Video: A look at Samsung's ATIV Q hybrid PC

Samsung seems very committed to Windows 8 and has released a bevy of ATIV branded portables and even an all-in-one desktop. One of the more intriguing devices we've seen in the ATIV Q which is a tablet-first hybrid that converts to a notebook once you flip out the built in QWERTY keyboard.  Sporting one of the highest resolution screens (qHD+ display with 3200 x 1800 resolution) as well as all the ports and features one would expect from a $1500.00 premium device. The ATIV Q was supposed to have dual-boot capability to run both Android and Windows 8 but the device demoed in the video above was purely Windows 8. Expect the ATIV Q to come to Canada in August.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Samsung just showed off their new line of ATIV products. ATIV is the unifying brand for all Windows enabled smartphones, tablets and PCs.  There's the ATIV Q ($1,499.99) which is a tablet-first hybrid that flips up to reveal a keyboard. It also has the highest resolution 13.3" display on any tablet or notebook (qHD+ display with 3200 x 1800 resolution). The ATIV Book 9 is the premium Ultrabook and successor to the Series 9 products and has the same  multi-touch display as the ATIV Q as well. Also shown was the budget ATIV sleekbook, the Book 9 Lite ($829.99) which is clad in plastic and features a quad-core AMD processor specifically made for Samsung. Finally, the ATIV Tab 3 brings Windows 8 to a portable 10.1-inch form factor (like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 but with Windows 8). Stay tuned for video walkthroughs of these new ATIV products.
