smartpcSamsung has launched the new ATIV brand for its range of smartphones, tablets and smart PCs running the highly anticipated Windows 8 operating system.

One of these products will be a new Smart PC which includes a tablet device which can also be docked with a keyboard to give it full laptop functionality.

There’s also a new Samsung ATIV S – a Windows 8 smartphone and the ATIV Tab – a 10.1 tablet also running Windows 8.

These devices can offer the full functionality of a tablet including touchscreen control and the ability to write on the screen with the included S Pen which was first introduced on the Galaxy Note smartphone.

And when you’re ready to go into laptop mode it’s simply a matter of clicking the bottom edge of the screen into the keyboard dock.
