Samsung Unveils Ativ Smart PC and Ultrabooks Based on Windows 8: Windows 8 Powered Ultrabook Fight Gets Fiercer
A few days back, Samsung announced that it will unveil the Windows 8 based ultrabooks and hybrid tablets at a special event on October 15. As promised, the South Korean tech giant has lifted the curtains off a collection of Windows 8 based devices including the Smart PC.
