With full-PC power packed into it, the Slate takes mobility to a new level with an innovative touch-focused design that transforms personal computing and enables richer experiences, said a statement from Samsung.

It is 12.9mm (0.5”) thin, weighs 860g, and is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and with an 11.6” screen. When connected to a docking station, complete with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, the slate operates as a desktop PC, and it can also be removed and used as an ultra-portable device.

The notebook functions with Windows 7 operating system, providing users with a greater range of options ensuring optimised performance. It has a battery life of up to 7 hours on a single charge.

The docking station transforms the laptop into a full desktop PC, with all the power and productivity that its Intel Core i5 processor and Windows 7 operating system provides. It replaces the traditional desktop by providing the interface and computing power; it even gives users the flexibility to synch up to a larger monitor for even more efficient multi-tasking.

An integrated microphone and dual 2MP (front) / 3MP (rear) cameras can record audio/visual files, which can be stored and shared via the USB port or Wi-Fi, WiMAX and HSPA connection.
