• It comes with a Keyboard, Track Pad and also, it is Touchscreen enabled.
• That means, you can use it as a Tablet by touching the screen and also, interact through the Keyboard as a Netbook, it is a hybrid gadget.

You can also attach your mouse to it. Further, the screen is wide bigger measures 12.5 inch in size and news are around that it weighs more than today’s Tablet PC in the market.

This hybrid feature reminds the ASUS Transformer that also having the similar feature already in the market like: you can fold to use as a Tablet and open to use it as a Netbook.

This Ultrabook Tablet PC runs on Windows 8 and looks like this will be an advanced Tablet with Windows 8. There are also lot of New Windows 8 Tablet PCs coming by end of this year.

It is expected that the cost of this Ultrabook Tablet will be $1000 and definitely, this will be costlier than other Tablet PCs in today’s market especially, New iPad that costs around $499 only.

Watch the below video from Intel Developer Forum 2012 in Beijing, you can see the Ultrabook somewhere in the middle of this video.

To mention, this Ultrabook Tab is powered by Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPU, it has 2 USB 3.0 ports + 1 HDMI output.

There are rumors that Intel may not release this prototype model as it is, considering the cost. However, I have a feel that it is a good idea to release it as a hybrid model so that it attracts people of 2 types: those who want to buy Tablet PC as well as those who want to buy a Netbook.

In that case, people won’t hesitate to pay $1000 and it will be worthy.

However, when you deeply analyze the market, you can really find out the 2 best Tablets: iPad heads the race on top followed by Samsung’s Galaxy series.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

When the recent release of New iPad, the market expectation had really changed and people do expect the next level of features in every Tablet PC they see. As of today, there are no other Tablet PC that can compete with New iPad. However, Samsung Galaxy Tab has the guts to at least stand in front of New iPad.

• If you are thinking to buy Samsung Galaxy Tab then it is a good choice, go ahead and order today !
• The other choice will be the Galaxy Tab 7.7 model .

In this article, I will take you through the most interesting reasons to buy this Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Further, you get access to the Android App Market and you can load whatever App you love to make your Tablet PC into a full fledged hi-fi gadget.

#2 – Wide Screen + High Resolution Display.

This Tablet PC has 10.1” screen and hence you can watch everything clearly on a wide screen view. Further, the screen has 4-way rotation that means, you can keep the Tablet PC on any side on all 4-directions and the screen adjusts by itself.

The display resolution goes up to 1280×800 pixels and you can do HD video playback. Definitely, you will get-a-feel on seeing the screen, while touching the icons or while playing games.

Today, I thought of putting the most interesting features of New iPad 3 that you will love to use and also, it helps to make a buying decision. Understand these good reasons to buy your own New iPad 3 Tablet now….

Reason #1 – Stunning Retina Display.

It’s the new technology behind iPad 3 that enables Retina display and gives you the feel while seeing n touching the screen. That means, it has a high resolution display and it goes up to 2048×1536 pixels which is high quality than your HDTV (usually, 1920×1080 pixels). With the 9.7″ display (on diagonal), you can well look into videos as well as play games aggressively. The display is 4x times better than HDTV and hence you get a feel while looking into the display. Especially, if you love to watch movies as well as play games with your Tablet then go for New iPad 3.

Reason #2 – 4G Enabled, Access On-the-Go.

Today almost every Tablet PC in the market has WiFi connectivity and it is a common feature. Now this new iPad 3 goes one-step further, supporting 4G connectivity. The result, you can access high speed Internet, video/multimedia content on-the-go from anywhere without much configurations. It supports most of 4G LTE networks and also, supports GSM as well as 3G (i believe). If you love to access high speed Internet on-the-go then go for New iPad.

Reason #3 – iSight Web Camera (5 MegaPixel) + 1080p Recording.

This iSight Web Camera supporting hybrid InfraRed filter that can compete with SLR digital cameras and it filters external lighting to capture perfect pictures. It is a 5MegaPixel digital camera with Autofocus support, Face detection technology that can detect up to 10 faces. It has advanced optics with 2.4 aperture (+ 5 lens depth) and supports digital image processing to deliver uniform rich colors.

The special feature of this camera: you can record 1080p full HD video…

Reason #4 – No Typing, Use Dictation.

With New iPad, you don’t need to type any more and it is replaced by the dictation feature. You can command the iPad to do the navigation, type the text and even to browse through the Internet. This is one of the special feature of this New iPad 3 that you love to use every day. Just tap the dictation icon and begin your talk. The dictation also works with many other Apps and hence you can turn your iPad into a voice control based feature rich Tablet.

Reason #5 – The Smart Cover.

Now you can protect your iPad with its built-in cover. The cover is smart enough that you can quickly roll it as a mini-stand. It helps to avoid accidental scratches and keeps it dust proof. You can fold and unfold the cover easily, it has a magnetic technology that rolls the cover smarter. When you close the cover, the iPad automatically goes to sleep mode.

Reason #6 – Yes, Access to App Store.

As always, you get access to Apple’s App store and you can load whatever App you want. You can instantly turn your New iPad into a favorite gadget with the Apps specially made to work with iPad features. As of today, there are more than 200K Apps for iPad available in the App store on almost all the categories. Few of the built-in Apps are: Photo Booth, Youtube, iTunes, Newsstand, FaceTime, Safari etc.

These are the major reason that I could see to buy an iPad 3. You can always find most of these features on other Tablet PC brands – however, Retina Display is the most special feature that the resolution is better than a HDTV display. Personally, I like the smart cover and that’s an innovative feature that you love to use every day with your New iPad 3.
