Best laptop I have ever owned!


I was on the verge of buying Sony's V505CP VAIO Notebook, when I glanced over and saw this awesome, brushed aluminium, thin notebook. I immediately presumed it had no internal drives because it was too thin to ever hold anything other than a basic notebook. BOY, WAS I WRONG!!

I decided not to purchase anything but instead came home and compared prices and specs. Long story short, it has everything you could ever want in a laptop including Sony's Memory Stick media (which was the reason I originally wanted a Sony machine). Someone on this site said it doesn't have a floppy drive!! Which good & modern laptops do? A USB floppy drive is cheap and convenient. The X05 is super fast, quiet, light, stylish, reliable and I say Samsung deserves more credit & exposure for this magnificent product.

I got PC World to price match to Micro Anvika and got it for £1099.98 inc. VAT and it is THE VERY BEST LAPTOP I HAVE EVER USED!

Verdict

This is an excellent notebook. If anything, the cheaper XTC 1400 model offers even better value, but in either case you get plenty for your money.
