- Samsung has unveiled its new lineup of Windows 8-powered desktops, laptops and what is being called “Smart PCs” (essentially laptop-tablet hybrids).
- The ATIV Smart PCs run from the 500T model ($650 without the detachable keyboard) to the $1,200 Pro 700T. “Samsung did not reveal any tablets running Windows RT, but we expect that might come later this year and cost less than the ATIV Smart PC 500T,” reports VentureBeat.
- “The Smart PC is a new category driven by innovation and UI, with Windows 8 as the linchpin,” explains Tim Baxter, head of Samsung America consumer electronics.
- “Tablets and smartphones are ushering in a new era of computing mobility,” he told reporters. “New categories will arise as a result of this.”
- Samsung’s new $450-$1,400 laptops include the 13- and 15-inch Series 9 Premium Ultrabook, 15-inch Series 7 Notebook, 13.3-inch Series 5 Ultra Touch (with touch screen) and Series 3 Notebook. The Series 5 and Series 7 all-in-ones range from 21.5- to 27-inches.
