Samsung ATIV Smart PC - Video Review

The Samsung ATIV Smart PC is a tablet-laptop hybrid which runs Windows 8. The device features a 11.6 inch touch display with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, 128GB of internal storage, a 4080 mAh battery which offers around 14 hours of usage and is powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor.

Because the ATIV Smart PC runs Windows 8, you have access to all the legacy Windows programs and are not restricted to the selection in the Windows Store. Samsung has even managed to match the battery life of the iPad and Android slates in the market with a device which is comfortable to hold and can easily take the form of an Ultrabook with its keyboard dock. The added benefit of the S Pen for digital input is also welcome.
