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.
