Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Price, Release Date
Comparing it to Samsung ATIV 500T, AITV tab 3 is lighter, thinner, and comes with detachable keyboard dock, and has less screen size. It also comes with MS Office pre-loaded. The price of ATIV Tab 3 is set at $699 USD and its release date is early August. It’s disappointing that the screen resolution has not received any upgrade. Also, it houses the old intel atom processor, not the newly launched Bay Trail processor. But, as per Bay Trail’s availability and release date, we expect Bay Trail based windows 8 tablets to come by the end of this year. So, if you can’t wait that much, you may want to buy this tablet.
