Samsung Series 5 NP530U3C A02
The good people over at Ultrabook-info.de have spotted a new version of the Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook,
the 530U4C-S03. Its appearing in German price comparison engines with
Ivy Bridge specifications and is expected to be an update to the
existing Series 5 models available in June.
The new information is fluid right now as German retailers update
their databases but it looks like both the 14 versions will
get an update with the 14 version getting the discreet graphics that
was also talked-up when the original 14 Series 5 launched.
We dont consider the specs to be final right now but theres a good
chance that this set of information on the NP530U4C-S03 from Atelco,
given that it has images of the new 14 Samsung Series 5 with Ivy
Bridge, is in the right ballpark.

The new Samsung Series 5 Ultra 530U3C-A02 is currently being offered
with the Core i5, 4GB 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. Theres 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, its
not too bad.
