Hands-on with the Samsung Ativ Smart PC running Windows 8

August 29, 2012 by Andrew Edney 0 Comments

Tonight at IFA, Samsung announced their Ativ Smart PC and Smart PC Pro running Windows 8. We were there and after the press conference we got some hands-on time with the Ativ Smart PC.

The major feature of the new Samsung Ativ Smart PC is that it is both a laptop and a slate, depending on what configuration you have it. The screen and the keyboard are held together with magnets, making it very secure.

The screen is lightweight and can easily be held in your hand. It is also very thin!

Windows 8 was very responsive, and we look forward to testing it out in a full review soon.

So what do you think if the Samsung Ativ Smart PC? Is it something you might consider buying? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
