Samsung has announced the ATIV Q, a device that combines a Windows 8 laptop with an Android tablet.

Born of the tablet family, the ATIV Q allows users more flexibility than ever to adapt the device to fit any situation, posture or environment. Built with today’s evolving consumer lifestyles in mind and usable as a notebook or tablet, it delivers on the ATIV promise to make work more seamless and life more convenient.

Features:
• Enjoy Android Apps on Windows: Addressing consumers’ desire to access Android apps on a Windows-based PC, the ATIV Q allows users to experience both Windows 8 and Android (Jellybean 4.2.2) on the same device. Users will not only get access to Android apps via Google Play but also be able to transfer files, sharing folders and files from Windows 8 to Android, truly marrying the mobile and PC experiences.

• Versatility to Suit Any Environment or Needs: The ATIV Q sports an innovative hinge design that allows the user to transform the tablet into 4 functional modes. Lay the display flat over the keyboard for tablet mode. Raise the display upright to type just like 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 with ease. The four-in-one design of the ATIV Q easily adjusts to give users all the options they need in one device. ATIV Q is also extremely thin and lightweight for optimum portability. At 1.29kg and only 13.9mm, it’s easy to take everywhere you go.

• The Ultimate Viewing Experience: The ATIV Q introduces the world’s highest resolution, QHD＋ (3200x1800) display. The tablet’s 13.3-inch touch screen offers 2.8 times higher pixel density (275ppi) than full HD displays for viewing the finest of details. ATIV Q is also designed to provide an optimized viewing experience regardless of location and high brightness in outdoor environment.

I am a fan of innovation! If that is the definition, then I guess I must be a Samsung fan?

Anything tablet that has a keyboard should not be considered a tablet. But it seems that no matter how hard you try it always goes back to needing a keyboard.

I like the concept, I just hate the Android and Windows. worst combination for me. I would buy a Mac OS X and iOS one though. Running your Apps store and Apple store apps on the same device. Reminds me of that HTC Shift that ran windows and windows CE/Mobile.

will never happen due lack of innovation and profit margin

I hear apple in the distance saying this is a ridiculous idea and then doing the same with osx and ios next year and calling it gold.

Here it is folks: You heard it first at iclarified: The Extra Super New Ipad X - OSX & iOS - All in one!

if this thing got enough memory and 3G or LTE I'm getting one for sure.

odedoo1 - June 20, 2013 at 10:06pm

Now all they need to do is add iOS and we'll have the best platform ever!!! And I Want One.

My god! That's even more stupid than usual. A laptop that you can flip the screen away from the keyboard. Why not put the keyboard upside-down facing the tabletop, as well? :)

odedoo1 - June 20, 2013 at 10:08pm

you can do anything you feel like, even take the screen apart and have a tablet, it's a beautiful design!

I guess you are not used to having choices on how to use a product. It might not be a killer function but it is there for you to use or not to use. Your choice!
