What we like about Samsung Ativ Smart Pc 500t 4G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often reaching 9 to 14 hours on a single charge.
  • Runs full Windows 8, allowing it to support legacy desktop applications unlike Windows RT.
  • Includes a highly precise Wacom digitizer and S-Pen, which is excellent for note-taking and drawing.
  • Features a large, bright 11.6-inch PLS display with great viewing angles.
  • Equipped with a full-size USB 2.0 port on the tablet itself, enhancing connectivity.
  • Silent operation due to a fanless design.

What we don't like about Samsung Ativ Smart Pc 500t 4G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Intel Atom processor and 2GB RAM result in sluggish performance for demanding tasks like Photoshop or multitasking.
  • Build quality feels 'plasticky' and cheap compared to competitors like the Microsoft Surface.
  • Limited onboard storage, with only about 39GB actually available to the user after Windows 8 installation.
  • Reported issues with the device failing to resume from sleep mode, requiring frequent restarts.
  • The 16:9 aspect ratio makes it feel awkward and unbalanced to hold in portrait mode.
  • Keyboard dock (often sold separately) adds significant weight without providing an extra battery.

Verdict

The Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T 4G is an 11.6-inch Windows 8 tablet featuring a 1366 x 768 SuperBright Plus display and a 1.8 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 processor. This model is equipped with 2GB of LPDDR2 RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, and built-in 4G LTE connectivity alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Key characteristics include its lightweight 1.65 lb build, an 8MP rear camera with flash, and an included S Pen stylus with Wacom digitizer support for precise note-taking. Its main pros are the full x86 Windows compatibility, allowing it to run legacy desktop applications, and an impressive battery life reaching up to 14.5 hours. However, notable cons include sluggish performance under heavy multitasking, limited available storage due to the large OS footprint, and a plastic chassis that can feel less premium than competitors.
