Samsung promises a speedier user experience with its latest Samsung Ultra Series 5 ultrabooks, boot in just 20 seconds, restart from sleep in 2 seconds and browse the Web twice as fast as before.
This is thanks to a second-generation Intel Core i5-2467M processor, up to 8GB of memory in combination with Diskeeper’s ExpressCache system and an AMD Radeon HD graphics card. According to Samsung, Battery Life Plus will help keep 80 per cent of the cell’s original capacity, so your battery should last up to 1,500 charging cycles (or three years), which is five times longer than other notebooks. And if you’re looking for something slightly more petite, the Series 5 ULTRA is also available as a 13-inch model.
