Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch alternatives

Information from 13 Oct 2012.

Centrino 2 band, 2 channel WiFi. No keyboard backlight. Disk/ram access panel. 1366x768 touchscreen.

Samsung updates the Series 5 with a touchscreen. The original Series 5 was a good performing Ultrabook with a good keyboard so there's no reason to think this will be any different. Launch price is a little high but this is a full SSD version where the standard Series 5 has a hybrid HDD. Lower prices could make this one of the more desirable touchsreen laptops.
