Samsung's Series 9 laptops were flirting with the ultrabook category before it even existed, but now the company has received Intel's blessing to dub its latest mobile computer an ultrabook officially. The Series 5 Ultra is the first among this new breed of laptops to offer a 14-inch screen, and its larger dimensions allow it to also be first to include an optical disc drive. Two models are being announced today, with the 14-incher measuring 20.9mm in thickness and the 13-inch variant (sans ODD) fitting into a depth of just 14.9mm. Both are encased in aluminum and include HDMI and Ethernet ports, plus SSD storage options or up to a terabyte of hard disk room. The smaller Series 5 Ultra caps the storage at 500GB and doesn't seem to have the same option for a Radeon HD 7550M GPU as its bigger brother, but at least both offer matte screens, just like the Series 7 Chronos.
