"Windows 8 RT could only run Metro apps, and not the typical x86 Windows desktop programs."
Above is a dealbreaker - as someone already commented. I turned from "reasonably interested" to "icecold" after that sentence. Pity.
office without macros and vb is useless for pros. This win RT is completely useless, Android is cheaper and more functional.
The first page, "at a glance" claims it has Adobe FLASH support. So, does it really support flash? That would be awesome...VS. ..it just being an oversized feature-phone online. :(
and the note 10.1 is the old A9
windows 8 is shit for performance.
well note 10.1 have ICS
so with Jelly bean, android completely oblirates windows8 RT.

GSMArena, can you name a few smartphones that are more powerful than the Snapdragon S4 Plus SoC that is in Ativ Tab? AFAIK S4-Plus is the latest iteration of the Qualcomm Snapdragon series.

x86 software doesn't run on this Ativ because it's arm based.
That's a great decision gsmarena. I'm really please that you would be reviewing pro tablets also. Thanks
I'm disappointed about the inability to run x86 based programs that would make it a super tablet, great device nonetheless I like it

Only disappointment is no x86 support that would make it a super tablet, could literally say goodbye to ultrabooks.... but let's hope the PRO version has it
Dear Samsung : what I need
A galaxy note with this form factor and with Windows8 ? Thx for your help,
A S-fan of the S-pen !
Now we are getting somewhere - voice call support is all that is needed. The pro version is really something to look forward to.
Dear GSMArena:
Why do you people still think that the Krait architecture is not powerful? This chip can run circles around some quad-core chips. Just because something is dual-core does not necessarily mean that it's not powerful.
Impressive, no doubt about it, especially the split-screen!
If only it could run the x86 apps...I guess I'll still wait for the Pro version..
Are you sure the battery is 8,200mAh Li-Ion as mentioned??
It would take days to charge... and weeks to discharge
I am slowly starting to change my mind and like Windows 8 RT! I still do not like the Metro-UI, but the performance and multitasking and free Microsoft Office and maybe even free Nokia Navigation on every Windows 8 RT and... looks very good!
Does it support Adobe Flash, because in the video it say it does not, but on the first page of the preview "Samsung Ativ Tab at a glance:" it say "Adobe Flash Player 11 support"? If Windows 8 RT support Adobe Flash then I really like it, because Adobe Flash was the biggest reason for me to choose Android, but now that support is more or less removed from Android then I too will probably leave Android if any other OS support full Adobe Flash within the webbrowser!
