If you were to stop by Samsung's official website, you might discover that the Series 5 laptop line has been updated overnight.

The ultrabooks, measuring 14 inches or 13.3 inches, are now equipped with AMD's Trinity accelerated processing unit.

To be more specific, the 14-inch Series 5, priced at $850 (672 Euro), relies on the quad-core A10-4655M.

Meanwhile, the 13.3-inch machine, at $700 (553 Euro), is equipped with the A6-4455M (also a quad-core). Both APUs have the integrated Radeon HD 7500G GPU.

Go here for the smaller laptops and here for the larger of the two. In either case, you'll get a nice amount of RAM (4 GB standard), an HDD (500 or 750 GB) and all the necessary connectivity and I/O.
