Let’s just get the answer out of the way: Not really. Apple‘s MacBook Air is the ultra-modern min­i­mal­ist art piece. Samsung‘s X360 does have some nice design ele­ments such as the brushed alu­minum cover and piano black fin­ish all around. But design wise, it is a bit of a com­pli­cated one with dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als and result­ing tex­tures. The 13.3″ TFT LCD sports a 1280 x 800 pixel for­mat and is lit by a LED back­light. As you can see from the pic­ture, every­thing is glossy and results in quite a bit of reflec­tion. Of course, if you’re sit­ting right in front of it, reflec­tions are minimized.The key­board design is ho-hum and not even as sexy as Sony‘s Z or FW series let alone the MacBook Air. From the pic­tures, the X360 looks like it was designed with the best of inten­tions but maybe there were too many inten­tions as it does not look quite in the realm of sexy. So in terms of design the X360 is no match for the MacBook Air. In terms of util­ity, which is a com­plete dif­fer­ent story, almost any other 13.3″-class note­book PC will be bet­ter than the MacBook Air.

There is an abun­dance of ports for the X360 includ­ing HDMI out, in addi­tion to VGA. The X360 beats out the Air in stor­age cat­e­gory with the option of a big­ger 128GB SSD or a faster and larger 5400RPM 120GB HD. Like the Air, there is no inte­grated opti­cal drive, but there is a dock­ing port where I would assume an opti­cal drive is present. An Ethernet port is right there for you to con­nect to the Net if there are no WiFi hotspots around and you’re not tot­ing a 3G card. The X360 will keep you run­ning at full speed for up to 10 hours, even more if you carry an extra bat­tery, an option that isn’t on the Air.

Samsung’s X360 is a decently designed 13.3″ note­book PC but does not come close to meet­ing the sex­i­ness of the MacBook Air. In terms of util­ity, the X360 can run cir­cles around the Air. If you live in the US, don’t hold your breath since Samsung doesn’t export its note­book PCs to the US. I wish they did.
