TechRadar says it best "A huge disappointment: the Ativ Smart PC is woefully underpowered and cripplingly, hilariously overpriced. An iPad, Nexus 10 or Ultrabook would do a much better job, and you'd pay a lot less money for the privilege. Samsung's device just isn't good enough." plus "Small usable storage, Trackpad often unresponsive" I'll stick with iPad and iMac.

A PC on Tablet! I love that.
Touch screen computers are now available - however, seeing Windows machine run on a tablet is a good feeling. Everything you can do on a PC - your laptop or desktop - can be done here, too. Except that now you are on the THIN tablet. Easy to carry everywhere compared to few pounds of a laptop (which are getting lighter for sure.) Not to mention the ease of carrying them - smaller size and lighter tablets backed by a name like SAMSUNG!
A PC on Tablet! I love that.

Outdated product review as of this entry. I return to the products I review time and time to again to determine if and when their products are updated, revised or discontinued. I encourage you to do the same and stay abreast of recent developments. Being up to date on products, particular standards and levels of practice is due diligence that should be undertaken by every real estate professional.

The Samsung ATIV smart pc should be on your list of things to see. It's an incredible tablet that's very lightweight, has an extra long battery life, runs on the super fast Windows 8 operating systen so you can download everything, it's ultrathin, powerful so you can multitask and run multiple applications without wading through molasses. And it's under 800 bucks. Although I'm still an iPhone and iPad fan, you'll probably never leave home without this one until you find something else that you want to play with.

I looked very closely at the Samsung Tablet. What intrigued me was it was a full operating system and can run any windows program. It is not limited by apps that are available.
There was two things that concerned me.
One- It was a 32 bit operating system, which makes it difficult with some Adobe programs. Some programs need 64 bit
Two- The hard drive is only 64GB... the operating system takes up almost 30GB.
I opted for an Acer Iconia 700w 6465 at a cost of $950. Out of the box it came with a folio case a docking station and a keypad. (the Samsung does not come with any accessory items) The other advantages were:
128 GB of storage vs 64
4 mb of Ram vs 2mb
64 bit operating system vs 32 bt
Intel i5 processor vs an Atom Processor (faster)
The deciding factor was the 64 bit so I could run Adobe Premier which you cannot do with a 32 bit operating system.
If you want to save a few dollars and don't need the 64bit operating system, definitely consider the Samsung.
I would also like to point that the tablets running full operating systems can be criticized because of the cost. They go beyond tablet computing. You can run full applications of your most important programs!!

I know, a laptop does all that and more. However, a laptop does not travel like this does and it does not have the ease of use.
This is everything we wished Apple would put in a pro iPad, but never did.
The S-pen give pen input and signatures with a pen like tool, and it writes like a pen, not like some phat fiber.
With a full Windows 8 OS, this is not watered down, it's the full on pc, on the road.
64gb storage in a solid state drive, you can add another 64 in additional memory.
Did I mention the full keyboard dock for when you want it like a laptop?
Cons - only connects on at&t, not my favorite cup of tea.
