Samsung Electronics West Africa, acclaimed
global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, has
announced its new Intel-powered ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro based on
Windows 8.
These new products according to a
release, can easily transform from a traditional clamshell notebook PC to a
tablet PC device with just the click of a button, maximizing both productivity
and mobility.
The Samsung ATIV Smart PC runs on an Intel Atom Clover
Trail chip, much like the Asus Vivo Tab. The 32nm chip offers x86 performance
and compatibility, but the smaller DI size offers better performance and
improved power management, with Samsung promising up to 14 hours of battery
life.
Designed for Windows 8 with
Samsung’s advanced engineering and a ten-point touch screen, users can easily
stay connected and productive from everywhere.
Executive Vice President of IT
Solutions Business at Samsung Electronics, Seongwoo Nam said of the Smart PC: “We are
delighted to launch our new Windows 8 based ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC
Pro. With our leadership in design and technology and Microsoft’s leadership in
operating systems, together we are able to provide customers the most beautiful
design, powerful performance and ease of use.”
Combining revolutionary design, the
power of a notebook PC and the convenience of a tablet PC, the 11.6-inch Samsung
ATIV Smart PC is Samsung’s next smart device. This provides computing power
with Windows 8 functionality as well as full Windows 7 compatibility. The
device features a detachable keyboard-docking system that allows users to
easily switch between a clamshell notebook PC and a tablet PC form factor. This
device allows for great mobility with maximum productivity.
Head IT, Samsung Electronics West
Africa, Folasade Oyelayo, had noted at a media briefing in Lagos that Windows 8
Operating System is best experienced using the touch technology. To this end,
the advanced 10-finger multi-touch screen of the new ATIV Smart PC, provides a
technological leap in interactivity, surpassing the traditional two-finger
touch features. Its enhanced sensitivity allows users to pinch-to-zoom, rotate
images and scroll through pages with ease to enjoy the full
capabilities of the
latest entertainment applications.
Intel Nigeria Country Manager,
Olubunmi Ekundare stated that the ATIV device range is another exciting
innovation from Samsung that would create great experience for and engage
users. “At Intel we are glad to develop technologies that can power exciting
products and offers from our partners like Samsung to excite the end users in
Nigeria and worldwide. Globally, we support our partners with technologies that
can enhance the overall users’ experience and help people experience technology
better, “he noted.
In addition to commonly-provided
input methods, the ATIV Smart PC is equipped with the renowned S Pen,
delivering real writing and drawing experiences for maximum productivity, both
on the desk and on-the-go.
Just like using a pen or pencil, the
WACOM digitizer pen is capable of meeting the demands of professional designers
with its 1024-level pressure sensitivity. The pre-loaded S Note application
accompanies the S Pen to make writing and drawing as simple and intuitive as
possible.
The S Player ensures seamless
playback of images and videos in any format. This content is presented with
Samsung’s SuperBright 11.6-inch Full HD LCD display, producing the most vivid
colors and sharpness with 400nit brightness.
“The new Windows 8 operating system
delivers a fast and fluid experience, along with a new user interface that
responds equally well to touch as it does to keyboard and mouse.” said Mark.
Beautifully stylish and
ultra-portable, the ATIV Smart PC is only 9.9mm and 11.9mm thick and there is
no compromise on performance. The ATIV Smart PC’s Intel® Atom™ Z2760 processor
is a solid match for everyday productivity tasks.
Despite its compact and portable
form factor, the device feature USB 2.0(Smart PC), USB 3.0(Smart PC Pro),
mHDMI, miniSD and two extra USB 2.0 ports on the keyboard. To get the
experience going, the ATIV Smart PC has a battery life of up to 13.5 hours.
Elsewhere, there's Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G compatibility, and
All Share Play, Samsung's proprietary streaming and sharing service.
