Samsung ATIV Q Windows Laptop/Android Tablet


Samsung announced the launch of its new Samsung ATIV Q tablet that runs both Windows 8 and Android 4.2.2. The 13.3" panel features a 3200 x 1800 resolution (276 PPI). Impressive! Android runs in a VM on top of Windows 8. Networking, storage and CPUs are all virtualized resources. There's even a dedicated key on the keyboard to switch between OS's.  The Samsung  ATIV Q is powered by a Intel Haswell Core i5 processor, and features include 4GB of DDR3L, a 128GB solid state disk (SSD) and connections for USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI outputs are provided as well as 720p HD video and lastly a microSD card slot for expansion. Samsung says it'll get up to 9 hours of battery life. No available date for release or a price tag.  So the question would be: would this be something that you would want to give you the experience of working on a laptop, but also turning it into a portable Android tablet?
