The X20 from Samsung is an outstanding mobile computing tool. Featuring Intel© Centrino™ Mobile Technology ensuring long battery life and wireless communications. Coupled to this is a high performance ATI Mobility Radeon X600 64MB PCI-Express graphics accelerator with Samsung’s latest SuperBright displays giving outstanding image quality and performance for the most demanding applications. For long business trips Samsung’s AV StationNow allows you to watch DVD movies or listen to audio without loading the operating system, further enhancing battery life. In addition Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) and Digital Natural Sound engine (DNSe) technology ensures stunning images and crystal clear audio. Communications is at the heart of Samsung notebook computers and with the latest Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 adapter offering 802.11a/b/g and Bluetooth wireless connectivity the X20 is the ultimate communications tool. Samsung has managed to squeeze all of this advanced technology into a surprisingly thin and light notebook, as you would expect from Samsung.
