A point to ponder, observations made with the tablet and keyboard attached, with the connection between keyboard and tablet, and compounded by the top-heavyness of the tablet:
And another:-
Source: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=34229717 from the Anandtech forum.

I reckon the Pro version uses the same connector as the normal Smart PC mode. Heads-up for potential buyers.

My recently sold Asus Transformer Infinity is weight-ratio-ed 1:1 as well between the tablet and keyboard, and beyond 90 degrees, the laptop configuration (tablet+keyboard) will have the tendency to topple backwards. On the Android OS it's running on, you mostly tap instead os swipe gestures on Windows 8. I'd foresee the swipe-up/down gestures on an over-tilted Smart PC Pro having similar tendencies to topple backwards as well.

I've tested the Pro model at LowYat Plaza's Windows 8 roadshow and it does show tendencies to topple backwards. Which is why at the roadshow, the unit was left on a slanted platform so as to NOT show this tendency much.

I was as excited as the next person when they announced it, I stayed up and followed the event announcement live. My interest was deflated when I saw the plastic build quality(made more evident at the roadshow on the silver color model), and the thickness of the tablet part disproportionate compared to the keyboard. I'd be more forgiving if the keyboard part has batteries on it, that will help extend the battery life and keep the whole laptop config (tablet+keyboard) center-weighted to avoid the toppling back.

The rest is history. If anyone follows the thread I made in this part of the forum, they'll know which hybrid I went for.

i am waiting for online review on the smart pro to go in further.... so far i was really impress by the sony duo 11..... it change my view on the tab though the weight is still a let down.

Maybe need to wait till Asus to come out with transformer to show the world how to make a tablet that can detach.

means this samsung not good ?

I have a Transformer Infinity before. It's light at 580g on both ends but it still has tendencies to tilt back depending on how angled back the screen is. I have not had any problems with the 128GB SDXC slotted into the keyboard side of the Infinity separated away from the tablet side, but talking from past experience on Windows devices, pulling external storage device without safely removing it would sometimes result in corrupted data. If you're just using the keyboard part as a keyboard I don't see any issue. But from the previous post I quoted, it sounds like the connecting mechanism is loose. Making that constant connect-reconnecting wear a heavy toll on anything connecting via the keyboard side, or even the keyboard itself. I ended up not removing the Infinity from its keyboard dock, and the "detach keyboard to make lighter" advantage doesn't really become advantageous at all.

I also have issues with the build quality, I have the SGS3 so I know how fond Samsung is with plastic. I don't mind much with plastic IF the processor running runs cool. SoCs running on SGS3 is low powered hence running cooler. Imagine your Intel Core i5 running in thin plastic enclosure. Recipe for disaster in the long run? There's a reason why most thin Ultrabooks uses aluminum/metal chassis.

oh i see .. so its plastic at the bottom ya . i never touch the device yet .. was planning to buy this or the sony one .. but sony one is a bit expensive . do u usually do extreme stuff on ur device . like the one u buy the sony one . u use it for heavy stuff or linear stuff ? .. so its a bad thing for this detachable keyboard thingy ??

I doubt it's the msian version. The one i tried at harvey norman has USIM slot beside the micro SD slot. Just slot in nano (??) sim card. And the tablet is in silver colour. I remember the sale gals mentioned samsung sent the wrong model, in black colour, to them and the silver ones should be the correct model.

means the black one is not the 3g one and the silver one is the 3g one ? man very confusing samsung sad.gif

Pre-ordered mine from Harvey-Norman (thanks in part to the extra warranty they promised). They said that the keyboard dock is included, and a variety of online stores here are saying the dock is included as well. Did the guy who bought from Lowyat get ripped off? Who knows, we'll have to wait and see for another week or so.  hmm.gif

i think he got rip off .. impossible if wanna add RM 400 for keyboard ..
