Samsung out two Ultrabook models, but without being really because does not pasting to the specifications of Intel.
Use the term "ultrabook" to refer to cell phones which are not according to Intel, must be daring. Samsung is there risk by introducing two new laptops "5 Series" that are first launched in Korea. It thus discovered a 13 "model which weighs 1.4 Kg and one of 14" who weighs 1.8 Kg. Two machines that do not scrupulously comply with the specifications of the ultrabooks developed by Intel. For example, the 14 "exceeds the allowed limit of weight of 400 grams, and also exceeds the maximum thickness with 20.9 mm.
For the screen, it is quite basic. 1366 X 768 pixels in bright mode, anti-glare Treaty. In the 14 "model, can be found an Intel Core i5 processor and up to 8 GB of RAM, a hard disk of 1 TB and 16 GB of SSD (storage hybrid), an optional optical drive and an AMD Radeon HD 7550M graphic card. Side connectors, multiple USB ports, the RJ45, a VGA port, and another in HDMI. WiFi and Bluetooth are of course part, but we have no details as to the standards used.
13 "Model has the same bright screen and the same definition, all in a chassis not exceeding the 14.9 mm (eligible for the title of ultrabook!). Inside, 500 GB of hard disk coupled to a 16 GB SSD. The graphic part is this time limited to the controller of the processor. For ports, this will be the same as those of the 14 "model. To do such as LG, Samsung developed the ExpressCache system to kick start his machine in 7 seconds chrono from the hibernation and 2 seconds since the classic standby mode.
These portable two "5 Series" - name usually used for the Chromebook range - are diverted to fill the role of Ultrabook. Have the Korean brand been taken to court by the buzz of the ultrabooks kick? In any case, it will have to pay $ 1125 for the entry without any options and up to $ 1298 the all options on the model 13 ", or $ 1167 and up to $ 1341 model 14". Therefore, it is still far from directives of Intel pricing... See if 13 "deserves well its title of Ultrabook compared to the UX31 of Asus, Toshiba Z830 and Acer Aspire S3 we tested.
