http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/20/samsung-announces-the-ativ-q-a-13-3-inch-windows-8-tablet-that-runs-android/

 

 

From a spec standpoint, the ATIV Q sports a 13.3-inch QHD+ display with a crazy resolution of 3200×1800 (that’s 275ppi). The tablet also has an Intel Core i5 processor with Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4GB RAM, 128GB sold state hard drive, a camera that can shoot 720p video, 9 hour battery life, and a variety of ports.

ATIV Q

Samsung launches the ATIV Q – a truly convertible device with the ability to change modes and the power to enjoy both Windows and Android. Born of the tablet family, the ATIV Q allows users more flexibility than ever to adapt the device to fit any situation, posture or environment. Built with today’s evolving consumer lifestyles in mind and usable as a notebook or tablet, it delivers on the ATIV promise to make work more seamless and life more convenient.

  • Enjoy Android Apps on Windows: Addressing consumers’ desire to access Android apps on a Windows-based PC, the ATIV Q allows users to experience both Windows 8 and Android (Jellybean 4.2.2) on the same device. Users will not only get access to Android apps via Google Play but will also be able to transfer files to share folders and files from Windows 8 to Android, truly marrying the mobile and PC experiences.
  • Versatility to Suit Any Environment or Needs: The ATIV Q sports an innovative hinge design that allows the user to transform the tablet into four functional modes. Lay the display flat over the keyboard for tablet mode. Raise the display upright to type just like a laptop. Float and adjust the display to a comfortable viewing angle. Or flip the display to place in the stand mode to watch movies with ease. The four-in-one design of the ATIV Q easily adjusts to give users all the options they need in one device. ATIV Q is also extremely thin and lightweight for optimum portability. At 1.29kg and only 13.9mm, it’s easy to take everywhere you go.
  • The Ultimate Viewing Experience: The ATIV Q introduces the world’s highest resolution, QHD+ (3200×1800) display. The tablet’s 13.3-inch touch screen offers 2.8 times higher pixel density (275ppi) than full HD displays for viewing the finest of details. ATIV Q is also designed to provide an optimized viewing experience regardless of location and high brightness in outdoor environments.

Is this using an emulator? Can't be native dual boot... can it?

It sounds like it does.

Pretty cool to me.

You get a great tablet device with Android and Google Play as well as a pure laptop with Windows 8.

pure win.



Gotta love Samsung. Adding shit no one wants just for the sake of it. Looking at you S4.



That thing must be expensive as hell (that resolution is very high for a convertible). But I really like the idea of it having two OS.

You can play as an octopus, though!

Probably. But more than likley this will be a near $1000 device which is right in-line with other win8 tablets.

hmmm I looked some stuff up http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130619PD222.html

Microsoft's Windows RT operating system may fall to the same fate as Hewlett-Packard's (HP) webOS as most brand vendors have already stopped developing related products, leaving Microsoft's second-generation Surface RT, the only Windows RT-based device in the next-generation tablet competition, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

Microsoft is also having trouble gaining growth in the smartphone industry, the company currently only has less than 1% and 3% shares in tablet and smartphone markets, respectively, the sources said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's bad if there are no new RT devices... and the second part is just sad.. there should be room for a third OS..

Interesting info. But I figured it would die off. I personally don't see why they were diverging their OS like that anyways.
