Samsung to release first Windows 8 tablets

We all know that Windows 8 is becoming popular after the release of Windows 8 Developer Preview in Sept, 2011. Windows 8 is the touch optimized and tiled operating system from Microsoft. Already, it is in news that Nokia Windows 8 tablets, HP Windows 8 tablets and Asus Windows 8 tablets would be launched soon.

The release date of Windows 8 is yet to be announced by Microsoft. But we all know that the Windows 8 Developer Preview tablets which were given by Microsoft to developers in their Build conference in September, 2011 were manufactured by Samsung. Samsung is using this experience and planning to be the first one, to release a Windows 8 based tablet. The Windows 8 Developer Preview tablets were using Intel Core i5 processors. Samsung is planning to release their Windows 8 based tablets in the second half of 2012. As per the statement from Mr. Uhm Kyu Ho, Head of Sales and Marketing for Samsung PC business, The Windows 8 based tablet from Samsung would be a modified version of Samsung's Series 7 slate which runs Windows 7.

The Windows 8 Developer Preview tablets from Samsung had no software issues but there were some problems on hardware side. One of the problems was that it had a noisy fan which could not prevent the tablet from becoming hot and the battery also lasted for only 3 hours after a charge. Windows 8 also supports ARM based processors which can remove the issues faced on Intel based preview tablets. So Intel has to improve their processors before release of Windows 8 and to come out with powerful and light processor, which should not require a fan. Otherwise ARM based processors will be leading in the business.

Let us hope that Windows 8 based tablets from Samsung would be launched very soon in the year 2012. I love Samsung products and looking forward to see some great Windows 8 Tablet PCs from Samsung.
