Samsung unveils Notebook 5 and 3 series: trio of light, practical laptops
Samsung unveiled three new Windows laptops with solid performance and a practical build. The Samsung Notebook 5 comes with a 15.6” 1080p screen and a metal body. The other two are Notebook 3 models – one with a 14” screen and one with 15.6”.
The specs are mostly identical from here on out. The laptops come with a choice between an 8th or 7th generation Intel processors, the higher-end models also come with discrete Nvidia graphics. Full specs are available at the bottom.
These are practical laptops. They have full keyboards with numpads, “ergonomically crafted” key caps and a wide trackpad. The screens have anti-glare panels calibrated with the Samsung Color Engine.
The Samsung Notebook 3 and 5 will be available first in Korea (in April) and will then launch globally (including in Brazil and China) in Q2.

It seems Samsung lost it's timeless ultrabooks design. Got np900x3e probably 5 years back and it is still cracking ultrabook, these new ones are just outright ugly (including series 7 and 9), sort of reminds me older HP chromebooks.
