There’s a lot to like about Microsoft’s Windows 8 and it’s use in tablet computers. While the Surface tablets have gotten much of the press coverage, several developers undeterred by Microsoft’s decision to release their own line of tablets continue their work on upcoming models.

Samsung’s Series 5 Hybrid PC is an ASUS Transformer-esque device with an 11″ display that’s a tablet when you want portability, and hooks into a keyboard dock when it’s productivity you’re after. Little else is known about the Series 5, other than it running the full version of Windows 8 on an Intel x86 architecture. According to an image posted on the company’s Facebook Page, Samsung will be announcing the tablet at IFA 2012, which kicks off later this week in Berlin.

    I believe there will be 2 types of Tablet computers on the Market Place 1=General tablet computer such as The I pad, Windows RT and a host of Android Tablet computers already on the market. 2=The Tablet PC running Full  Windows 8 using x86 Intel or x86 rated AMD CPU’s. these tablets are in a class by themselves and can Full Windows Desktop/Laptop programs. The Samsung series 5 is a Tablet PC like the Microsoft “Surface Pro” and the new Lenovo windows 8 Tablet. if a person wants to do serious business or industrial Programs or run full PC games the Tablet PC is the way to go but for everything else The general Tablet Computer is the way to go and currently the Ipad is the best unless you want to see Web sites that still use Flash applications them Windows and Android tablets that still have a flash app is the way to go.
