Not impressed overall...

I bought the ATIV because I wanted something to take on my 2 week study trip that would be smaller than my laptop but still be full of features. My plan was to use it to play movies, take notes, write emails, and other basic functions. I was underwhelmed by the Samsung as a whole.
Pros:
  • Runs a full version of Windows 8
Cons:
  • Just doesn't excel in any field

Great hybrid tablet. Good value for mobile productivity and light gaming

I bought this because I was looking for thin/light tablet to replace my current ipad/laptop combo. I needed a tablet with full Windows 8 so that I could run older programs and games.

Amazing Device

Awesome mobile device so far. Crisp clear screen and very responsive for only having an Atom processor and 2GB of RAM. Battery life is amazing and integration with all of my other Samsung devices on my home network is really cool. Finally a tablet that does everything ... No compromises.

Samsung ATIV Smart PC review

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. Sure, it’s got a nearly full-size keyboard, but the keyboard is included as a detachable accessory.

Samsung ATIV Smart PC Review

When a mobile carrier like AT&T picks up a device for sale that's as massive as the Samsung ATIV Smart PC with Windows 8, you've got to wonder who would be heading out to the same location they picked up their smartphone to pick up a PC.

Hands-on Review: Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T

Microsoft's new Windows 8 isn't sure if it's a tablet OS or a computer OS. But the Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T (about $700) has no such doubts: it comes with no keyboard. For better or worse, it's a true Windows tablet. And, as it turns out, a very good one.

Will require mind bending

The evaluation has more to do with the new Windows 8 rather than the Samsung Ativ itself. The device is very well designed, very light, the colors on screen are beautiful, the screen responds quickly. The only negative I've seen so far is that writing tends to get blurred when scrolling.
Pros:
  • Adequate Storage
  • Compact Design
  • Fast
  • Good Compatibility
  • Great Software Bundle
  • Long Battery Life
Cons:
  • Difficult To Use
