Samsung X360 ultra-light laptop is awesome

This small X360 laptop from Samsung is going to spark quite a frenzy. IT is in the same ultra-light category than the Macbook Air, but it has plenty of connectors and ports : 3xUSB, 1xHDMI, 1xVGA. Of course, with this thinness it does not have an optical drive. Customers can choose to use a 120GB HDD or a 64/128GB SSD depending on their budget. I would go for the HDD, unless I had a vibration/shock constraint. Overall, it is much more attractive to me than the Macbook Air. There is no availability or pricing information yet.
