I pre-ordered the Ativ Smart PC Pro about a week ago. Any idea when that will be coming out? I can't wait!
And do you have any idea if the Smart PC sold by ATT will have the S Pen? If not, then I see little reason to purchase the tablet from ATT.
If you can buy it for that price without signing up for a plan that's a great deal. Only pay for the data when you need it.NN
