  • SSD makes for snappy boot times, good screen, range of connectivity options,
  • Weighs more than a real Ultrabook, plastic is alarmingly easy to snap in places, average battery life and performance
  • The Series 5 Ultra is a decent notebook, but it’s certainly not an Ultrabook. The unit may be sleek, but it’s not Ultrabook-sleek, despite what Samsung claims. The device also feels much heavier than other Ultrabooks, in part due to the included optica...

  • Built-in optical drive; plenty of ports; comfortable trackpad/keyboard.
  • Battery life could be better; screen has limited viewing angle.
  • Overall, Samsung's mid-range laptop with its RM2,999 price tag appears to straddle the blurry edge of what makes a portable computer and an Ultrabook. This one's geared at the user who's willing to take the next step forward in embracing the next gene...

  • Excellent display, Included optical drive, Long battery life, Above-average performance, Comfortable keyboard, Plenty of ports, Good Webcam and sound
  • Plastic bottom, Some unrefined, uncomfortable edges
  • This sub-$1,000 ultrabook makes few compromises, with its optical drive, long battery life, and strong performance. It's an excellent fit for those who value function and portability over design in a super-compact laptop. ...

  • Here's the thing: Samsung pitches the Series 5 Ultra as the first Ultrabook to sport an optical drive. But it's not, because it's not an Ultrabook. Sure, it may (barely) hit the 21mm thickness mark, but it contains a hard disk drive (along with a cach...

  • No big advantage in weight or battery life over ultraportables and 14-inch slimlines,
