29.08.2012

The ATIV Tab uses Windows RT, which of course means that it is powered by an ARM processor. The device has a 10.1-inch screen, weighs 570 grams and is 8.9 millimeters thick. That compares to the new iPad, which weighs from 652 grams and is 9.4 millimeters thick.

Users can attach a keyboard and other peripherals using the included USB and HDMI ports. Just like the ATIV S, the Tab has NFC integrated.

For users who prefer Intel-based processors and Windows 8, the ATIV Smart PC and Smart PC Pro both have keyboards that can be attached magnetically to the screen. They have also inherited the S Pen from the Galaxy Note-family, which allows users to write directly on the screen.

The ATIV Smart PC Pro is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and has a 11.6-inch screen. The ATIV Smart PC is the simpler of the two, and has a new Atom processor.

Meanwhile, on the Android side, the Galaxy Note II has a bigger screen and a faster processor than its predecessor tablet, while the Galaxy Camera has 16-megapixel resolution and an optical zoom.
