The Register Hardware have published a review of the Samsung X520 Notebook PC. 'With smooth, curved edges and an eye-pleasing design, the 15.6in X520 slips into Samsung's new X-series range. There are two other X-series models: the 11.6in X120 and 14in X420. The focus is on mobility here and, as such, all feature so-called CULV - Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage - processors and integrated graphics from Intel. When first announced at IFA earlier this year, Samsung made something of a bizarre marketing move by proudly proclaiming the batteries powering the X-series will not explode. Good news for those with an adverse reaction to spontaneous combustion then, and we're happy to confirm the X520's battery remained free of flames during testing. As well as not exploding.'
