CES 2011 – Samsung Sliding Tablet/Computer Combo

January 7, 2011 by Jenn Castillo

Samsung took the stage at CES to demonstrate their Sliding PC 7 Series convertible tablet, answering the call of would-be tablet buyers for a functional keyboard. In its simplest state, Samsung’s first sliding PC looks much like a normal tablet and is equipped with multitouch (up to ten fingers). If more heavy-duty typing is called for, the face slides back and tilts up to reveal a full qwerty keyboard, turning the device into a miniature computer.

The 7 Series runs Windows 7 on a 1.66 GHz Intel ATOM Oak Trail processor, comes with 2 GB of RAM, and has SSD storage in 32GB or 64GB. It has a battery that will last you 9 hours, plenty of time for a flight or road trip. Other features include a 1.3 MP webcam, a 4-in-1 card reader, USB 2.0, HDMI video output and a 10.1 inch display.

The new Sliding PC is set to arrive in March for just under $700 bucks, making it a comparable alternative to their Galaxy Tab if you really do miss the keyboard.

    Hello Jenn,
    thank you for an interesting story from the International CES.

    I’m curious. What does one need a tablet for if one already owns a smartphone? Or does the tablet replaces the smartphone in the long run?

    Take care and greetings,
    nick

      Personally Nick? I don’t need a tablet. I have a portable computer and a mobile phone which combine forces to take care of all of my needs! Some argue that using a mobile phone just doesn’t cut it if you need a mobile, lightweight device for productivity applications like word processing. You can think of a tablet as a really feature-rich smartphone, or a very small computer.
