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
  • Reflective front face-plate
  • Very warm upper edge
  • Errors with the stylus

  • Abstract:  Tablet PCs are a dying breed, and Windows 8 is still at least a year away. Until we see what Microsoft's next operating system has to offer, one tablet PC shows us why this form factor is still a winner. Samsung's Series 7 11.6" Slate breaks the mold. ...

  • PLS screen (wide viewing angles), good contrast (790:1), Decent battery life (4 hrs 20 mins), Windows OS (loads of compatible software), Can switch between standard and tabletstyle Windows interfaces
  • Processing power capped, No mouse included, Gaming performances very limited, No stylusholder
  • The Samsung Slate PC is a versatile product that can be used as a tablet or a static workstation. As a tablet, the Slate PC XE700 is a good solution for fans of Windows 7, as it's the best implementation of Microsoft's OS we've seen yet in a touchscree...

  • The Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is an 11.6-inch tablet, offering full PC versatility and power in a package that's not much larger than a regular Apple iPad. It's not as desirable as the iPad 2, but it could be just the ticket if you need to run Windows or any Windows-based programs. The Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is surprisingly small for a Windows-based machine, measuring in at just 12.5mm in
  • However good the Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T may be as an all-round package, it's still not as finger-friendly to use as a tablet as its rivals. There's a custom interface to hide the Windows OS, and you'll be able to use lots of different widgets, but carry out a few tasks and you'll find yourself heading back into the world of Windows. It's passable, but it's simply not as good as iOS on a tabl
  • The Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is the tablet to have if you need to run Windows. It's powerful, incredibly portable, looks great and is packed with features – we especially like the Bluetooth keyboard and dock. It still can't match Apple or Android in...

  • Most powerful Windows 7 tablet, Beautiful PLS screen, Thin and light, Wacom pen, Media dock, Wireless Bluetooth keyboard
  • Build quality issues, No carrying case/pen storage, Awkward aspect ratio, Windows 7 not designed for touch, No USB 3, 128GB SSD or 3G option
  • With its sleek lines and alluring finish, the Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is the most attractive Windows 7 tablet going. It's also the most powerful, and the one with the best accessories thanks to its included Wacom stylus, media dock and wireless keyboa...

  • Looks, Build, Features, Pen
  • High price
  • The device no doubt is big and heavy and a substantial chunk of the weight of this tablet is due to its bigger battery pack that powered this device for up to 5 hours of hardcore computing, or at least 1.5 days worth of productivity and multimedia. Playing videos...

  • Samsung's custom touch interface; powerful hardware for a Windows tablet; good screen.
  • Expensive; docking stand and keyboard are optional; lack of touch-optimized apps; slow screen rotation.
  • As Windows tablets go, the Samsung Series 7 Slate is an admirable attempt to make it more competitive with Android and iOS rivals. ...

  • Fast hardware, beautiful screen and a stylus for precise computing on a tablet,
  • OS not so touch friendly, a bit big and heavy and no holster for stylus on the tablet

  • Diseño premium, Materiales de gran calidad, Estación de docking incluida, Teclado bluetooth, Touch launcher, Display brillante con buenos ángulos de visión, Rendimiento satisfactorio, Veloz SSD, Gran duración de batería
  • Carcasa frontal muy reflectante, Borde superior muy cálido, Errores con el stylus
  • Con el slate PC, Samsung está en terreno infrecuente y ofrece un concepto interesante. Para ello el fabricante pide un enorme fajo de billetes. A cambio al usuario se le promete lo mejor del mundo de portátiles y tablets. Y, de hecho, el XE700T1A conve...

  • Bonnes performances (Core i5), Poids et tailles corrects pour une slate, La logithèque Windows, Station d'accueil et clavier inclus
  • Vivement Windows 8, Reste trop lourd pour un usage tablette, Capteurs vidéo très décevants, Trop cher
  • Le Slate PC Series 7 est un appareil mobile délicat à évaluer. Mi tablette, mi PC portable, il a déjà au moins l'avantage de bénéficier d'une conception assez réussie compte tenu de son cahier des charges. Contrairement à l'Acer Iconia Tab W500, la tablet...

  • Dalle PLS (angles de vision ouverts) contrastée (790:1), Autonomie correcte (4h20), OS Windows = grande suite logicielle disponible, Bascule vers un mode tablette pertinent
  • Processeur bridé, Pas de souris fournie, Capacités très limitées dans les jeux, Pas d'emplacement pour le stylet
  • Tablette ou station de travail polyvalente ? À vous de juger l'usage que vous en ferez. Pour une tablette, le Slate PC XE700 pourra séduire les fans de Windows 7 puisqu'il s'agit de la meilleure expérience de l'OS sur écran tactile mobile. Pour un PC t...
