Amazon Offers Thin Samsung X360 Notebook for $749

I was just getting my daily dose of Amazon and saw a solid deal worth passing along. Today, the e-tailer is selling the thin-and-light Samsung X360 notebook for $1,049, which is 45% off the MSRP. There was a $300 rebate on top of that, but you had to purchase by the end of February. Still, a good deal at just over a grand for:

• 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (SU9300)
• 3GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM
• 120GB, 5400RPM hard drive
• Microsoft Windows Vista Business
• 13.3-inch, 1280×800 LED backlit display
• Intel GMA4500MHD shared, 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
• 5900mAh, 6-cell battery. I’d expect around 5 hours of standard runtime.
• 2.8-pound weight
• 1.2 x 12.2 x 8.9 inches

UPDATE: reader bob in Pittsburgh pointed out the $300 rebate is back, so this beauty is only $749 after the rebate.  Yowza!
