During my tour around Samsung’s booth I came across the Samsung 5 Ultra Touch which is a Windows 8 ultrabook fused tablet combo device. It’s one of the few new devices that Samsung introduced during Computex 2012.



The Samsung 5 Ultra Touch is similar to ASUS’ Windows 8 tablet line-up, specifically the ASUS Tablet 810 and the Tablet 600. Nevertheless, Ben, the marketing representative from Samsung, hinted through his demonstration above that the Samsung 5 Ultra Touch will be running on Windows 8 RT on a ARM based chipset.



What do you think of this guys?

Well they sure managed to show several of the flaws with the forced Metro design.

Did he also try to suggest that a non-touchscreen computer can't use apps?

I believe he was trying to suggest that the device above will be ARM based with the introduction of some Metro apps which are only compatible with ARM devices. I might be wrong, so please correct me.

Does Samsung not see another Apple lawsuit coming from this design...? I mean, Apple would sue if just the power button was in a similar location. But THIS.... oh boy. Lol

Well now I'm just comparing this with the Surface. So obviously it won't seem as nice.

Doesn't look like much of the Macbook compared to the ASUS Zenbook.
