Ultra comes to the Series 7 fam

Updated: Samsung wasted no time in rolling out a laptop to back up its YouTube trailer, announcing the introduction of an updated Series 7 Chronos alongside the first Ultra in the Series 7 tribe.

The Chronos comes complete with RAMaccelerator tech that boasts 150 percent increases in browsing speed and app-run time. A Full HD (1920 x 1080) 15.6-inch display and aluminum body coat the outside, while the innards include quad-core i7 processor by Intel that offers up to 16GB of memory.

It's not exactly clear where those upgrades will land. Samsung's video doesn't specify if it's launching new notebooks or just revamping the existing Series 7 line.

Just last year, Samsung added a 17-inch notebook to Series 7. The new book on the block already has JBL speakers and a Full HD screen with the same resolution promised by the video.

Samsung may put a new graphics chip into the 17-inch version, or it could bring the 14- and 15-inch models more up to speed. The Korean company could even release a completely new notebook with all the promised features - the YouTube offering just isn't too specific.

TechRadar's requested more info from Samsung and will update this story if and when the company sheds some light on its plans. We'll also be on the look out for details at CES 2013 next week.
