The new Samsung Series 5 Slate runs off an Intel Atom Z2760, a next-gen
SoC (system on a chip) that seems similar to the processor in the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2.
In fact, so is the docking mechanism: the Slate pops into its
keyboard-and-touchpad base and becomes a conventional ultraportable.
Several other manufacturers seem to be working on very similar products.
The Series 5 Slate has an 11.6-inch screen (at 1,366x768) and weighs
1.65 pounds, and measures 11.6" x 7.2" x 0.38". It comes with 2GB of
RAM, a 64GB SSD, Gigabit Ethernet with an adapter, and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Series 5 Slate also sells without the keyboard dock at $649.
The Series 7 Slate weighs a little more, at 1.89 pounds, and it's thicker: 0.5 inch. Its 11.6-inch screen has a higher 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution. The Series 7 Slate (XE700T1C-A01US) comes with an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB SSD, as well as Gigagbit Ethernet with an adapter and Bluetooth 4.0, matching the standards of many ultrabooks.
The dream of a truly functional tablet/laptop hybrid goes all the way back to the Lenovo U1 Hybrid, and continues up through recent products like the Asus Transformer.
The Samsung's Slate/keyboard solution has a touch screen as well as a
full multi-touch trackpad, both of which can be used to navigate Windows
8's interface. The Series 7 Slate has both front- and rear-facing
cameras. samsung 7 series slate pc
