Key Features A Full PC in a Sleek Form Factor

Samsung Series 7 slate PCs offer the power and speed of a full-size PC, yet they're a mere half-inch thick and weigh less than a pound. They're an amazing marriage of power and design.

Run Your Favorite Software

The Windows 7 OS allows you to run all your favorite office software. You can share documents with co-workers without any compatibility issues. And Samsung's touch interface gives you easy, instant access to all your programs.

Fast Start

You'll never have to wait for this computer to boot up. Press the power button, and it wakes instantly. Press it again, and it goes into a hybrid sleep mode.

Superior Screen Quality

Samsung is the world's largest manufacturer of LCD panels, and its Superbright Plus technology gives you a brilliant 400-nit screen (twice as bright as many traditional PCs) and stunning range of color (up to 16 million colors). The wide 170 degree viewing angle makes it easy to view content from anywhere, as well as to display materials to friends and colleagues.

Optional Bluetooth Keyboard and Dock

For those times when you prefer a traditional keyboard, an optional Bluetooth keyboard is available. And an optional dock lets you quickly and easily connect to an external monitor, printer, MP3 player, camera, and other USB devices (both keyboard and dock sold separately).

 

Fully Mobile, Fully Powered

You can quickly type using the on-screen keyboard and navigate through the slate's features with the highly responsive capacitive multi-touch screen, or write naturally on the screen using an electromagnetic pen, making it easy to take meeting notes, create documents and reports in Microsoft Office 2010, or browse online. An integrated microphone and dual 2-megapixel (front) and 3-megapixel (rear) cameras can record audio/visual files, which can be stored and shared via the full-sized USB port or Wi-Fi.

It also includes Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking.

 

Intel Wireless Display Capable

With integrated Intel Wireless Display technology, you'll be able to cut down on the cluttered mass of wires surrounding your work station and stop crowding around your laptop screen to enjoy vivid pictures, video and other content. You'll enjoy great image clarity and sound without sacrificing quality and without wires. Simply connect an optional adapter for Intel Wireless Display (such as the Netgear Push2TV PTV2000 and Belkin ScreenCast adapters) to your TV, follow a few simple steps, and you're off and running. Set it up once, and sharing your screen is as easy as pushing a button.

PowerPlus Battery Technology

A battery designed for the long haul, the Samsung PowerPlus technology gives you more years and more hours. This technology retains 80 percent of the original battery capacity for up to 1,000 charges. After three years of use you still have a battery that still works for you day in and day out. That's power when you need it.

This review is from: Samsung Series 7 XE700T1A-A03US 11.6-Inch Slate (128 GB, Win 7 HP) - Dock and Keyboard Included (Personal Computers)
Simply put, this is by far the best and most powerful tablet computer on the market as of today. 4GB of DDR3 RAM and 128GB SSD definitely help running things smoothly. Basically, this toy's performance is on par with the modern laptops. Windows 7 is pretty fast on it; it is fully Windows 8 ready and runs Developer Preview version just fine. Very nice bright screen; camera and audio are not brilliant but pretty decent; battery life is not amazing but not bad either. Overall, this is a product closer to performance laptops category rather than to lightweight Android powered toys (so it is not a competitor to Kindle Fire or to powertrain smartphones), and as all Windows products it is made more for content creation than for consumption. It seems very expensive, but sometimes there are good discounts in Microsoft stores - I got mine for sub-$1K price so it was a no-brainer.
I have yet to buy the dock station but honestly don't see many advantages in it, as the slate itself has all necessary interfaces (HDMI, audio, power) and as for the Ethernet jack who needs it these days when wireless is everywhere.
It also pairs with a bluetooth keyboard just fine, so you can enhance your typing experience (virtual keyboard is not too convenient for those who needs much typing). Get More Full Detail>>
