Average performance isn't justified by high price, Underwhelming screen resolution, Average battery life
The Samsung Series 5 ultrabook offers the sort of clean, mature design you'd expect to see in a big city boardroom. Sadly though, it doesn't offer enough processor performance or screen resolution to warrant its relatively high price....
Light weight, Very portable, Good general performance, Relatively easy to upgrade SSD and RAM, Feels solid, Good battery life and charge time
Tiny viewing angle is frustrating, Flimsy power plug and Ethernet port are just waiting to break, All in all, the Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook is a nice little laptop. You get good performance with general tasks like web browsing, word editing, watching mov
Keyboard isn't backlit. Some flexing on the lid. Unremarkable battery life. So-so performance
The Samsung Series 5 Ultra NP530U3B-A02 is a handsome, capable ultrabook, but its price tag is difficult to justify given its unimpressive performance and more nimble competitors....

The 13-inch Samsung Series 5 Ultra NP530U3B is a more affordable ultrabook than the executive-line Series 9, and has plenty of ports crammed into its sleek body. Get the hard-drive version, and you'll shave an extra $150 off the price
The touch pad, keyboard, and battery life aren't as excellent as you'd expect from a laptop this attractive-looking, and a plastic feel throughout makes it feel like a step down from a MacBook Air, which it is, in price
Samsung's finally made an affordable ultrabook, and the 13-inch Series 5 Ultra is a well-priced and far slimmer product than its 14-inch cousin. Still, it's not a runaway bargain, and it feels like corners have been cut in adapting it from the stellar...
Elegant design, USB 3.0 and LAN port, High brightness, Matt screen, Good battery life
Display hinges allow the screen to teeter, SSD cache only; no full-fledged SSD, Low image contrast
The Samsung 530U3B could convince thoroughly in many points. The elegant and slim case doesn't belong to the lightest of its kind with a weight of 1.45 kilograms. However, the 13.3 inch screen has a high brightness, is even glare-free and thus makes the S...
Matte screen. Good connectivity. Good touch pad and keyboard. Easy accessibility to upgrade
Heat management could be better. Battery life is outdone by the competition. Backlit keyboard is sorely missed
It might not have the backlit keyboard or the ultra-long battery life of some of its competitors, but the Samsung Series 5 Ultra is a pleasing laptop all the same....
500GB hard drive, Great keyboard and touchpad, Plenty of connectivity, Walletfriendly price
Uninspiring design, Middling performance, Average battery life, Bulky for an Ultrabook
The Samsung Series 5 Ultra 530U3B offers excellent value for money, and if you're looking for an Ultrabook on a budget, this is well worth considering. It's neither the most powerful nor the most stylish looking Ultrabook we've seen, but the usability of ...
Abstract: The first half of 2012 bought numerous ultrabooks to our desks for review, from the likes of Asus’ Zenbook and HP’s Folio 13 to Dell’s XPS 13. Conspicuous by its absence though, was an offering from Samsung. Happily, with the Series 5, that is no longe...
