The Series 7 and Series 5 hybrid PCs from Samsung change from laptop to
tablet by slipping them out of their keyboard docks. The Series 7 costs
$1,199 and packs an Intel Core i5 processor with 4GB of RAM while the
Series 5 is $749 and has Intel's latest mobile chip ("Clover Trail")
with 2GB of RAM. Both will be available Oct. 26.
During an event in London on Thursday, Samsung showed off the ATIV Q,
which is capable of use in four setups: tablet, typing, stand, and
writing. The 13.3-inch screen is apparently setup with a non-reflective
glass for outside use, according to Samsung, and offers an up to 178
degree viewing angle. The hybrid ATIV Q also takes advantage of S Pen
support.
Windows 8 and Android Jelly Bean
Like James Bond's gadget guru, Samsung's own Q has a trick up its sleeve. It's first and foremost a Windows 8 laptop, but at the tap of a tile, it can boot into Android Jelly Bean. At first glance this might seem a bit of a gimmick, but when you take a moment to think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Display
The 13.3-inch display boasts an astonishing 3,200x1,800-pixel resolution, which is the highest pixel count we've seen on a 13-inch machine. It gives it a pixel density of 275 pixels per inch -- better than the 9.7-inch Retina iPad's 264ppi, and a massive amount for such a big display.

Despite running both operating systems, the device feels much more like a
Windows machine than a normal Android tablet – it also boots directly
into Windows, meaning you need to actually make the decision to switch
into the Android mode.
