Samsung's X3 uses a 6-cell battery to offer nine hours of battery life, or six hours when playing video.

One of the many interesting things coming out from this year IFA in Berlin.

"...Called the X3, it has a 9-hour battery. It's an ultrathin, weighs just under 4 pounds, and has a 14-inch screen. The casing is matte and will come in pearl white, titanium silver, and pearl black. There will also be 15.6 inch and 11.6 inch versions.

It will use an Intel processor, but Samsung won't reveal details besides that it is dual core.

The nine-hour battery life comes from a six-cell battery. For video playback, it will last six hours.

The X series notebooks will come integrated with HSPA wireless and also feature 3-in-1 memory card reader, 3 USB ports, VGA, and HDMI port. There's a security feature that takes a photo each time it starts up. If the picture is not the rightful owner, the computer will be disabled. The software also allows stolen computers to be locked down or data erased remotely. .."
