ATIV Tab by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)The sky isn't as vivid a blue as the real thing, and zooming-in on these shots shows they don't offer enough detail to print out at a decent size.

ATIV Tab by David-B.-Sherland-Jr. (Jan, 2013)I am an architecture student and unless I want to pay $1,500+ I can't get an i7 laptop with a 15" or bigger screen that can last much longer than 3 hours on battery (and weigh less than 7 pounds).
ATIV Tab by c|net (Oct, 2010)Keeping yourself to core features such as Web browsing, music, and e-mail, Samsung expects you'll get around 7 hours of battery life with Wi-Fi active.

Type
Samsung ATIV Tab | Rated 100% by by M.-B.-Martin--old-geek-author (Sep, 2012)Android 4.0 has indeed come a long way, and is a very usable OS if not the most intuitive (help for Android is abundant online).
Samsung ATIV Tab | Rated 100% by by DADDY (Oct, 2011)maybe someone selling other tablets ... i do not sell anything - i had waited for the kindle fire to come out before buying a tablet for my high school aged daughter and after seeing what it had and did not have i bought this unit instead ... it has two cameras ...a 16 meg drive PLUS an EXTRA 32 meg card spot ... all the android apps run on it, and of course it has the kindle app preloaded also in case you want an amazon book ... and there are NO connectivity issues with the wi-fi as some stated here.
Samsung ATIV Tab | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)In our video test, where we disabled Wi-Fi and set the brightness to auto in a fairly well-lit room, it lasted for 8 hours 49 minutes playing a standard def file.
Operating system
Samsung ATIV Tab | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Aside from the widescreen form factor, every part of this sleek Android Honeycomb 3.1 tablet's look is geared to go head-to-head with Apple's iOS big boy.
Samsung ATIV Tab | Rated 100% by by Sajid-Ansari (Dec, 2010)I find the iOS that runs the iPad is simpler and generally more responsive and smoother than the Android OS that runs the Galaxy Tab.
