Reviews for the Samsung 530U4E-S02DE
Understatement. Samsung restyles its midrange dubbed Series 5 with plain, high-end looks and fresh components. Onboard we find a matte 14-inch screen, a dual-core processor from Intel and a dedicated graphics from AMD. This configuration is currently priced at about 800 Euros (~$1034).

Samsung’s Series 5 is a mid-range 14-inch Windows 8 notebook with high-end finishes for about $800. Let’s take a closer look. The Series 5 plumps for the minimalist style, following the current fad for lightish-colored mixtures of plastic and metal surfacing. The Series 5 is on sale already priced at $850, and the manufacturer’s decription of it as a ‘multimedia Ultrabook’ is well justified.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
