I have smart pc right now. Wonder whether it's worthwhile to upgrade to its bigger brother?

Because it's an atom, power consumption and output is probably much lower than your old laptop.

Just went to Samsung mid valley but no stock!!

Tried Photoshop CS3, and it spasms when you use the pen. Touch works though. Weird. So anyone else has a working PS install on the Pro version?

SAI is actually working, just that launching Photoshop makes the driver go haywire and that was what made it not work before this.
Having to sign out to disable touch is annoying, is there an easier solution?

Currently playing CIV V Touch. It is awesome.

EDIT - while it was nice of them to include some extra nibs as per Wacom standard, I have to say the S-Pen is bloody small, even less comfortable to hold compared to my old tablet pc pen. Am now hunting for either a Thinkpad X60T pen or a proper pen from Wacom as alternative, as they have the eraser end as well.

mostly 80% wifi...

around 4 hours plus....

Anyone got any accessories for the Intel Atom model? A friend just bought one and really sayang to bring along without a proper casing...

She's loving it though.

Have you checked out the replacement S-Pens for the Galaxy Note Tab ? Hopefully the Wacom one will actually reach here this time.

Those who haven't bought and still waiting for the Ativ Pro, I would recommend you to wait for the Razer Edge.

2 differences.

no pen
screen resolution

Yeah, not really a direct competition.
Both have its pro and cons.

The Razer Edge tablet is for those looking for a great gaming experience on a tablet.
It is also much thicker and abit heavy than the Ativ Pro.

not only that.bigger screen size,rear camera and coming with keyboard.
ativ smart pc pro is ideal for average user and razer edge is ideal for gamer.

The only direct competition which is similar in specs would be the recently announced ThinkPad Helix. But ThinkPad = expensive

^
Don't forget MS Surface Pro

So much fail for a so-called gaming tablet.


Bought a micro to macro HDMI cable. Much easier for it to be plonked down in front of a TV to act as media center/console compared to a normal laptop.

I bought a samsung ativ smart pc 500T.

It was working alright until I updated the system BIOS version P06AAI.

The S Pen still work but now it cannot recognise my fingers touch sensor.

Anyone encountered this problem ?
