Samsung Series 7 Slate
One
of the Series 7 Slate's distinguishing features is its dual-input pen and touch
digitizer. Samsung uses Wacom's technology, which in my experience provides the
most fluid and accurate inking experience available.Samsung's Series 7 Slate is
a powerful touch-screen Windows 7 PC, with a very Windows-8-like optional
interface.The Series 7 tablet is sold worldwide, with different configurations
offered in each region. In the US ,
at least, there are four pre-built models ranging in price from $1,099 to
$1,349.
Across the board, it comes with that
same Core i5-2467M processor and 4GB of RAM, and are rated for up to seven
hours of battery life. Other details, such as the 802.11 b/g/n radio, Intel HD
3000 graphics card and 1366 x 768 resolution are also non-negotiable.
But, Onscreen typing is finicky and
headache-inducing. The sold-separately dock and keyboard are practically
required.
The bottom line: The Samsung Series
7 Slate 700T is the fastest Windows 7 tablet we've tested, and paired with its
optional accessories, it provides a very laptop-like experience, but one marred
by the typical awkward onscreen Windows typing experience.

VS Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Microsoft
might not be the first company to break into 2-in-1 laptop, but it's one of the
few to get it right. The first Surface was a suave new device that worked both
as a laptop and tablet. Thanks to an ergonomic kickstand and excellent magnetic
keyboard, it easy to use whether you're at a desk or even laying down. The
Surface Pro 3 is thinner and lighter than the previous two versions, despite
having a larger 12-inch display and higher screen resolution. A new kickstand
makes it easier to set up and use, and the keyboard cover remains a
best-in-class example. The Surface Pro 3 is now optimized for a digital pen,
which is included.
But
That excellent keyboard cover is not included in the base price, and its
improved touchpad still doesn't measure up. The chassis lacks pen storage, and
even with tweaked kickstand and keyboard hinges, the Surface Pro 3 still
doesn't fit perfectly on the lap. The
Bottom Line While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date,
it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
