| The new Samsung Series 5 Ultra 530U3C-A02 is currently being offered with the Core i7, 8GB RAM and 500GB hybrid hard drive (we hope with the same ExpressCache setup as the current Series 5 it works well) for 999€ which is about the same as the launch prices for entry level models of 1st-Gen Ultrabooks. There's an NP530U3C-A05 listed for 799€ and this is currently showing with a Core i5 Sandy Bridge processor. We suspect this will turn out to be the entry-level version of the new Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook with Ivy Bridge. As a starting price, it's not too bad. |
