You’ve seen the hands-on video and the blinding speeds of the CPU and disk of the Samsung Slate PC but you still might be hungry for more. I am! The Samsung Series 7 Slate PC is a seriously impressive bit of engineering and proof that Core i5 can be designed into a chassis of under 900gm. The Slate PC will come with dock and keyboard for an estimated 1100 Euro entry-level price. It’s basically an Ultrabook without a keyboard but for many, this modular approach with attention to pen and finger touch details could be exactly what they’ve been looking for. I’m certainly taking a closer look at this one myself and hope to have a review device as soon as it’s available.

This looks very promising. I cant wait to see what Microsoft brings with Windows 8. It really could be what these devices need!

Am I the only one to find it irritating, that the Keyboard is a separate piece, not a dock that joins and lock with the slate into a Laptop form?
Yes, the slate form factor caters for use while standing. But if I can find a seat (but no table/desk) and wants to type more comfortably or quickly, such multi-piece solution is unmanagable.

I’ve always thought that the perfect slate dock would be a keyboard with a built in second battery and DVD (or Bluray) burner. When docked it would have a normal laptop form factor and features.

I heard that this product uses Super PLS panel. Is it true?

Yes it is
Review mentions it here too – http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-series-7-slate-700t_Laptop_review

yet another slate with a dual digitizer that DOESN’T come with a pen storage area, why do people forget the most basic needs
in the quest for trying to get the ‘thinnest slate’ award?

The funny thing is that Samsung found room on the 5.3″ Galaxy Note for a pen!

the note looks like a normal resistive(?) toothpick style stylus. digitizer pens are wider in diameter due to their electronics. and not to mention that its hard to scribble with a toothpick.

The Samsung S Pen is probably similar to N-Trig, combining a pressure sensitive pen with a capacitive touch screen. Basically a poor man’s Wacom digitizer, it’s cheaper and less capable but works well enough and is easier to integrate into these tablets.
Though the S Pen has the advantage over N-Trig in that Samsung is helping to develop apps to take advantage of it and is releasing a SDK package for developers.
While another tablet that also found room to include the Pen is Lenovo’s Thinkpad Tablet, which has pretty good handwriting recognition.

in the end of the day i just want to know why these ppl didnt make the pen storable within the device itself, was it
- they didnt know any better?
- they decided that making it thinner is more important than making it user friendlier?
- they keep thinking of Steve Jobs “If they included a stylus in the device, than they’ve done it wrong.” talk about the iPad?

Couldn’t agree more. Asus transformer with a x86 hart will be the perfect device.
