Hands-On with Intel Windows 8 Tablets at CES 2012
Hey guys, this is Austin and today I'm here live at CES 2012 with a Hands-On of some Intel Windows 8 tablets. So, if you'd like to go ahead and take it away, uh hi, my name is Rish, and what I'm showing here is uh I'm showing here the two devices. The first one at the top is the uh Samsung Series 7 running second generation code I5 on Windows 8 Microsoft Windows 8 developer preview.
The second device that I'm showcasing here is actually optimized for power. This device is designed to be energy-efficient, while the other one is optimized for performance. As we can see, the device on top is powered by the Intel architecture, which provides a great balance between performance and power consumption. On the other hand, this device running Windows 8 Metro UI is specifically designed for low power consumption.
I'd like to take a closer look at both devices and show you some of the cool features that come with them. So, let's start with the Samsung Series 7 running second-generation code I5 on Windows 8. As we can see, this device has a beautiful Metro UI display, which is designed to provide an immersive experience for users. Let's take a look at some of the applications that come pre-installed on this device. For example, we have the stock market application, where you can see what's happening in the latest stocks.
Another cool feature of this device is its ability to run full-screen, immersive applications. As we can see, the weather application is a great example of this. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for users to navigate through different weather conditions. I'll also show you some other examples of Metro tiles and applications that come with this device. One more thing to note about this device is its ability to run legacy applications from Windows 7, thanks to the Intel architecture.
Now, let's take a closer look at the second device, which is designed for low power consumption. As we can see, this device has an Adam 32 nanometer process, which is optimized for power efficiency. The Metro UI display on this device is also designed to provide an immersive experience for users. However, one of the key differences between this device and the first one is that it's not as powerful as the Samsung Series 7.
However, as I mentioned earlier, this device has some great features that make up for its lower performance. One of those features is its ability to run Windows 8 Metro applications seamlessly. As we can see, this device can handle full-screen, immersive applications with ease, making it a great option for users who want a low-power device that can still provide a great user experience.
Another cool thing about this device is its ability to switch between different applications quickly and easily. With the Metro UI interface, you can switch between different apps using a simple swipe gesture or tap on the desktop icon. This makes it easy to multitask and navigate through different applications.
Now, I'd like to show you some of the key features that come with Windows 8 on this device. One of those features is its ability to run legacy applications from Windows 7, thanks to the Intel architecture. As we can see, this device can handle a wide range of applications from Windows 7, making it a great option for users who want to stick with familiar software.
However, one thing that's worth noting about Windows 8 is that it has some new features that might take some time to get used to. One of those features is the Metro interface, which provides an immersive experience for users. While some people might find it intuitive, others might take a little time to adjust to it.
Moving on, I'd like to show you some of the ways in which this device can switch between different applications and modes seamlessly. As we can see, one of the key features of Windows 8 is its ability to adapt to your needs. With the Metro UI interface, you can switch between different apps using a simple swipe gesture or tap on the desktop icon.

Finally, I'd like to highlight the importance of legacy compatibility with Windows 8. As we can see, this device is able to run legacy applications from Windows 7 seamlessly, thanks to the Intel architecture. This makes it a great option for users who want to stick with familiar software and still take advantage of the new features that come with Windows 8.
Overall, both devices have their strengths and weaknesses, but they provide an excellent user experience. Whether you're looking for a device that's optimized for power or performance, there's something on these devices that can meet your needs.
