The clamshell itself sounds hollow and rattly when you tap it (because it more or less is hollow, presumably), but the hinge is also built solidly. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but. The clamshell is actually a slightly different colour, and the mismatch makes it look kind of low quality, but then it is a budget machine. Keyboard also stopped working intermittently but the touchpad seems dead on keyboard. It won't win any design awards, but the build quality seems sufficient. But with its shell of blue plastic, with a brushed effect, it's more what you'd expect to see in a laptop than a tablet. Well, not all plastic - the multi-touch screen is glass. In terms of looks, the Samsung Ativ Smart PC is reminiscent of Samsung's Chromebooks - all plastic and rounded edges. And at 744g (1.65lbs), it's heavier than an iPad 4 or Google Nexus 10, though lighter than the Surface Pro. There were several updates on the drivers and bios, but I think they better keep working on it.It has to be said that this isn't the most portable tablet on the market - its relatively large screen means that it's not small at 296 x 184 x 9.9mm (11.6 x 7.2 x 0.38 inches), with its thickness rising to 20.5mm (0.8 inches)with the clamshell. There are also bugs in the drivers where the touch interface often stops working, especially in Skype. Now the bad things are obviously the slower CPU, and everywhere-glassy plastic feel. I really like the digitizer too since I also use OneNote 2010 on my x230t, which gets synched on the xe500t's OneNote 2010.īecause I don't have to worry about the battery life at all, sometimes I just keep it on, running a movie or something while working on my desktop or laptop. I can play movies on my 1080p TV using cheap hdmi cable, and after watching 4 hours of movies, it still has 60% battery left. All this while sipping very little power. I can listen to music and press the power button, and it's just like a smartphone.

Press the power button or standby in the Windows menu, and the screen turns off, but everything else is still going on in the background. It's like a cell phone (I actually charge my Galaxy Note every night), where it stays connected. I usually recharge the battery overnight, once in 1-3 days. The following components are installed according to the official Samsung Website: Intel AtomTM Processor Z2760 2GB of DDR2 Memory 64GB of eMMC Storage. After pressing the power button for up to 10 seconds nothing happens, the LED next to it is not lighting up at all. Probably due to that fact that I never blast the brightness because it'll hurt my eyes. Hello, my Samsung ATIV XE500T1C-A01DE Smart pc will not turn on. I got one of these from Staples for $600 when they first released it.
