Samsung Series 5 ultrabook review
The Samsung Series 5 ultrabook offers the sort of clean, mature design you'd expect to see in a big city boardroom. Sadly though, it doesn't offer enough processor performance or screen resolution to warrant its relatively high price.

Samsung Series 5 Ultrathin review
By using an AMD processor instead of an Intel one, Samsung has managed to keep the price of its Series 5 Ultrathin to less than £500. Technically speaking, this isn't an Ultrabook, as that's an Intel brand-name, but you'd have a hard job working this...

Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook review

Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook review
What do you do on your laptop? Surf the web, write documents, watch a bit of video? Yeah, we thought so. Despite having machines that are capable of incredible things, laptops that have enough computing power to achieve almost anything you can imagine....

Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 review
Solid hardware and a slightly improved Chrome OS aren't enough to save the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 from the hordes of similarly priced but more capable tablets and laptops. There are way too many caveats and compromises for us to recommend it.

The Samsung Series 5 is late to the Ultrabook party, but it's an affordable option with excellent usability and a massive 500GB hard drive
