Samsung launches Windows 8 Smart PC convertible into Tablet

Samsung Electronics has launched its new Intel-powered ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro with new Windows 8 operating system into the Nigerian market.

Compact and portable, the smart PCs can easily transform from a traditional clamshell Notebook into a Tablet device with just the click of a button, maximising both productivity and mobility.

Moreover, with the smart PCs designed for Windows 8 with top-notch Samsung engineering’s ten-point touch screen, users can easily stay connected and productive from everywhere, the company says.

In addition, 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. Indeed, as easily as 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.

Folashade Oyelayo, Head of IT, Samsung Electronics West Africa, told newsmen at a 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.”

In corroboration, Seongwoo Nam, Executive Vice President, IT Solutions Business, Samsung Electronics, added: “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 with the most beautiful design, powerful performance and ease of use.”
