If you've got a hankering for some battery-sipping
Core i3 ULV processors and live south of a certain 38th parallel line, you'll probably want to take a close look at one of Samsung's new designs. We hear on good authority that Sammy's refreshed its
X Series laptops with the 1.2GHz Core i3-330M processor, including the 11.6-inch X180 (with the same 3GB of DDR3 memory, 320GB hard drive and most everything else included in the X170 that came before) and the 14-inch X430, which leapfrogs its predecessor the X420 with dedicated GeForce 310M graphics. Both actually report less battery life than their forbears, as the new laptops are rated closer to eight than nine hours, but in the X430 it's a small sum to pay to avoid integrated Intel video.
We're also hearing word of a AMD-powered 11.6-incher called the Samsung X125, which should be hitting Europe any minute now for €499 (roughly $647). It's got a 1.7GHz Athlon II Neo K125 chip, 3GB memory, ATI Radeon 4225 graphics, and a manufacturer-reported five hours of battery life, all of which honestly sounds
pretty unimpressive for the price. We know you can do better, Samsung. We believe.

Ill take em both...
and the laptops are optional.
@DeFlanko 100%
@DeFlanko: There are laptops in that picture?
@DeFlanko
Some how I knew that these comments will come up first rather than comments that actually have anything to do with the laptops
@zerverize: At this point I have yet to see one comment about the actual notebooks themselves
@216 I see a couple things I'd like to see on top of my lap
@zerverize
According to a scientific research, men are more generous with money when they see a good looking women. That's why we always see women in ads, because we men think with our lower parts. =]
@DeFlanko
I love this type of advertisement.
@DeFlanko
I dunno with all the makeup that the LG and Samsung models wear I always have a hard time working out whether we've reached the Uncanny Valley yet or they're actually real people . . . . .
@skyblaze The Turbo Boost just kick in?
@DeFlanko I fuckin LOOOVE hot asian chicks.
@DeFlanko
I swear I read the first page of comments and found not a single post that had anything related to the laptops...
oh men..we are doomed
@eternity0022
sounds like you need some libido enhancement, bro. maybe you've had a laptop warming your nads too much, eh?
@216
Why aren't there any Samsung retail stores?
They can have all my cash.
@DeFlanko Knowing how hard I'd work them, there is no way they would last five hours.
Samsung...thin and sexy
It's nice to see Samsung offering different colors, although I don't think the top matches the bottom.
Those webcams will be put to good use later.
@NikAmi
"Knowing how hard I'd work them, there is no way they would last five hours."
There's no way you'd last that long either.
Or are you referring to the laptops?
@DeFlanko
wait if all the comments on this page are about the girls then obviously women don't come to engadget. just shows you geeks dont get girls
@YB
The Samsung Experience Store in the Shops at Columbus Circle, NYC. Only Samsung-only store I've been in or heard of. Seeing all their AMOLED cell phones there makes them seem like a premier cell carrier. I think Samsung should become a telco company. Their stores will be as sexy as their phones if their current Samsung Experience store is their model.
Though, they should replace their salesmen with some of these ladies. Doesn't matter if they speak English... that just adds to the "Experience".
Clapping @DeFlanko
Song Jina on the right and Lee Ji Woo on the left ;)
Obligatory "do the models come with the laptop?"
@pple is poo
:O! samsung re-using their models!

@pple is poo She's clearly had plastic surgery though.
@tekdemon
I was thinking botox in those cheeks for sure.
@mrdavedave
They're recycling models, every company is "going green"....
The one on the left looks a bit too Pee-Wee Herman for my tastes.
Andddd hands up if you looked at the ladies before the laptops...
*Raises hand*
@Kizorblade guilty *Raises hand*
@Kizorblade Just where on earth are these laptops you guys are talking about? I can just see two great looking girls...
@Kizorblade
What laptops??
@Rd Vortex
Well, I read the title first, so I assume there are laptops in the picture... somewhere...
Hallo ladieeeez!
Samsung - more effective at getting me to check out their products than any other company.
Really c'mon who in their right mind will be looking at the laptops? They want the chicks!
I have to say that I still think that Korean girls are still some of the most beautiful women around. Man they are super cute. (Don't tell my wife) :-P
@jaminroe Just don't look at the plastic surgery stats.
@RampantNinja Yes I know I know... I have some friends that are from Korea, who've showed me and told me this. Even she got a nose job.
If comes with South Korean girls...but of course.
yet another "models wins over products" advertiser make their advertimests soo attractive now days that people don't even remember what they were selling.
Came in here expecting comments about girls.
Did not leave disappointed.
damn that laptop is twice as big as her head! ;P
Samsung should start putting their money in hostress club investment and name it "Samthong"
Those 2 can hold my laptop anytime !
I want the one on the right.
I'll take the one on the right, she can take the hardware.
well im thinking about taking one on the right :D

samung you have yet to fail me with the eye candy!!
What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.
