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.

I don't know what you people are talking about the best Intel chips still beat the best AMD ones by a wide margin in most or all benchmarks, if you want to buy an affordable mid-range laptop or a high-end one because you're on a tight budget or want ...
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.
