Windows 7 Slate Tablet PCs are about to go new places thanks to the big consumer electronics brand of the moment – Samsung!
The series 7 features hardware that will allow you to have the best Windows Tablet PC experience possible.
- Intel Core i5 “Sandy Bridge” processor – for awesome performance and battery life – I expect between 4 – 6 hours use time although Samsung claim up to 7
- Wacom Pen and Multi-Touch Screen – The absolute standard for pressure and proximity sensitive Active Digitizer Pen and touch input
- Active Docking with HDMI, USB, Ethernet, Power and Audio – essential for a Tablet that can replace your laptop!
Amazingly, the Samsung Slate PC Series 7 weighs only 860 grams! I am staggered by how fast we have arrived at a Slate PC with Intel Core i5 laptop replacement power in form factor that is competitive with consumer tablets.
The only drawback for this tablet is the lack of a removable battery, 3G or 4G mobile broadband options. We may not see the kinds of accessories needed to make this Tablet a viable alternative for the big users of tablets – field workers, but it will be a hit with Executives, Corridor warriors, Digital Artists, Designers, Students, Teachers, Lecturers and IT Geeks.
We will be taking pre-orders as soon as we can secure stock!
More soon…
Interesting indeed, maybe motion would have been better to step up to the 2nd gen i5 processor after samsung announced this model. It does make you wonder what Motion will come up with next. One point of interest; the back surface is very slippery; a protective case would be be very useful in the field, however, nobody seems to make one for a 11.6inch tablet as yet. Still, a very, very good slate, makes my J3500 look like a circa 1990 cellphone ;(
