Samsung to Demo New Windows 8 Hybrid Tablet
The Series 5 Windows 8 tablet is slated to appear at this week's IFA show
Samsung will take the wraps off its new Windows 8 hybrid tablet at the IFA 2012 trade show in Berlin. The company's Facebook page displays a photo of the new tablet with the tagline "Ready to be smart" and the phrase "IFA 2012, Berlin." IFA 2012 officially gets off the ground this Friday and runs until September 5. But the press will get a head start with events scheduled this Wednesday and Thursday. Samsung's press event is scheduled for Wednesday and will be live streamed.
The photo itself portrays the Windows 8 tablet in the foreground with its keyboard dock partially revealed in the background. Unveiled at Computex in June, the Series 5 can function as both tablet and notebook, letting users snap the 11-inch tablet onto the dock with keyboard and touch pad. Equipped with an Intel chip, the tablet will run the full flavor of Windows 8, not the Windows RT version. An 8-megapixel camera graces the rear with a 2-megapixel camera in front. Samsung put the battery life at around 10 hours and noted that the tablet is charged while docked.
