The excellent battery life can't make up for a lack of performance and a relatively high price

Samsung X420 review

 

Samsung's X420 is slim, light and relatively inexpensive, but it's far from perfect.

Go back a few years, and finding an ultraportable for £496 exc VAT would have caused a stampede. Now, however, with CULV-equipped laptops popping up all over the place, there's a huge amount of competition, and Samsung's X420 just isn't worthy of your...

Samsung bumped up their X-series of ultra portable notebooks with a new addition recently. Do stick around if you'd like to find out about the 14-inch X420 and why we think it's a winner. We aren't making any references to Coldplay by the way.

Samsung X420

 

relatively light weight (although the one you see in the shop is minus the battery pack - which makes all the difference). Good battery life though. Like having an external DVD drive supplied with it, as I don't usually carry that around.

Samsung X420

 

For those who think a netbook is too small and a laptop too big, this is a good compromise. Big enough to work on documents and small enough to be portable. Good battery life. Easy to use.
