from where did you buy this toy?

The ppl who preorder in ikano with RM3599 comes with the keyboard and comes with Windows 8 Standard

Your package RM3499 comes with Windows 8 pro (RM400++ more than Windows 8 standard), so it makes fair deal too.

those on win8 can upgrade to win8 pro.

For a limited time, u can get Windows 8 Pro Pack for $69.99 (about RM210), valid until January 31, 2013.

yup its kinda funny .. Cheap stuff got KEYBOARD .. but EXPENSIVE stuff have to bloody wait .. oh they said 2 weeks also ya . same like the day i was in Sabah they said Samsung got f*** up with the keyboard thingy they said and have to wait for the keyboard to arrive . but they say wanna give me the microsoft wedge shit thingy .. btw i didn't buy it because of the no keyboard have to wait 2 weeks thingy .. hope to see the ativ pro with keyboard this saturday . if else i just might go for the SONY VAIO DUO 11 or worst next year ..

I got few pms asking me where i purchased the Samsung Ativ. Asked favour from my friend local distribotor here in kuching. Maybe those who ordered from ikano can share their info here.

Ill only be back in kl next month, i dont want to wait.

Fyi, after couple of hours handling the device. I do notice the backside is moderately warm.

seriously man?i actually called HN today and they confirm that the pro version does not come with keyboard but the non pro comes with keyboard. i wanted to preorder but they are not sure when stock to arrive..but they dont mind to receive preorder

Does it really worth to upgrade to Windows 8 pro? Any significant features?


Perhaps it only applies to those who pre-ordered during the roadshow?

Congrats to you with your new toy.

BTW, you bought it from Kuching ?

Like what string has mentioned, think about how you'll be using the device in order to decide if its right for you. Cost wise there's not much difference between Sony and Samsung, so its a matter of deciding..
- do you want an N-Trig or Wacom digitizer?
- do you want a device with a built in digitizer storage or not?
- would you like the capability of a removable keyboard?
- can you stand the feel of that plastic?

And be aware of the reported glitches. From Hardwarezone SG forum:-

The unstable docking further compounds the problem with external storage connection via its USB2.0 connection. You dont want your external drive disconnect/reconnecting would you? Not to mention the keyboard itself too. Keyboard disconnect/reconnect, virtual keyboard pops up and down. Sounds fun.

hmmm

- anything would do
- digitzer storage means fizikal or dropbox thingy
- iwant a removable keyboard
-no problem with plastic

u using sony also rite ? .

if the keyboard does not come with the package, i rather buy the Microsoft Wedge Keyboard with its stand case..

Digitizer as in can you keep the pen inside the device or not. You have a slot in the Samsung, where as for the Sony you need to by the extra battery to get that capability.

My target is the Samsung.

Official specs for Malaysian model.

Nope, keyboard not listed there, though mentioned in the 'features'.

it is quite biased since a lots of the picture attached with the keyboard

hehe more like a work station than a toy. Its a little effort to get used to especially without docking keyboard..just another 2 more weeks .

They have started selling in Kuching but the 500T version.

u mean moderately heat as how panas is it ? .. how do u upgrade to pro ? btw are u satisfied with this tablet ?

I'm interested to get the 500T in Kuching, may I know which shop it is that is selling?

Extra:
Reason for going for non Pro is simply because of budget and Intel Clover Trail is enough for my work. I'm only doing simple programming, photoshop and web reading. Heavy gaming goes to my laptop. I wonder if the 500T can run games like MapleStory though?

Search Youtube - there is a gaming performance review video.

Will Photoshop be able to run smoothly on the Atom processor?
