It's a good display, to be sure — the 13.3-inch IPS panel's 1600 x 900 resolution is a notch above many ultrabooks, and its color reproduction and brightness are both as good as I'd expect.

Not only is everything incredibly sharp with nary a pixel to be seen, but because the panel is of the IPS rather than TN variety, viewing angles are also as close to perfect as laptops get.

And what screens: we’re talking about 1,920 x 1,080 resolution IPS panels, resulting in superb sharpness, excellent viewing angles, good contrast and punchy.

Pleasingly speedy and fast to react thanks to its 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 innards, the heavy duty Samsung Series 7 Chronos utilises the impressive AAMD Radeon HD 8870 graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 graphic memory to ensure stunning visuals at all turns.

Everything that makes the X1 one of our favorite ultraportable laptops is still here: the sharp 1600 x 900 display, the spacious and comfy keyboard, and a durable, soft-touch chassis.
