The editors didn't like
Very short battery lifeHeavy and bulky for a tabletNo full-sized SD slot
Larger and heavier than most tablets
Noticeable lag when rotating display
Expensive
Below-average battery life
Fan can be noisy
Too big and awkward to hold for long periods
Poor sound-recording capabilities
No tether or storage for stylus
Without the dock and keyboard
The tablet loses some of its functional appeal
Not cheap
But you do get what you pay for
Fan runs almost all the time
Heat exhaust vent impedes use in portrait mode
Windows remains a struggle with a penandfinger interface. Samsung's Tabletesque addon is only threequarters baked. Dock and wireless keyboard cost extra. Tepid battery life of about 4.5 hours
Onscreen typing is finicky and headache-inducing. The sold-separately dock and keyboard are practically required

The 11.6-inch Samsung Series 7 Slate PC offers Core i5 power, a touch-friendly interface, and useful accessories, but the tablet experience is not the best you can get for your money.

The Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is the fastest Windows 7 tablet we've tested, and paired with its optional accessories, it provides a very laptop-like experience, but one marred by the typical awkward onscreen Windows typing experience.
Abstract: A detailed comparison of the 3 major tablet platforms: iOS, Android and Windows 7. We look at the iPad 2, Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime and Samsung Series 7 Slate. All weigh under 2lbs. and have capacitive multi-touch displays (the Samsung has a digital ...
Abstract: The Samsung Series 7 Slate is a Windows 7 tablet with a touch screen and active digitizer with EMR pen. The tablet has an 11.6″, 1366 x 768 display and it runs on a second gen ULV 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 CPU with 4 gigs of RAM. It comes with a 64 or 128 gig ...
Good design, Low weight for the size, Good battery life,
Heat issues hamper performance, Nowhere to store the stylus, Samsung overlay software is slow, System image rather than factory recovery isn't great,
Samsung's Windows slate doesn't live up to the performance promise....

Abstract: Calling Samsung’s 11.6-inch Series 7 device a ‘tablet’ feels inaccurate. Yes, it uses the same form factor as devices like the Apple iPad and Samsung’s own Galaxy Tab, but it’s really not comparable. For now, we’re just going to use Samsung’s term: the...
The Samsung Series 7 Slate is a sleek and powerful piece of hardware that will serve you well if you can bear its relatively high cost, and you can't wait for the wave of Windows 8 tablets due to arrive later this year. If you need to run Windows progr...
Lightweight tablet PC, with combined touch and pin input. Large, bright screen and a powerful processor
Lack of I/O ports unless you use a docking station, nowhere to tuck the pen
The best Windows tablet yet? Fast, light and with responsive touch, long battery life and a full PC experience. It's also ready for Windows 8. What you pay is a full PC price though....
