Windows 8 on a Samsung Core i5 Tablet

Windows 8 on a Samsung Core i5 Tablet:

At the BUILD Conference today, Microsoft showed a much more comprehensive preview of the upcoming Windows 8 OS along with some tablet prototypes, including this 11.6″ Core i5 Slate from Samsung.

Almost all of the early impressions gave Windows 8 and the accompanying hardware some pretty glowing reviews. The Samsung tablet shown here has the same specs as the Series 7 laptop they introduced a couple of weeks ago — Core i5, 6GB DDR3, etc.

Microsoft also showed three other tablets running on various chipset — an Intel Atom processor, a TI OMAP4430 and the quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 Kal El chipset.
