Since Windows 8’s release, manufacturers have been struggling to create the perfect form factor for their products. We take a first look at the tablet hybrid Samsung ATIV Tab 7 that just arrive in our labs, the ATIV Tab 7 is a Windows 8 Pro tablet which allows you to switch between tablet and laptop usage, just like ASUS’s Transformer tablets.
The model that we’ve got is the HSPA version – XE700T1C-H01MY. First impressions of the tablet is that it is heavy and it definitely will not win any beauty contest, however, we noticed some great usability when carrying the ATIV Tab 7 around with us, for those ‘speccy’ people, below is the hardware that powers this bad boy :-
