Samsung's new mobile hybrid notebook
SAMSUNG has launched a new HD hybrid notebook tablet with built-in 4GLTE mobile internet.
Aimed primarily at mobile professionals, the 11.6-inch notebook has a fully-detachable keyboard, so that the computer can be used as a lightweight Windows tablet.
The device is sold with a keyboard dock that allows individuals to use the machine like a notebook, a pressure-sensitive digital pen for writing or drawing and a full HD display.
It weighs less than 2kg, offers 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD hard disk, meaning that boot-up and shut-down times are cut to a minimum, while operating speed is optimised.
The ATIV 700T can be equipped with support for AT&T's 4G LTE, which was notably absent on older models and made the hybrid device less suitable for business customers who are frequently on the move.
