Samsung X360

But for all its plus points the X360 falls short of its major competition - the VAIO VGN-Z21MN/B. Sony's A-Listed effort may weigh an extra 140g, but it packs in so much more. It has an integrated optical drive, a higher resolution and better quality 1,366 x 768 screen, plus a more powerful processor and incredible nine-hour battery life. It also has a three-year warranty compared to the X360's single-year cover.

In return, the Samsung's biggest advantage is its solid-state drive. While that's a great inclusion, it isn't enough to make the X360 excel.
