Samsung Series 5 535U4C Notebook Specifacation

Samsung Series 5 535U4C Notebook Specifacation, Time to break new ground. That's what Samsung's engineers must have decided when they collaborated on the technical specs of the newest member of the Series 5. Until now, all variants of the series incorporated processors from Intel - and, if available - dedicated GPUs from Nvidia. The Series 5 535U4C, on the other hand, is powered by AMD. At the core of the compact 14-inchsystem is the Trinity-CPU A6-4455 with the integrated graphics card AMD Radeon HD 7500G. Should additional performance be required, the notebook can utilize the dedicated (middle-tier) AMD Radeon HD 7550M, which supports DX11. Unlike AMD's Crossfire technology, the two cards don't work in parallel. Depending on the demands, either one or the other cards is supposed to tackle the workload: the integrated card is used for simple tasks (and conserves power), the dedicated card comes into play when 3D power is required. AMD recently started calling their automatic graphics-switching "Enduro"; Nvidia's equivalent "Optimus" has been on the market for a while and works quite reliably.

Even though the 535U4C is not an Ultrabook, Samsung pretty much adheres to Intel's guidelines. The CPU is dual-core Ultra-Low-Voltage model with a clock speed of 2.1 to 2.6 GHz and has a TDP of 17 watts. Other essential specs: eight GB RAM, optical drive, non-glare display, and a fairly low weight of 1.84 kilogram (4.06 pounds).

In addition to our test model with AMD CPU, Samsung offers another 14-inch in the same series (530U4C) with a Intel Core i7-3517UM and eight GB of RAM. The MSRP of the notebook is 999 Euro.
