Seoul, South Korea, September 23, 2008 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a market leader in consumer electronics and world leader in IT technology, today raised the bar in mobile computing by announcing the ultra-lightweight Samsung X460, an innovative addition to its expanding notebook range. Following the launch of the 'Lighter than Air' Samsung X360, the X460 promises to pack a sleek, light notebook with even more functionality, allowing notebook users to go further, do more, and at the same time looking great.

Light, but fully featured
Designed to meet the demanding ‘anytime, anywhere’ performance and connectivity requirements of today’s new generation of agile users, the X460 sets a completely new standard in mobile computing – offering a comprehensive set of features in a slim, lightweight package superior to anything else on the market. Incorporating the all new Intel Centrino 2 processor technology, the X460 delivers revolutionary mobile performance, extended wireless mobility for immersed connectivity and enhanced power-saving features that improve battery life to keep you working longer.

Add to this a high performance nVIDIA GeForce Go 9200M GS graphics card and an integrated optical disk drive, and the X460 continues Samsungs emergence as a leading producer of feature packed ultra mobile notebooks. Despite being one of the lightest notebook in its 14.1" class, weighing a mere 1.9 kg, the Samsung X460 still manages to fuse extensive functionality and performance with class leading design.

Exceptional visual performance
The X460’s power consumption is optimized even further through the use of an innovative 14.1" Flat-LED WXGA (1280 x 800) Gloss screen, which consumes significantly less energy. However, the screen doesn’t let you down when you’re on the move, being thinner and generating around 33% more brightness than traditional LCD screens, making it easier to work outdoors. You can also enjoy photo-like image quality, greater viewing angles and better text legibility, reducing eye strain and increasing productivity.

Strength and reliability
With captivating craftsmanship, the X460’s Protect-o-Edge magnesium alloy casing provides remarkable strength and superior reliability, coupled with enhanced ergonomics and premium styling. In addition, the brushed aluminum plate on the back of the screen provides extra durability and is available in a choice of stylish colors. What’s more, Samsung uses its own components, including memory, batteries and screens wherever possible, meaning there’s no need to worry about the quality of external add-ins. This focus on manufacturing excellence means Samsung mobile computers has one of the best reliability records in the industry, delivering a very low total cost ownership for both business and consumer users.

Simplified communication
For easy transferring of documents, images, video and music the X460 incorporates a highly flexible 7-in-1 memory card reader, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) and an ultra slim internal optical drive. It also boasts an integrated digital motion camera, making it easy to stay in touch with colleagues or friends using video-conferencing or live messaging. For business and home office users, the X460 incorporates a 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN connection, modem and support for the Samsung P-Dock docking station, simplifying cabling and providing a ‘single click’ connection and easy access to a wide variety of ports.

Extended mobility
For maximum productivity on the move, the X460 incorporates a removable 6-cell battery as standard that provides up to 5 hours of continuous use – ensuring maximum freedom and making mobile computing a more practical proposition. There is also an option for an extended 9 cell battery that promises up to 7.5 hours of performance.

Anti-bacterial keyboard
The X460 features an outstanding Samsung innovation - Silver Nano Technology. The keyboard is coated with incredibly small, nano-sized silver ion powder, which makes it impossible for bacteria to live and breed. So, 99.9% of all bacteria are successfully eliminated within 24 hours and the X460 remains anti-bacterial, creating a more hygienic personal computing environment.

Added peace of mind
Finally, with security at a premium, the X460 also has a secure biometric fingerprint and trusted platform module (TPM) authentication system to ensure data is always fully protected.

"The X460’s ultra-portability brings a new freedom to the market, without compromising on usability. Quite simply, by providing great performance wrapped up in a stunning design you can go further, do more and at the same time look great," said Executive Vice President HS Kim, who leads Samsung’s Computer System Division. "We knew we had to create an outstanding product to live up to the excitement generated by the X360, and I believe we have done that with the X460. The lightweight, sleek form and unsurpassed functionality gives users have everything they need for life on the move," he added.

The X460 will be available from October this year in European countries UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Netherlands, and also Russia, China, Honkong, Turkey and Korea.
