Samsung debuts ATIV Q hybrid notebook with two operating systems

Samsung has unveiled a rather interesting device – a hybrid notebook with a sliding display and two operating systems. The ATIV Q hybrid notebooks comes with Windows 8 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and offers instant switching between the two operating systems, which provide the best of both worlds.

These dimensions include an Intel Core i5 Haswell processor, integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics, a 13.3-inch display at qHD+ resolution (3200 x 1800 pixels, 275 ppi), 4 GB of DDR3L memory, a 128 GB SSD, a microSD card slot, a HD camera, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, an Ethernet port, a micro-HDMI output and a 3.5-mm audio jack. The built-in battery provides power for up to 9 hours.

The Samsung ATIV Q will hit the market in late August or early September. Pricing is unknown.
