Samsung's Windows 8 tablets are now available for pre-order, with prices ranging from $650 to $1200.
These tablets wear a few different names. Some stores sell them as the Samsung Series 5 and Series 7 tablets, while others call them the Ativ Smart PC 500T and Smart PC Pro 700T. But in each case you get a Windows 8 tablet with an 11.6 inch display.
One thing that sets both tablets apart from most Windows 8 tablets is the inclusion of a digital pen for writing and drawing on the screen.
