    Firstly, I think we need a new sub-forum for bastardised hybrid mash ups.

    Putting this in Windows devices as it runs windows 8 in tablet & laptop mode. I think the android side of it runs on a virtual machine but I'm not sure.

    Anyway I wet my pants when I first saw this.

    Seems like the perfect combination to me. There are times when I have to pull out the laptop and times when I use my Galaxy Note 10.1 for editing docs and images.

    My XP laptop is nearly 7 yrs old. As I type on it now it has to be constantly plugged in after ruining 2 batteries over the years. I've been thinking about an upgrade a lot recently and I saw this streamed on the Samsung Live event at the start of June. I thought WOW.

    It was on preorder with ARLT earlier and at €1600 it's quite the price tag. Not something I could afford straight away but when it heads south of the €1200 mark I'll be all over it.

    Haven't seen any discussion on it here and I might have missed the hybrid section but I think it looks great.

    Hands on review here, a bit dark though.
