In addition to the usual Windows 8 goodness, like 10-finger multi-touch support, Samsung has also infused the Ativ lineup with the S-Pen, something we’ve seen become a hit thanks to the S3 and the Note II. The S-Pen is complimented by a Wacom digitzer which provides it with a 1024-level pressure sensitivity, making it ideal for almost everyone, even artists. Both the tablets feature microSD card slots, USB ports (3.0 on the Pro and 2.0 on the non-Pro), along with mHDMI port. Both the tablets also come bundled with a keyboard dock that adds another two USB ports to the setup. The Samsung Ativ Smart PC can be purchased for Rs. 53,990 while the Ativ Smart PC Pro will set you back Rs. 75,490.
