What we like about Samsung Ativ Smart Pc Pro WiFi (4GB + 256GB)

  • High-performance Intel Core i5 processor suitable for multitasking and demanding applications
  • Vibrant 11.6-inch Full HD (1080p) PLS display with excellent viewing angles and brightness
  • Highly accurate and responsive Wacom-powered S Pen stylus with 1,024 pressure levels
  • Detachable keyboard dock provides a comfortable, laptop-like typing experience
  • Includes a full-size USB 3.0 port and microSD slot for versatile connectivity
  • Fast boot times and overall snappy performance in the Windows 8 UI

What we don't like about Samsung Ativ Smart Pc Pro WiFi (4GB + 256GB)

  • Relatively short battery life for a tablet, typically ranging between 3 to 5 hours under load
  • Heavy and bulky design, making it difficult to hold as a standalone tablet for long periods
  • Plasticky build quality that feels less premium compared to competitors like the Surface Pro
  • The keyboard dock lacks an integrated secondary battery, which is common in other hybrid devices
  • High price point at launch compared to other tablets and ultrabooks
  • Top-heavy when docked, causing it to tip backward easily on uneven surfaces

Verdict

The Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro (700T1C) is a high-performance 11.6-inch Windows hybrid tablet featuring an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a spacious 256GB SSD. Its standout characteristics include a vibrant 1080p Full HD PLS touchscreen with 400-nit SuperBright technology and an integrated Wacom-powered S Pen that supports 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. Main pros include its versatile detachable design that converts into an Ultrabook-style laptop, fast boot times of approximately 8 seconds, and comprehensive connectivity with USB 3.0 and micro-HDMI ports. However, some cons include a relatively short battery life of around 4.5 to 5 hours, a somewhat heavy and plasticky build compared to rivals, and a trackpad on the keyboard dock that some users find over-sensitive or jumpy.
