Samsung have today announced three new Windows 8 PCs under the recently expanded ATIV brand: Ative Book 9 Plus, Ativ Book 9 Lite and Ativ One 5 Style.
They all feature SideSync technology, which allows you to sync content seamlessly with Samsung smartphones as well.
Ativ Book 9 Plus
The Ative Book 9 Plus is the next iteration of the already popular Ativ Book 9. It features an aluminium, uni-body design, and a Windows 8 optimized touch screen.
It also features a premium QHD+ (3200 x 1800) display, and twelve hours of battery life, putting it in direct competition with the new Macbook Air. Extra battery life means you can be productive for long periods of time, and it boots up from cold in less than six seconds, and from sleep in less than one!
Ativ Book 9 Lite
Featuring a ten point touch screen, quad core processor, and a 256GB SSD, the Ativ Book 9 Lite has both features, and value. It weighs 3 1/2 lbs, and measures less than an inch thick. Great for both the business traveller, or just somebody who likes a portable PC.
Ativ One 5 Style
An all in one PC, which is styled on the Samsung Galaxy range, and has a sophisticated design that perfectly goes with your office, or home. The full HD (1920 x 1080) makes this ideal for photos, films or just work.
They are all expected to be available in the UK later this year.
Some of the detailed specs are as follows:
