Comments about Samsung Series 7 11.6" Business Slate Tablet:
The Tablet is fast, light, and bright. The processing power is meeting our graphics requirements where other tablets fell short. The Series 7 boots quickly and is meeting our needs as a business level tablet that we are using as the user interface for a medical device.

Comments about Samsung Series 7 11.6" Business Slate Tablet:
I recently decided to go completely mobile, releasing my desktop PC and laptop PC into the wild...
I am VERY happy with my decision and the help of the Samsung Slate 7 because:
the solid state technology makes everything FASTER.
the few times I was mobile (with my former laptop) have become WAY more frequent with the Slate because its (optional) convenient port makes it VERY easy to pick up and go.
the Netgear N900 router I chose to link my external TB drive to is immeasurably convenient for storing locally (not in the cloud) and I have access anywhere I have internet access...which is everywhere as my Windows Phone has an internet sharing function with the 7.5 Mango release on my HTC HD7.
I have written notes at a conference already, "out of the box" as it were, and although the intuitive interface still needs to learn what words I write (technically speaking) it is FAST and easy to use right out of the box.
I previewed Windows 8 on this Slate and it seems like "Apps" will take the place of programs eventually, giving the desktop a view that looks like a Windows Phone - so convenient for global looks at all my notifications (weather, email, calendar, etc)
This is an AWESOME tool for making my computing life easier, faster, more convenient, and reliable.
I have not yet used the WiDi, which is one of the reasons I chose the i5 processor - the i5 has consisently performed way above my expectations, including streaming HD video through my 3G WP7/T-Mobile connection without flaw.
I also use a MUCH larger screen while at home and the processor has NO issues/delays/crashes since I've been using the optional dock port to link the HDMI screen sharing mode into the additional monitor.
There is one thing I'd like to see in a future release: removable, longer lasting battery - currently, it runs moderately-taxing processes with about a 4 hour battery life. It is part of my mobile life that I have long battery life - 6-7 hours is what I am used to, and having an already-charged, interchangable battery is important for staying mobile. The Slate DOES charge quickly (in about 30 mins), but I imagine that time will lengthen with more usage...
I only wish I had purchased the 128GB version (although I upgraded the removable microSD slot with an additional 64GB card) because moving all my programs to (even!) a 64GB HD seems to be filling up fast.
I cannot recommend this more emphatically than to say: GET ONE - you will not be disappointed!

Comments about Samsung Series 7 11.6" Business Slate Tablet:
This is one of the best tablet pc I have ever owned. The screen is ultra bright and clear. It has amazing fast speed start-up I have ever had. Opening photoshop cs3 application takes only 3 sec. Quite durable and slim. Attractive look. No cons for now. I was thinking to purchase non-business version samsung tablet pc, but b&h didn't have it in stock often, so i purchased business version by paying $50 more. Perfect for the replacement of my desktop when I am outside. It is Intel i5 with 4Gb Ram !!! you can't go wrong. I love it.
