Skytab-S
By leeanna
This is the first time I've written a full review of a product. First I'd like to say I Love my Skytab-S. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook Tablet PC that I have had for a couple of years and I love it to. Basically I was looking for something similar.
You can read the Specs for this device yourself. I installed Office 2010 Professional and it runs great. The touch screen is very responsive. Any stylus that can be used on an IPad works for this PC. I am writing this review with a stylus using the Windows 7 touch features. This allows you to handwrite on the screen. With the captive touch screen for writing, I noticed writing works best if the writing screen is as least halfway down the screen so other parts parts of your hand are not touching the screen.
The EXO Ul is really neat. I have the Windows 8 developer preview on another PC and really like this EXO UI much better. There are not a ton of apps available but you can put any website or program from your computer in the UI. There are customized icons you can place on the home EXO screen that when open tap them you go to another screen where you can place more apps.
When I started my Skytab the first time there were lots of updates to do, but it did not take long. The Skytab is pretty fast. Programs open quickly and the EXO UI is fast.
I have not tried the camera- I really have no need for it. The computer itself is very sleek. It does not get hot. The battery life is about 4 hours depending on what you are doing. It is about the size of the IPad and weighs about the same. Someone mentioned in another review the delay when you turn the Skytab, there is a delay of about 2-3 seconds.
For anyone trying to decide, I would recommend this PC.
If your just want games buy an Android or IPad.
This is a full Computer.

Great Computer but need improve Quality Control
By Robert Lannan
The Skytab S-Series,
Touchscreen: 4 Stars
It not an Ipad but it functions great, while the virtual keyboard takes some time to get uses to. Working with pictures and stuff with the touchscreen is very response and faster than I thought it would be. I tend to do allot work with photos, and lately I been getting into digital drawing. For this purpose it has been a wonderful device while for detailed work you may still want to use a Wacom device, while I think that a windows 7 issue not a device issue.
Computer System: 5 stars
The system itself operates at a good speed, and provides sufficient processing power to handle most activities. While I had very few moments when I needed more memory, using the ready boast does improve the performance enough to photo manipulation of 16 megapixels pictures which is my highest I work with. It runs all of my photo tools, and drawing packages without a hiccup. (Artrage Studio Pro, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, Gimp, etc.). I am not a gamer so I cannot speak to that aspect of the computer.
Portability: 5 Stars
This is where the Skytab shines; it can be used with the same portability of IPAD with all the power of a PC. With the stand it provides, watching movies is great on the road and turning into something like portable desktop is easy to. I found this aspect of the computer amazing, it completely blew my preconceived expectations out of the water. (I am actually willing to get rid of my IPAD)
Quality Control: 2 Stars
The system itself, I have nothing to report on in a negative manner. Yet, my first system arrived and it appeared to be a previous used system, with the user data still on the system, and the case had tendency of popping off on the top right corner of the system when in landscape. After exchanging it now I am using the second system and having issues with the battery charger/or port. When plugged in it may or may not charge, I have yet to be able to fully charge this one. Even with this experience I am willing go a third try because of the other positives and the product truly meets my traveling needs.
4+5+5+2 /4 = 4 stars based on my experience.
With stunning lines, a sleek design, powerfully fast performance, and
cutting edge technology, the Samsung Series 7 is a slate that does not
know the meaning of compromise. From the blazing fast processor to
innovative features such as Fast Start, you can get more done in less
time. Faster is Better
