Samsung Series 5 NP535U3C Review: AMD Takes on Intel's Ultrabook

It's only 0.7 inch thick, and it weighs just 3.35 pounds (3.8 pounds with power block), but the 13.3-inch Samsung Series 5 NP535U3C doesn't qualify as an Ultrabook. The reason? "Ultrabook" is a trademark belonging to Intel--and the Series 5 NP535U3C...

Good GPU performance ; Good speakers for an ultrabook

Mediocre battery life ; Unimpressive overall performance

AMD-powered ultraportable laptop is as thin and light as an Ultrabook, but can't match the performance of its Intel-based rivals.

Samsung Series 5 NP535U3C-A01US

The Samsung Series 5 NP535U3C-A01US looks like an ultrabook, feels like an ultrabook, and will be sold alongside ultrabooks, but don't be fooled. Although there are plenty of superficial similarities, the Series 5 NP535U3C is built around an AMD...

Bargain price. Slim, light design. Full-size HDMI port. Matte-finish display

Poor performance. Short battery life. Awkward card reader

The Samsung Series 5 NP535U3C-A01US gives you the portability of an ultrabook at a lower price, but compromises on performance.

Samsung Series 5 13.3" Touch Screen Intel Core i5/8GB/128GB SSD Ultrabook Review (NP540U3C-A01CA)

The Samsung Series 5 13.3" Touch screen Ultrabook (NP540U3C-A01CA) I am reviewing today arrived to ModSynergy without any issues directly from Samsung. The first time you see the box it comes in, you really notice there is nothing plain about it....

Apparently I've stated that there are quite a few faults with the Ultrabook, but at the same time, it didn't have anything catastrophically wrong that compromised the experience, other than the poor performing SanDisk U100 Solid State Drive it came...

good price, good value

I had good experience with AMD procesors. I saw this computer in a good price, so I give it a try. I am happy so far. Very light, good for travel.

More Advice

Finding a notebook with Win 7 (any version) on it is getting a bit difficult so slamming a manufacturer like one reviewer has, is silly. Especially when they reformatted the hard drive and installed something else ; Honestly, there is no way the writer...

Couldnt ask for more

I bought this laptop because Im an AMD Fan and it was on sale and fast speed and long battery life. Soon after I received it I seen more potential. So I bought a Sandisk SSD and that just made performance go through the roof for me. I often use my...

Excellent Computer, Great Price

It's hard to believe I was able to get a laptop of this caliber in the 13 inch size for under $500. I've already watched a few movies and the picture and the sound (no additional speakers) was excellent. Everything is fast and smooth with this computer.

An Affordable Slim Option

If you don't care about having a laptop with this slim style, you can spend the same money on a bigger, better laptop with better hardware.

This is an impressive little laptop at a good price. It has the style and feel of laptops twice the price. The AMD APU is a powerful, efficient piece of hardware that is perfect for laptops, especially in this slim case where space is at a premium ;...

The keys feel a little spongy. The trackpad occasionally gets in the way while typing. The screen's viewing angles are rather limited ; Even at this price, I feel that a good bit of that money goes towards the slim case style ; It does not come with a...
