The ATIV Smart PC is really a harbinger of things to come. Users expecting a laptop may end up disappointed. Even the CPU, the Atom Z2760 (“Clover Trail”) is Intel’s attempt to take on ARM-based CPUs. The slender tablet, just 9.9mm thin, is only three ounces heavier than an iPad.
Sure, it’s got a nearly full-size keyboard, but the keyboard is included as a detachable accessory. Whether Samsung is trying to confuse buyers into thinking they’re buying a laptop, or can’t make up its mind what it is, the Samsung ATIV Smart PC is (mostly) a tablet.
