Tablets are equally important, and Windows 8 and RT have been developed with tablets in mind.

The ATIV Tab uses Windows RT, the Windows 8 version for devices with ARM processors, in this case a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The device has a 10.1-inch LCD screen with a 1366-by-768-pixel resolution, 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 an 11.6-inch screen. The ATIV Smart PC is the simpler of the two, and has a new Atom processor.
