First this is being put in the market sometime around October.
There will be a 13" and 11" models to follow to compete with makers like Sony.
The Keys are Silver Plated so that bacteria does not spread when others are using it.

I know samsung make there washing machines run there water over a silver plate to kill bacteria but on a laptop.???]]>Aug 24th 2008 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 24th 2008 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 24th 2008 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 25th 2008 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 25th 2008 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/
Turkey is an odd selection nonetheless considering its semi-euro based tech sector and high import/luxury taxes which end up making alot of tech related gear REALLY expensive (also gas is like a 10bucks a gallon jesus f. christ) That being said there is a very large section of the public which is both endowed with such $$(or YTL) and also really enthusiastic about gadgets. It sorta makes sense..I guess?

Anyway on the topic of the laptops I have tried chicklet style keyboards and they aren't my kind of thing, the Powerbook G4 AL/MacBook Pro keyboard is my favorite all time mobile board but even that pales in comparrison to microsoft natural keyboard goodness.. but thats jsut me]]>Aug 25th 2008 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/due to fault in exhaust fan it often shutdown itself .
i have 2 years experience with this piece .
and not to mention too expensive also . i agree it looks sleek and sexy but whats the use if you cant use that ..

I'm a little disappointed to see the Sony X505 style keys on this new model because the keyboards on the current models have a great feel to them when typing, but I guess Samsung are pretty keen to emulate the sleekness of their other consumer electronics in their laptops. It's a pity that they aren't being a bit more daring and releasing more laptops like the Q30 and Q40, which seem like the kind of style that they need if they want to grab attention from all of the other laptops on the market.]]>Aug 25th 2008 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Piano black finish is scratch resistant
The model shown is X460 14" model. 2 kg weight.
X360 will be 1.1 kg and will have 10 hours of battery
prices will be announced mid october.

and for graham's comment. I think it's not about massive technological enterprice, it's about making money and with a very young population figures, Turkey would be a good test market.

Additionally, they say they are willing to compete with Vaio and since Vaio's are extremely expensive in Turkey, they have really good chance....]]>Aug 24th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 24th 2008 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Aug 25th 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/Keyboard copied from Sony.

some other things the guy said:

-the finish is scratch-resistant (woohoo! hopefully fingerprint resistant as well)
-price is not yet determined, as the configurations are not finalized
-there will be other screen sizes (13.1", 12"), like on model q 310. they will perform on par with this model

now; WHERE ARE MY BONUS POINTS!]]>Aug 25th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/24/samsungs-x360-and-x460-laptops-revealed-in-turkey/
Sorry that we were in a hurry and couldn't mention some details about products. Anyways Engadget's experienced editors handled the situation with care. And thanks to the readers about adding the details.

Launch was about Samsung entering Turkish notebook market. They were in Turkey for a long time with all other IT and non-IT products (I mean excavators and air conditioners :P) but no notebooks. So do not think they've actually launced these new products exclusively in/for Turkey. :) Two models will officially be revealed in October, as sources say.

Anyways, as we got some comparative information about pricing, X360 will be cheaper than competing products like Vaio Z and maybe Panasonic's Toughbook 12 inch notebooks if you compare the little one with battery life. Seems like, a fierce war is on the way.
