Samsung Series 5

The Samsung Notebook Series 5 Ultrabook delivers performance beyond all expectations for a thin and light notebook.

The Series 5 Ultrabook is powered by a 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor; combined with an ExpressCache system by Diskeeper and a powerful AMD Radeon HD graphics card, to ensure it delivers incredible experiences from its thin and light form factor.

Neil Sawyer, Head of IT Marketing for Samsung UK & Ireland, said, "Based on in-depth market research and consumer surveys, we propose a new type of Ultrabook which will change the perception of Ultrabooks among consumers. Our findings indicate that consumers demand much more than just a thin and light notebook; they want better performance and user storage on a daily basis, as digital files are becoming larger. The Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook will be the first to answer these needs. The heavily competitive and fast changing media environment demands for a device that will meet these requirements and that is why we present the Series 5 Ultrabook."

Unleash Ultra Features

Available in 13" and 14", the Series 5 Ultrabook reveals its performance through an Intel Core i5-2467M processor, up to 8GB memory, ExpressCache system by Diskeeper and AMD Radeon HD graphics card. As a result, the Series 5 Ultrabook is able to fast boot in just 20 seconds, wake up in 2 seconds, whilst web browsing is twice as fast as the previous generation notebook PCs.

Performance is nothing without space to store data and due to the development of digital image devices and various media platforms, files are getting larger, increasing the need for bigger user storage. Despite the recent trend of cloud storage, local storage is still preferred among users. To meet these needs the Series 5 Ultrabook 14" offers up to 1TB storage capacity ensuring that users never need to carry a peripheral storage device with them.

The performance has been further enhanced by the extended battery life. The Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook delivers up to 6.4 hours of battery life on a single charge. The Samsung Battery Life Plus is a true anti-aging battery technology, which keeps 80% of the cell's original capacity in a life cycle lasting up to 1500 charging cycles or three years.

To meet the concept of being the true companion of consumers, the Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook will be offered in 13" and 14". To ensure ease-of-use while on the move, the Series 5 Ultra 13" is just 14-17.6mm thin and 1.38kg light.
