Philips X53 & X55 Ultraportable Laptops
We didn’t even know that Philips made laptops, let alone ultraportables. In the U.K., Currys is selling the Philips Ultraportable X53 for £799.99, weighing just 1.85kg (4 lbs), it has a 1.66mhz Core Duo T2050 Processor, 1GB of ram, an 80GB hard drive and 12.1 inch widescreen. Dixon’s is selling the X55 for Core Duo T2050 Processor 1.66GHz, it sports similar specs except that it has a Core Duo 2 T5500 processor, 100GB hard drive and Windows Media Center running inside. Oddly enough we can’t find a product page for either of these. Has anyone heard of these or seen them in person? The X53 looks pretty good from the one picture we found of it.

Saw this laptop yesterday in Currys. Absolutely amazing! Quality picture, and want one from santa!
I just bought an X53 from Currys and am so far very impressed. I prefer laptops that are easily upgradeable and I was very pleased to find that not only is the processor socketed, but also that the WiFi card is mounted in a Mini PCIe slot.
I was considering a MacBook but the inclusion of an ExpressCard/54 slot and the larger (S-ATA) HDD and 1GB RAM tipped the balance. Very good value for money.
Purchased X53 recently, very pleased with it, particuarly attracted by size/weight - very easy for women to carry around unlike some of the bigger/heavier models which was one of my main considerations. USB ports upside down is only oddity, but doesn’t cause a problem. Price brilliant for what you get. Highly recommended.
The x55 is the same notebook as Twinhead H12Y…..

Hey guys! I have one of the Philips X56 ultra portable laptops! It is a really great piece of kit! Its light, quick, handles multimedia applications well. It excellent at multitasking! The screen is crystal clear! For the money its a superp machine! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well placed ultra portable dual core laptop! Only thing I would like to mention is that the laptop does like to overheat slightly at times. If its left on a surface such as a sofa or any other surface where cool air is at a minimum it will overheat very quickly! Other than that, its a top notch machine!
