Giz Wiz Video Of The Week: Yet another new tablet from Samsung!

Samsung is on a roll-out roll! They’ve been releasing an amazing amount of interesting products in the past several months. At June 20^th’s Pepcom Event in NYC, I got to see the 1^st US showing of the new Samsung Ativ Tab 3 Windows 8 tablet. A Samsung spokesman said the Ativ Tab 3 is the world’s thinnest Windows 8 tablet. It sure looks thin, measuring only 0.32-inch thick. It’s no heavyweight either at 1.2 pounds, with polycarbonate construction for ruggedness. An Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor powers it. There’s 64GB of storage, and if that isn’t enough, there’s the welcomed SD card slot. You can use that to add yet another 32GB of storage. An interesting feature the spokesman showed me was Samsung SideSync. This lets Samsung phones users display and share data between the tablet and their Samsung phone. The Ativ Tab 3 also supports the built-in, slide-out S Pen, Samsung's own high-tech stylus. The tablet comes bundled with Office 2013. For the North American Market, the Samsung spokesperson said it will ship with the fitted case and built-in Bluetooth keyboard you see in the video. In addition to the microSD card slot, there’s a micro HDMI and a micro USB 2.0 port. The price is expected to be $699, including the keyboard/case.
