The stylish, ultra-portable and lightweight Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC is only 0.5-inches thick and it features a user-friendly, office software ready Genuine Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit) operating system. The tablet is highlighted by a brilliant 11.6" TFT color LCD multi-touch display that supports 10-finger touch and digitizer pen interaction, as well as a rich 1366 x 768 native resolution. The high-definition display uses SuperBright Plus technology, which boosts its brilliance by 36 to 50% over conventional LCD tablet displays. The bright, crisp picture quality makes gaming more intense, movies more life-like, video-chatting more like talking face to face, and surfing the Internet more satisfying.
In order to provide users with the ability to enjoy smooth multitasking and seamless page and task transitions, Samsung armed the Series 7 Slate with a powerful 1.6GHz Intel i5-2467M processor. The tablet also affords 4GB of DDR3 memory for those of us that like to play, shop and work all at the same time. Plus, with an integrated 128GB solid state drive (SSD), you'll have plenty of dependable media and file storage for everything from music and movies to business presentations. An 128GB SSD ensures that you'll be able to comfortably load all the songs, videos, eBooks, games, documents and photos you'll need for even the longest business trip or family vacation.

For connectivity, the Series 7 Slate features 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi wireless Internet access. All you need is a WiFi hot-spot or your own wireless home network. It's Bluetooth-enabled as well, supporting Bluetooth 3.0 + HS. The tablet is even WiDi capable, which means that it supports wireless HDMI audio and video connectivity between it and your compatible HDTV. There's also a wired LAN connector port available if you have the optional docking station (sold separately). Conveniently, the tablet is also equipped with a micro HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port, a dock station connector port and a headphone output / microphone input combo jack. Plus, for memory expansion, there's even a microSD memory card slot.
As an added bonus, the Series 7 Slate features front and back HD cameras, as well as exclusive Fast Start technology. Fast Start lets the tablet go from hybrid sleep mode to fully operational in as little as two seconds. Another highlight of Samsung's lightweight tablet is its ability to support so many user interfaces. Its main interaction interface is via the magnificent 10-finger multi-touch screen. The touch screen also supports digitizer pen interaction, for writing directly onto the screen. Even notebook-style keyboard interaction is supported by the Series 7 Slate when using the optional docking station and wireless keyboard (both sold separately).

I am a designer and I purchased S7S mainly for digital sketching and rendering purpose. My review will be focusing on that.
Before purchasing S7S, I have read so many positive and negative reviews and tried to decide between ASUS ep121 and S7S. Some of my friends already own EP121 so I could get my hands on those tablets and I knew it is pretty good tablet but I had no chance to try S7S. All I could was to watch youtube review and read forums. I found some people actually having consructive problems with S7S and some technical issues (like pressure sensitivity). And I read some postings that people actually return as well. But I also read some good reviews how fast the tablet is and more.
Anyway I decided to try and if I dont like it I was going to return. So I bought the tablet. Unlike I was worried, the build was sturdy and I had no problem with pressure senstitivity with Photoshop and Sketchbook designer right out from the box. (I didnt have to install additional Wacom driver or ASUS driver to make it work.) I have Wacom Intuos 4 which is over 2000 level sensitivity and S7S is about 200 levels I think. The 200 levels pressure sensitivity is good enough for any painting. My Intuos4 served me really well with all my works but it is time to sell it soon. Bye Bye Intuos4 :)
It is Windows based so you can use it like your regular laptop or computer. The OS is not meant for touch interface so I sometimes press wrong icon when I navigate internet but not a big deal for me. The touch response is very good. I cant wait for Windows 8 though.
The battery life is very good. After fully charged, I opened Photoshop and Sketchbook Designer and also Illustrator for my project. It is a heavy load as you can tell. I could sketch and render straight for about 5~6 hours with fully loaded and still 10% battery life remained.
The only bad thing is it doesnt have stylus holder. You will need a case with pen holder. I bought Samsung stand case with pen holder for S7S. I like the material and build quality but not so satisfying though.
Bottom line is...I dont regret buying this tablet and I recommend to any digital artists who want to sketch and render on the go. Oh and this tablet doesnt lag like EP121.

I chose this product because I thought it was a business class product and I need its advertised features for my Property Inspection business. Unfortunately, I am very unsatisfied with several of the features that are necessary for my work, and therefore, I feel that I wasted the high price I paid for this Tablet PC. The 128 GB SSHD and the OS Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit and the 4 Gigabyte of RAM are perfect. However, the built in battery is not a good feature. It runs the computer for about 6 hours. In my line of work, the majority of the time, it is necessary to run the computer on battery power for 8 to 12 hours. If the battery were an external removable battery, when it would run down to empty, I would be able to replace it with a second battery. Also, when it is necessary to shut the computer down and recharge the battery, there is no external indicator that the battery is charging, nor one that indicates that the battery is fully charged, nor one that indicates that the AC adaptor is connected to the computer. In addition, there is no strap to attach the computer to your hand so it can be safely carried in one hand while freeing up the other hand for other purposes, and there is no provision to attach the Digitizer Pen to the computer. Unfortunately, I am sad to say that this product did not meet the expectations I was lead to believe from my extensive research and the advertising of the product.
Pros: Built-in speakers and mic, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight.
Cons: Did not meet my expectations, built in battery, no indicator of full charge when the computer is off, full charge battery does not last long enough, too expensive, no way to strap computer to your hand while carrying it, there is no holder for the digitizer pen.

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC:
I love this tablet. I have loaded my business applications on it and they run exacly identical to my notebook. Ive used the WiDi to stream full size videos to my big screen TV and its like having a super remote for it. Ive owned the Xoom for a couple of years and this thing runs circles around it. It is pricey but in this case you really do get what you pay for.

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC:
I was looking at tablets because they seem so much easier that lugging around a laptop, but I wanted the full power of a pc. I have found it all in this tablet pc! I love this thing! The battery last about three hours with constant use. I like the screen bright, so some power saving features could probably prolong that time. The speakers sound great. The touch screen and digitizer pen work well. I also bought the optional dock, wireless keyboard and portable DVD R/W player. And all this fits in my purse!

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC:
The Samsung Series 7 Tablet PC has increased my productivity. I was looking for a tablet or laptop that would be easy to carry anywhere and I found it! This thing fits in my purse, but yet is a total replacement for my pc. The touch screen has spoiled me. The digitizer pen that come with works well. I also bought the optional dock, wireless keyboard, and portable DVD R/W player. The battery last about three hours for my typical use. So I plug it in when at my desk (or near a plug). The recharging time seems reasonable. I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but already I am so happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone who is torn between a tablet and a laptop.

I bought this specially to use on my numerous trips away from base. I like the style of Samsung, but, as expected, a little too clumsy compared with android based tabs. But that's the difference, when I need a full computer at my disposal.

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC:
We travel a lot and carrying around a full size laptop gets real old. This Samsung Slate offers a full PC laptop in a very small package. The 11.6 inch screen is remarkably crystal clear and the Windows 7 Professional software runs all of our programs quickly. It weighs less than 2 pounds and is small enough to go anywhere. It is a bit expensive, but well worth the extra to get the full PC in a small package. I kept waiting for the price to come down and finally bought one. I should have bought it sooner knowing how much we love this tablet. It is a must for any business traveler who is tired of laptops.
