SAMSUNG EXPANDS ITS ULTRA-SLIM PC LINE WITH THREE NEW ATIV DEVICES
Samsung Electronics has unveiled three new Windows 8 PCs under the recently expanded ATIV brand; the ATIV Book 9 Plus, ATIV Book 9 Lite and the ATIV One 5 Style.
Simon Stanford, Vice President of IT & Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said: “With a unique combination of stylish design, cutting-edge technology and seamless convergence capabilities, the ATIV brand redefines personal computing. These new products offer our customers even more choice, as well as added convenience allowing them to stay connected at all times, wherever they are.”
Built with SideSync technology, the new ATIV PCs allow you to share content with your Samsung smartphone. The new products also feature HomeSync Lite, which transforms the PCs hard drive into a personal cloud server, so you can back-up personal files, photos and videos from your portable devices, such as your mobile phone or tablet, to your PC and then access them remotely via your mobile device.
ATIV Book 9 Plus
The ATIV Book 9 Plus is an updated version of the popular ATIV Book 9, renowned for its ultra thin and lightweight form factor and design. Taking this device to the next level, the ATIV Book 9 Plus has a premium finish with an aluminium, uni-body design, and a Windows 8 optimised touch screen.
With a premium QHD+ (3200 X 1800) display and twelve hours of battery life, the ATIV Book 9 Plus means you can stay productive for longer on a single charge. It boots up from cold in less than six seconds and wakes up from sleep in under one second, allowing you to access the information and programmes you need almost straight away. Productivity is further enhanced by Samsung’s SideSync technology, making it easy to share content between your ATIV Book 9 Plus and Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
ATIV Book 9 Lite
Built with cutting edge technology, including a ten-point touchscreen, Quad Core Processor and a 256GB SSD, the ATIV Book 9 Lite has both premium features and overall value. Weighing three and a half pounds and measuring less than an inch thick, the ATIV Book 9 Lite is great whether you are a seasoned business traveller or find yourself out and about a lot for work. It also supports Samsung SideSync technology for easy interaction between your PC and smartphone.
ATIV One 5 Style
An all-in-one desktop PC, the ATIV One 5 Style has been built in the style of the Samsung Galaxy range and has a minimalist, sophisticated design that perfectly complements any living room or home office.
The full HD (1920×1080) touch screen makes this an ideal PC for viewing photos and videos, and with Samsung SideSync technology, you can easily share content between your PC and smartphone devices.
With HomeSync Lite you can also back-up, manage and access content via your smartphone as well as privately manage individual accounts, making it a hub for the entire family.
