With the X460-44P Samsung does more than just cram an ultrabright 14.1-inch display and an optical drive into a remarkably thin chassis. This machine exudes style like no other notebook in its class, which is not all that surprising given that Samsung has been producing envy-enducing laptops for several years overseas.
The X460-44P ($1,699) backs up its good looks with solid graphics performance and above-average battery life, plus security features, such as a built-in fingerprint reader and TPM authentification. Some may prefer the even thinner and lighter 13-inch Samsung X360, which offers a solid state drive but no optical drive. But we prefer this more reasonably-priced status symbol because the X460-44P offers a bigger screen and discrete graphics while remaining easy to carry.

For years, Samsung has made laptops for pretty much every laptop-consuming corner of the globe except the U.S (an arrangement that’s never particularly bothered us). The Q1 Ultra UMPC is as close as Samsung has come to selling a laptop here, but in the fall of 2008, the company decided to take on the challenging American market. One standout product from the initial lineup is the X460, a slim 14-inch laptop with a unique look.

Less than 1 inch thick at its thinnest point, the Samsung X460 is incredibly slim, and is even lighter by a few ounces than the current 13-inch MacBook. The chassis is a mix of glossy and matte black plastic, except for the lid, two-thirds of which is covered by a panel of red-tinted brushed aluminum. It’s certainly a distinctive look, but if glossy black and metallic red doesn’t float your boat, there’s nothing you can do about it. The X460 is a one-size-fits-all fixed configuration.

Resolution aside, this is a very good screen, which is especially impressive considering that this isn’t a retail sample. As is usually the case with Samsung notebooks, the screen has a high contrast, glossy finish. As a result, the colours are very vibrant and blacks are deep, so anyone who likes to watch movies on their notebook while stuck in a hotel room won’t be disappointed. There’s also little evidence of the backlight bleed that often plagues bright notebook screens, especially LED backlight models like this one. Viewing angles are also very impressive for a glossy screen, and although reflections can be an issue in environments with strong directional light sources, I didn’t have any problems seeing the screen. Mounted above the screen is a 1.3-megapixel webcam, which is good news for anyone who likes to make video calls from their notebook.

The full-size keyboard, which is full-size, is similar to the keyboards found on the aluminum MacBook and the Sony Z590. There’s more than adequate spacing between the keys, but the keys themselves are smaller than traditional ones, at 1.6cm by 1.6cm versus the traditional 1.9cm by 1.9cm. (The MacBook’s keys are roughly the same size as the X460’s, while the Z590’s are even smaller—1.4cm by 1.4cm.) It takes a little time to get used to this keyboard if you are transitioning from a traditional one, but I found the overall typing experience pleasant. The touchpad was responsive; the mouse buttons weren’t too resistant, and their clicks are too faint to annoy the person sitting next to you.

The 14.1-inch-diagonal backlit LED screen on the X460 is amazingly bright. Good and colorful, without blasting out saturation, the screen is extremely easy on the eyes. In fact, you can see the display in just about any lighting condition, outdoors or in. That’s no small feat considering that I can clearly make out my five o’clock shadow on its glossy surface, and that reflection doesn’t bother me at all. Even intentionally aiming the panel at direct sunlight doesn’t beam the brightness back into my face. As for the 1280-by-800-pixel resolution, I could wish that it was capable of going higher, but the truth is, you won’t go counting numbers here, since the image quality is so good.

This swanky machine has a velvety black and crimson styling befitting a smoking jacket, so it’ll go well with yours — and looks good in the study sitting on your virgin teak and gorilla-skin laptop table. Its 2.26-GHz Core 2 Duo is speedy and its 320-GB drive roomy, so you’ll have no problem editing your photos or video from your latest safari or night out with Clooney and Pitt. The Nvidia GeForce 9200M GS offers pleasing game performance, especially for a borderline ultralight. The keyboard is reminiscent of the MacBook Air’s, and it’s quite solid and comfortable, so you needn’t worry about the RSI that often afflicts the working class. And the card reader can accommodate not only SD but also Memory Stick and xD, so you use the cards directly from your Canon, Sony or Olympus — no cables are necessary (not that you can’t afford a cable).
