so far the convertible tablets out there are a bit disappointing. They're either have minimum power, or when they have maximum power (maximum will have only Intel HD Graphic 4000), they only have 4.5 hours battery life. Even the one coming next year, the Microsoft Surface Pro has 4 hours battery life.

So it's either 8 hours battery life with minimum power or 4 hours battery life with maximum power.

if 4 hours battery life only, it will be worst comparing to ultrabook...

Then get the keyboard which has battery in it. Like acer, envy x2. Double battery life, if I'm not mistaken up to 18 hours in total.

ultrabook different. powerful ultrabook can easily last for 8 hours, but heavier, thicker and not convertible.

its dilemma for me now, either buy an ultrabook now or wait for better hybrid lappy to come out....

Samsung ativ pro is already launched, just not enough stock..

what is the MSRP??

Rm3,599

thanks bro, so is samsung ativ a good tablet/hybrid?

mahalnye......almost same price with Surface Pro

3.5k is too high for what it does. Try wait til more products come out

Just got acer iconia w700 so far loving it lol. Worth the wait and price tag <3

am waiting for intel haswell then will get a hybrid laptop ...

I do agree on this. Having a w700 for several weeks and so far I love this so much.
Those who can't shell out rm3.5k for Ativ Pro, I suggest going for w700, one is for the price, which beats the normal Ativ that only packs Atom, second this has a beautiful full HD screen and a very satisfactory battery life up to 8 hours.

Ativ PC Pro use full intel chip, I think i5, same as W700. The main difference is that Ativ pc Pro has digitiser interface, which is good for handwriting or for graphic artist. It will be good for photoshop user etc...

NOrmal ativ that uses Atom chip also comes with S-Pen (wacom) digitiser, its god sent for graphic artist.

Sony Vaio 11

The w700 comes with i3 only, but it is sufficient to run most of the stuff. The ATIV pro does pack much more such as Wacom digitizer, i5, keyboard dock and possibly microsd slot, but comes at a much pricier price tag of RM3.5k - 3.9k (with dock), while w700 is only around RM2.2k. I never tried the Ativ Pro myself but only the normal Ativ with Atom (RM2.5k), and I can say the w700 is much more worth the money than the normal Ativ with its build quality (aluminium) and full HD screen. If you have the money, I'll say go for the Ativ Pro since it has more functionalities.

Anyone know what windows 8 tablet have 3G sim slot? Same as Acer W501, but I want a latest one.

Ativ XE700T2C-H01MY is the model you should get, I am loving it every minute. Supports 3G and faster connections
with it's Sim card slot. Has so much power and the HD display is great. Initially wanted to wait for the wifi model with Keyboard but they said mid January 2013 -turn not wait that long sol took the sim card model without the Keyboard but I bought a dock unit From the USA and now have a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and I got A free microsoft multitouch mouse This makes for a potent combination. The great thing about the dock I bought is that it has a USB 2.0 usb port and Ethernet port at the back and you can charge the item and it acts as a stand at the, same time. The keyboard they supply does not have the network port and that costs RM 500, which is way too expensive. The dock/stand is Kinda cool don't you think so?

Compare auto the ACER W 700, this thing is quite powerful

Can you provide info link? I cant find it on google. Btw have you owned this unit? Care to upload some of yours?
