor the X420 with dedicated GeForce 310M graphics. Both actually report less battery life than their forbears, as the hot laptops are rated towards eight than nine hours, but inside the X430 it\’s a small sum to pay to bypass integrated Intel video.

We\’re also hearing word of a AMD-powered 11.6-incher called the Samsung X125, which ought to be hitting Europe any minute now for €499 (roughly $647). It\’s got a 1.7GHz Athlon II Neo K125 chip, 3GB memory, ATI Radeon 4225 graphics, and a manufacturer-reported five hours of battery life, all of which honestly sounds pretty unimpressive for the worth. We know you’re able to do better, Samsung. We believe.
