In the case of Samsung, we had a chance to look at the new Samsung Series 9 and Series 5 Ultra ultrabook, but were surprised by quite a few intriguing laptops at Samsung’s booth, which we should expect to see later this year.

Samsung Series 7 17-inch
The Series 7 Chronos, a laptop I reviewed positi-
vely last year, has a 17-inch version in the works.
The looks are nearly identical to the Chronos of last
year, but the speakers have been revamped to a
JBL-branded sound bar.

Samsung’s Series 5 Ultra ultrabook has a non-ul-
trabook cousin known simply as the Series 5, and
these mainstream laptops will replace the QX and RF
series of laptops that often populated retailers like
Best Buy. The clean look of the Series 5 is attractive,
and like the Series 7, JBL speakers have been added.
The 15-inch Series 9.
The second-generation Samsung Series 9 has already
captured our eye in its 13-inch version, but there’s
also a 15-inch Series 9 in the works. The floor model
of the larger but still razor-thin laptop looks to be
http://www.batteryfast.co.uk/battery-technology/all-hidden-samsung-series-laptops-of-ces-2012/
the thinnest 15-incher I’ve ever seen.
The Series 5 Chromebook.
Undaunted by the prospects of irrelevance, Samsung
also had new Series 5 Chromebooks (the Series 5
moniker is used here, too, confusingly) on display.
Unlike last year’s Chromebooks, these will be using
Celeron processors instead of Atom. These versions
might not be as overpriced as last year’s models,
but the idea of a Web-only OS like Chromebook
still seems pointless in a landscape of tablets and
ultrabooks.
Speaking of the 13-inch Series 9, I also spotted a
dusty-rose-colored model bedazzled with crystals.

Samsung’s solar-powered Netbook.

Finally, tucked off to the side of Samsung’s booth,
I spied a solar-powered Atom Netbook. The solar
panel’s embedded on the laptop’s back lid. The Net-
book was lumped together with other eco-friendly
gadgets, a concept device; but it’s actually a good
idea, though. The solar lid looks attractive, and the
back lid of most laptops amounts to wasted space.

saw on the show floor.
