Samsung's Series 5 ultrabooks may not be any easier to buy than the ASUS UX31A and UX21A Zenbooks, but they are available for pre-order at least.

The 13.3-inch Series 5 has a price of $879 (670.07 Euro), while the 14-inch model bears a price of $917 (699 Euro). The display resolution is 1,366 x 768 pixels.

That said, their other specs are more or less the same, which is not really a shock.

An Intel Core i5-2467M dual-core CPU is backed up by 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a 500 GB HDD with 16 GB NAND flash cache.

Also, two USB 2.0 ports are present, as is USB 3.0, a webcam, Bluetooth 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, a 4-in-1 card slot and, on the 14-incher, an optical disk drive.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of Radeon hybrid graphics unfortunately. Hopefully the integrated Intel GMA HD is good enough on its own.
