Samsung has launched a dual OS
hybrid tablet cum laptop called Ativ Q.
Samsung Ativ Q is a 13.3-inch device
that has a thickness of 13.9 mm and
weighs 1.29 kgs. It also comes with a
qHD+ display that has a resolution of
1800x3200 pixels. The hybrid is
powered by an Intel Core i5 processor.
The device comes with a 4GB RAM
and 128GB SSD storage. It also has a
720p HD camera on-board. In terms of
ports, the Ativ Q comes with one USB
3.0, one USB 2.0, an HDMI port, a
headphone/ microphone combination
jack and a microSD card slot.
The device comes with both Windows
8 and Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2
operating systems onboard, giving
users the option to choose which OS to
boot into. It also gives you the ability
to pin an Android application to the
Windows 8 start screen, providing
some kind of integration between the
two operating systems.
In terms of the physical build of the
tablet, the slider format with the
keyboard makes it similar to Sony's
Vaio Duo 13. There is no touch pad on
the keyboard but left and right mouse
keys do exist. The mouse is present in
the form of a track pad in the centre of
the keyboard, similar to how it is
placed on the Vaio Duo 13.
The tablet offers S-Pen functionality
allowing you to create content using
the stylus on the tablet. Samsung has
also incorporated Smart Sync
functionality into the tablet enabling
users to control their smartphones
using the Ativ PC. So, your Android
smartphone can be somewhere in your
bag, while you reply to a text using
your computer.
The hinge design of the ATIV Q gives
four physical modes to the tablet. One
can lay the display flat over the
keyboard for tablet mode; raise the
display upright to type through the
keyboard similar to how you use a
laptop; float and adjust the display to
a desired viewing angle; or flip the
display to place it on a stand mode.
Samsung has not revealed anything
about the pricing or the availability of
the PC-tablet hybrid as of now.
