Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T Tablet with Windows® 8

Comments about Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T Tablet with Windows® 8:

The evaluation has more to do with the new Windows 8 rather than the Samsung Ativ itself.
The device is very well designed, very light, the colors on screen are beautiful, the screen responds quickly. The only negative I've seen so far is that writing tends to get blurred when scrolling.

Windows 8 on the other hand...will take some time to get used to. In about the first 3 hours of usage you will realize that it is really two operation systems in one device (they say it, but it's a whole another thing to actually realize what that means).

Essentially the difference is this: there are apps and there is the computer. As long as you keep the two in their separate worlds your brain will be fine: i.e. if you install a "Skype app", it will not be used as part of the computer because it's not installed as a program on the computer. (For example, if you have two accounts on Skype: save yourself the trouble and just install the program on the computer and forget about the app.)

Either way, a lot of fun to be had with the new operational system. The device is itself perhaps not the sleekest bust definitely functional, light, and the keyboard is exceptionally well done for an add-on keyboard and is fully functional and great to use for business.

Enjoy!
