The Tech Report writes Samsung's Series 7 tablet/laptop hybrid has hit Amazon for $649.
The Amazon product sheet lacks a picture and doesn't reveal a whole lot else in the way of specs, beyond the fact that the machine has a 1.5GHz Atom Z670 processor, 2GB of RAM, and dimensions of 10.5" x 7.1" x 0.84" with a weight of 2.2 lbs. However, Samsung wasn't as tight-lipped when it announced the device back at CES. At the time, it said the system also features a 10.1" 1366x768 touch screen, a lithium-polymer battery rated for nine hours of run time, USB 2.0 connectivity, HDMI output, a card reader, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and 802.11n Wi-Fi with optional 3G. In a way, the Series 7 matches the more traditional definition of a tablet PC, since it runs Windows and features a slide-out keyboard and touchpad.
