Samsung Ativ Tab 3 is a 10-inch tablet running full-fat Windows (hands-on)

Samsung's busy showing off a whole raft of new kit in sunny London. We went for a closer look at the Ativ Tab 3. It's a 10.1-inch tablet that uses the full version of Windows 8 and runs on an Intel Atom processor.
Samsung hasn't announced any details on pricing or availability yet, but stay tuned for more.
Design
In nearly every respect, the Ativ Tab 3 looks like Samsung's Galaxy Android tablets. At 10.1 inches, it's the same physical size and it's clad in the same glossy white plastic shell. The shiny, chrome-effect edging runs around the outside of the frame, while the back is an expanse of plain white.
If you like the high-gloss approach to Samsung's other slates, you'll be right at home -- there's no mistaking it's a Samsung. Those of you looking for more subdued black finishes or swirling patterns will be left wanting.

At only 8.2mm thick, Samsung reckons the Tab 3 is the world's thinnest Windows 8 tablet. I can't say for certain if that's accurate, but there's no denying it's a skinny thing. Holding it in one hand is reasonably comfortable, helped in part by its 550g weight. That's reasonably lightweight, particularly when compared with the 635g of Apple's most recent slate.
A standard smattering of volume and power buttons are found on the edges, with the physical Windows Home button residing on the front. There's a microSD card slot to expand the internal storage, too. You'll also find one of Samsung's S Pen styluses tucked into the side, letting you scrawl notes or sketch your most creative ideas to share with the world.
Features
The 10.1-inch display sports a resolution of 1,366x768 pixels. That's somewhat underwhelming -- particularly when you compare it with the full HD or higher displays we've seen on other 10-inch slates. Apple's Retina Display iPad, for example, has it casually beaten, and Samsung's own Nexus 10 packs in a truckload more pixels.
