a full HD 11.6 inch screen which is also able to boot Windows 10 or Android 4.4 (5.1 expected). There were several updates on the drivers and bios, but I think they better keep working on it. Samsung ATIV smart PC 500T Specifications and information. 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. Probably due to that fact that I never blast the brightness because it'll hurt my eyes.
I got one of these from Staples for $600 when they first released it.
