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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super fast and fully featured, January 2, 2012

This review is from: Samsung Series 7 XE700T1A-A05US 11.6-Inch Slate (64 GB, Win 7 Pro) (Personal Computers)

Have had my slate for several months now and every day I grow more attached to it. I have the 128GB model and expanded storage with a class 10 32GB micro SD card since they are going for about $1 per GB these days. I had the dock ordered but really have not felt I would need it. I would highly recommend getting some kind of stand for it and then I use the Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mouse if I'm going to be doing major work on it. Otherwise I can just grab it and go without needing anything else. Battery life has been impressive in my opinion. I get consistently 8-9 hours use a day on a single charge with moderate to heavy usage. Not sure why the other reviewer said there wasn't HDMI out. It is on mine and I don't remember having to ask for anything special. It is micro HDMI so you need an adapter to connect a regular size HDMI cable, but it is there and it works - I have used it only once, but it was relatively painless. Windows 8 is coming and once it is available this machine will really be amazing. Can't wait!

4.0 out of 5 stars beats the C.... outta any tablet out there at this time., January 3, 2012

This review is from: Samsung Series 7 XE700T1A-A05US 11.6-Inch Slate (64 GB, Win 7 Pro) (Personal Computers)

PROS:
SSD
core i5 cpu
good set of applications / software
not so much bloatware
touch works very well
light wt
clear screen
win7pro 64bit
snappy and fast
1x USB iniput
1x Hdmi input
micro sd slot
handwriting recognition mechanism works really well

cons:
occasional fan noise - but doesn't bother me
limited space
1x usb input
wish it had slot for regular SD card - not micro
samsung application home mimics android menu but it's not really useful
cost
handwriting mech works well but takes time for you to get used to it and requires 50 writing samples at least (not sure if this is of windows / the machine itself)
battery life can be extended with some tweaking but it seems about ~5hrs per charge - wish it were longer
-------------

my wife has the ipad2, and I just didn't like the fact that it was not really like a laptop... (obviously)
this unit is basically a laptop in a tablet case. it's amazing how they fit in a SSD, i5 cpu, video card, ram in this really ultra small factor.
everything opens up very quickly without lag. I took out IE and loaded chrome. very nice performance overall.
you have option of using the pen (included) or your own hands. has virtual keyboard. overall very pleasant experience.
occasional fan noise bugs a little but it's not too loud.
I had fun entering in my writing samples but it does get tiresome (50 sentences at least - u can stop in the middle and continue later)
wireless network range seems to be very good. on par with my sony vaio VPCZ1.
will update more with more details after some more usage.

this tablet is going to work awesome for our outside salesmen. It is as fast or faster than most of our current computers. It is also cheaper then what we currently supply for our salesmen which are dell laptops. this thing is awesome. i pad was not for business, the slate 7 will do anything, it is going to work seamlessly with our enterprise software.
