They haven't write anything about touch screen, but the images are clearly of the same model of Chronos seen at CES 2013 that was the touchscreen version and there is an image with a finger on screen.
I'm curios to see the backlit keyboard in action, because the keys seem made in aluminum so the light can't go through the keys but it can only leak out from the edges of the keys:

just for comparison the keyboard of 570Z5E:

Oh wow I actually really like the look of the black outside. I hope that it also features a full hd panel but I'm doubtful. Nice to see that the lower end version also features the 8870m though. What is this ativ book 6/8? This has to be the most confusing series of laptops I have ever come across.

for the touch variant you have the picture with the hand on the screen the edge to edge glass covering the screen with black bezel and one hour less battery life 10.5 vs 11.5
the non touch has the grey metal bezel and more battery life with no hand on the screen in the pic showing the display
@Mac
the light will definetly not be leaking only on the sides...that would defeat the purpouse. probably the aluminum will be only small plates on top of actual plastic keys and the letter markings will be laser etched into the aluminum so the light will pas through the plastic and out the holes in the aluminum
@ pranktank the M version is definetly not getting fullHD as you can see on the description of the 2 15 inch and the 17 inch is written full HD while in the M version it doesn,t write anything -

How do you think this newer Series 7 Chronos model compares to the latest Series 7 gamer?
-
Edit: I mean the one with gtx 675m? -
I'm really curious about what the 300E5E and 300E4E are.
My guess is that it's somewhere between the series 7 and 9. Somewhat less portable than the 9, but more powerful than the 9 as well.
But maybe it's haswell?
Samsung has been great with updating that site, maybe it'll be up tomorrow! -

It looks like the place where the description and presentation of a product is put before going to the official samsung site.
-
It has all of samsung 2012 laptops on it, with all the information, etc.
It seems to be quite legit, and no one has had any problems with it(or at least mentioned them). -
Was this link already sent out? http://pci34.fishingtree.com/miranda/strategy/730U3E/

i was thinking about the same thing...the plastic being for the antennae. Only i'm pretty sure it's not the glass ... I think it,s the digitizer that,s acting like a faraday cage together with the aluminium lid ..... doesn't really matter though. I hope i can get a hands on with this laptop before buying it to see if i can live with that plastic piece on the touch. The only reason i would buy the touch version would be for futureproofing as i have a feeling it will become pretty mandatory in 1-2 years. Right now I don't have any inclination in using touch on a laptop
-
This may be stupid, but is it not possible that the plastic is there so that the keyboard doesn't touch the screen?
Like, there is no raised bezel, no rubber on the keyboard to protect the screen, etc.
maybe the plastic is there to keep the keyboard from having direct contact with the screen.
Lol i just repeated myself 3 times, but I'm trying to make my point clear! -

Fishing tree was updated btw, 780z5e now says touch screen, and it weighs 2.45kg opposed to 2.35kg.
They've also removed all references to the series 8 -

Fishing tree is just the holding site for all product pages before being put live to Samsung's site. You are getting the info from the horse mouth, but sometimes the horse itself is also confused because the webdesigner does use the content directly from Samsung.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone have a guess as to what this will sell for at launch? When I first saw it I saw it as the direct successor to the Series 7 15.6" with the 1600 x 900 resolution screen that has been selling at Best Buy for 1000 bucks for a while. I'm currently using a Sony F Series I got in July of 2010. I like it because of its 16.4" 1080p display - that was the primary selling point for me. Everything about the 15.4" Series 7 looks fantastic to me but I just cannot bring myself to move to a lower resolution display. I would prefer a 17" laptop, but the ones I want are simply not in the price range I can afford. I believe I can deal with a 15.4" display provided it's full HD like this one. But now I'm reading this is more of a high-end ultrabook? Any input as to what this thing will probably cost would be appreciated. How much were the Series 7 notebooks when they first launched? I initially guessed this laptop would be about 1000 bucks when I first saw it - but I think I'm way off base on that now.

After reading the reviews on the Gamer model, I hope the new 17 has that 173HT02-C01 display in it. :|

What was the Z5C selling for in Canada and US?
-

Edit: it has both model numbers in the description so I assume it's just the same as the 770Z5E.
I really hope the 8870m is as fast as the number suggests. It seems that samsung is going to put that same gpu in their series 5 which makes me think it's more of a mid-range gpu than a high end one. -
I should not be posting here but I could not resist because I see so little contribution from some of you who have so much to say.
User Manual for all Chronos 2013 models -

looks like only one memory slot in the manual, so that confirms that one 'memorystick' is soldered on the motherboard
-
Most well known Dutch computer shops have the np770z5e online for days now, but none of them is telling us anything about when they start shipping. Cheapest known price here is €1399.
By the way, anyone knows whether it would be possible to replace the HDD in this notebook with an SSD? -
-
Is it confirmed the European Serie 7 Ultra (non-touch) will come with WWAN?
Are there any sites listing full specs? -
When will the new Samsung series chronos come out this year?
-
doest anyone know which model number of the chronos will include the touch screen? after reading some of the posts it appears they are several different versions that are likely to be released
-

I know the laptop is gonna be given a HDD hard drive or maybe a SSD option.
But is it possible to fit both? So the 1TB HDD + an SSD or even an mSATA SSD? That would be sweet.
