electronics
giant Samsung announced a tablet, the ATIV Q, that runs on both Android &
Windows 8 operating systems. The device is the technology industry’s latest bid to
combine laptop with tablet, and works in four different configurations. “Addressing a common desire among PC users to be able
to access Android apps on a Windows-based PC, the ATIV Q allows you to now
experience both Windows 8 and Android Jellybean 4.2.2 on the same device,”
Samsung said. “Not only will you get access to Android apps via Google Play,
but you will also be able to transfer files or share folders and files from
Windows 8 to Android.”
The hinged Ativ Q allows users to lay the display flat
over the keyboard for tablet mode; raise the display upright to type as on a
laptop; ‘float’ and adjust the display to a comfortable viewing angle; or flip
the display to place in the stand mode to watch movies. It weighs 1.29kg and
measures only 13.9mm, while offering what Samsung claims is the world’s highest
resolution, QHD+ display. It uses 3200x1800pixels, with a 13.3-inch touch
screen providing 275ppi, which is 2.8 times higher pixel density.
Other devices announced by Samsung included the
successor to the Series 9 laptop, the Ativ Book 9 Plus, featuring a similar
resolution display but in a standard Windows 8 touchscreen laptop format and
claiming 12 hours of battery life in a 1.39kg package. The cheaper Ativ Book 9
Lite offers a touchscreen as an optional extra. (Telegraph)
