Samsung Ativ Smart PC launched, priced

Not to be outdone by Asus, Samsung Philippines also unveiled their latest Windows 8 PC offering yesterday. One of their new offerings is the ATIV Smart PC which we first featured back in August even before Microsoft formally announced their new OS.

At the core of this Windows 8 Convertible Tablet PC is an Intel Atom Z2760 processor with 2GB LPDDR2 RAM and 128GB SSD. The company also equipped the bad boy with pair of snapper; 8MP on the rear and 2MP on the front.

To ensure maximum productivity and creativity, Samsung bundled the ATIV Smart PC with a keyboard dock and a Wacom Digitizer S-Pen which has 1024K pressure sensitivity. The stylus is paired with Samsung’s proprietary S-Note app similar to the one found on the Galaxy Note.

Here’s a short clip of our hands-on with the Samsung ATIV Smart PC:

The Samsung ATIV Smart PC sports a handful of ports including a USB 3.0, mHDMI, Audio jack and micro-SD slot. The keyboard dock adds two more USB 2.0 ports to its arsenal.

ok for gaming but not for anything compute intensive like rendering.
Ramon says:

Yup slyv3rblade is right, need more muscle for rendering

But what I really want it to future proof my devices as much as possible… Ayokong bumili tapos wla pang 1yr, obsolete na agad XD

But that’s just me :)

tama, pero kung ganun ka naman malamang yung mga 14″ laptop ang kailangan mo..

anyway,

mas ok ata yung vivobook x202e, upgrade it to 256gb ssd it will cost you only 36k compare sa 60k ng samsung.. hindi nga lang FHD at detachable yung screen. hehe di hamak na mas ok naman ang asus compare sa samsung pagdating sa laptops
Ramon says:

Where can I find the 10k plus Sony Vaio Duo 11? I’ve searched the price on the net and it’s shockingly 60k bucks! Geez.

wait i thought you said “Instead of HD display, the company equipped the PC Pro with a Full HD PLS Type screen with 400 nit brightness.”

Then why did you say Samsung ATIV Smart PC PRO has 1366×768? shouldn’t it be 1920×1080?
