Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC (Black):
This isn't an like other tablets. This is a real computer for when you need to get things DONE. This is a tool for professionals. It syncs with my desktops happily, so my files are with me where ever I go. When I need to work on a document, whatever it is, the Slate runs it fine. Microsoft Office, Autodesk Revit, Photoshop, InDesign - whatever I would formerly need to sit at my desk to do, I can do on-the-go.I thought it a gimmick at first, but the fact it bundles a Wacom digitizer pen is fabulous. I can sign PDFs, sketch, write notes... anything. Window's ability to decipher my handwriting has been amazing - far superior to pecking at on-screen keyboards. The inclusion of Swype was a nice touch, though.Even though the Slate is all business, it's bloody quick. No waiting for it to recover from sleep, so it's perfect for jotting notes, or playing a game/watching a flick while in line.The cons: The bundled "update" software can be annoying, and the backup partition is a waste of space. A few tweaks, and it's good to go, so no losing stars for this. Battery life isn't as good as it might be, but for the performance garnered, I can't complain too much.I do wish the dock and case were bundled with the device. I take a lot of photos and use peripherals, so I would've much rather seen a second USB port, and a SD slot instead of microSD. Now we're getting into wishlist territory instead of actual cons, but it would be perfect if those items were included.Yes, it's pricey. And I had my doubts about ordering. But, it's proven itself and I'd absolutely buy it again. Bonus: I get to laugh at my girlfriend's tablet when it can't play Flash, a website doesn't show up correctly, or it just can't cope. Hm. It's almost worth the fifth star just to be able to dole out smug looks...

If you are looking for a laptop replacement tablet you are looking at the right item. This series 7 slate does everything I need, which is quite a lot. I do a lot of 3D rendering and this product holds up nicely. The only real problem I have with it is the price, but if you look at this as a laptop and not a tablet the price seems a bit more justified.

This tablet is great for what I wanted it for and I am building a "touch enabled" spreadsheet to use in the field. I have seen the same tablet loaded with Win8 and it is even more useable (my brother is an IT guy and has the prerelease candidate).
Powerful, boots in no time, uses nearly no power when in sleep mode and wakes in about 3 seconds.

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC (Black):
My desk top motherboard went kaput and I thought about getting a laptop to replace it I was also keen on a tablet or an e-reader. Then I found the windows slate. It is powerfull enough to plug into my 22" monitor and replace my desktop. I have plugged in a usb hub and two external hard drives (one converted from my desktop), a dvd writer my existing key board and mouse all go into the dock. When I want a laptop I remove it from the dock and use the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. As a tablet I use the touch and stylus. With the Kindle software I have an e-reader. Seeing as its windows based I have all the software I need already.
Also super service from B&H especially as I live in Canada.

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC (Black):
I use this product for on location support for a DSLR.
It is great for tethering and live view with USB
Extremely accurate screen that I can even calibrate with my Datacolor Spyder 4 Pro.
Windows & OS lets me run professional software.
Runs Lighroom and Photoshop remarkably well for such a compact device.
Wacom pen support with pressure sensitivity makes it easy to do retouching on the road or simply previewing retouching to a client on set.
Far more useful than the iPad.

This is the fastest tablet I have ever seen. Boots up windows in about 12 seconds. The only tweak needed is to trim the recovery partition (20gb).

Comments about Samsung 128GB Series 7 Slate 11.6" Tablet PC (Black):
Wonderful device. It comes with windows 7. I created a new partition without deleting the original and installed a second bootable Windows 8 Consumer Preview. This computer is designed for windows 8, metro interface, easy access to desktop and running programs with just a single swipe. If enabled, during boot it asks for boot from windows 7 or windows 8. When you switch on it almost runs instantly, no delay on bios. Also i bought a 100 gr keyboard called Rii Mini... Using a case logic neopren case, keyboard and its digital pencil fits inside compactly. I look forward for GPS and Sim Card version, these have been disabled under empty slot. MKV 1080p videos work smooth and with bright colours.

Small , very protable , amazing screen , very fast boot-up ; this thing has got it all . After using a convertable for the last few years , this is heavenly . I have one query : What took them so long to come up with this one ?
This a definite buy for an individual who understands the value of a Windows Slate !
