Customer Review

I have had the Samsung Ativ Smart PC and the Lenovo IdeaPad Lynx in the last ~ 4 weeks. Previously I thought that the Convertible concept is a good mix of tablet and notebook, but I have now but decided to return both units and zuzulegen normal Ultrabook.

I regret to say to Ativ Smart PC that the processing has disappointed me in every aspect.
The tablet is made entirely of plastic, feels by the weight and the paint then but still acceptable (valent) on. The inserted pin is much too easy and above all much too small to comfortable to be in the hands (I know that the weight of a tablet should be rather low and should not be artificially increased by the pen, but also a certain "must haptics "to be there).
The Anstecktastatur is however technically processing the worst in the entire package. At the corners, they can be pressed, the touch pad (a "click-pad", ie the keys are integrated touchpad) sounds at each "click" in such a way as if you had just broken something, and the right button is often not recognized as a right rather than left. This means that you might just laboriously selected files that you copy (or whatever) just want to again deselects (example).
Moreover, in my model (as well as in many others) the keyboard-tablet combination was not sure and one example is so repeatedly interrupted while typing a text by the (now sadly very familiar) discounts and registration noise of Windows. In addition, the left speaker was after about 2 weeks to the Spirit and was only ugly croaking of itself.

The build quality in my opinion is simply outrageous for the price. Compared to the Lenovo Lynx has done some much better.

Positive I can still report: Despite the relatively weak Atom CPU, the device ran even with several applications open smoothly without crashes. I had installed on the device even Maple 15 (I need for the study) and had my doubts as regards in advance the performance, however, completely unfounded. Even more complicated calculations lasted only slightly longer than on my normal desktop PC (who has also been about 5 years under his belt, but is still perfectly adequate for my needs), Office ran well without any complaints.

I think the highlight is still very well-functioning pen operation. In tablet mode can be with the pin and the normal Windows interface operate very well, you have virtually no limitations with respect to a real mouse.

The tablet has not only 2 different keyboard layouts that can be displayed, but also a handwriting recognition. When enabled appear instead of the onscreen keyboard 2 lines, in which one handwritten writes the text with the stylus. I was surprised how well this works. I do not know if the system has my handwriting used to my handwriting or to the system, but after a relatively short time I was able to very pleasant eg chat. Longer texts are hereby not pleasant to write, but for short entries in the browser line, etc. It is a very good system.

Despite the positive points, I would not clearly recommend. As already mentioned, I had a trial basis, the Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx, this has unfortunately not (included) pen, I did not want to miss in a tablet. Who can do without the pen, is definitely in the Lenovo model better off, who needs a should test the Samsung device and decide for yourself whether you like it or not.

Lenovo way, there is a pen for ~ 30 to purchse, which you can then but not sunk into the tablet. Apparently this pen is not as accurate as the Wacom pens for example, when Ativ Smart PC are used to but I can not say anything because I have not tested it.
