The Samsung smart pc pro simply stands out compared to any windows 8 touch pc.
I would say this is the most convenient way compared room Sony duo 11 or Dell xps touch
and Lenovo yoga . Because when you want to use the tablet stand alone, smart pc pro gives
the better comfort, light and most compact to hold. One more thing to note is its keyboard
gives the best typing experience compared to duo 11 keys and mouse.
Its s pen (digitizer pen ) gives an additional input and hand writing is hard to believe electronic.
I tried the digitizer pen in duo 11 which gave a scratch sort of experience compared to S pen.
I notice that aaaa size battery for Sony digitizer pen is hard to find at a shop, where as Samsung
do not need any battery as it has a technology to absorb battery through the screen.
in terms of picture quality, the both rival stands out the best with their full hd display but
Samsung 400nits gave better white compared to yellowish white found on duo11.
Samsung smart pc pro has an additional advantage of hspa ( 3.75 G) micro SIM support.
And I forgot to mention that Samsung is so stingy that they don't provide screen protector,
case , etc compared to Sony duo 11 comes with all necessary bundle and a price tag $200
cheaper than Samsung.
