Samsung windows 8 tablet release date

Is there is any tablet which can run windows apps?

Quite frankly: yes, absolutely. As a matter of fact there are a variety of devices that you can choose from if you want to use Windows 7 (or Vista/XP) on the tablet form factor. The most obvious choice would be a dedicated Windows tablet, for which Samsung would be first manufacturer to turn to. The Series 7 11,6" Slate by Samsung (http://www.samsung.com/us/comput...) boasts a 2nd-Gen Core-i5 alongside a 128GB SSD and is currently the strongest beast in the Windows tablet universe - if at a price!If you prefer more ordinary hardware that natively runs on iOS or Android, then OnLive Desktop (http://desktop.onlive.com/) might be for you. If you've got a steady internet connection, OnLive streams a rather responsive version of Windows 7 onto your device. This also works for sophisticated games and other services and performs surprisingly well. If you're often on the go though, you can forget about the idea right away because of the lack of steady 3G/4G across the country. My advice: wait for dedicated Windows 8 tablets. The operating system as well as the hardware will be designed to work particularly well in the tablet form factor. All major hardware manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung, Asus, LG, you name it) will release Win8 tablets before the end of the year and more likely right with the release of Windows 8 this October. Windows 7 tablets (like the Series 7) will of course be upgradable, but in my opinion they're not the real deal yet. Windows 8 is going to bring a lot of new things to the table. Will it be able to beat iOS and Android? Maybe in the long run, maybe not. But it certainly will shake up the tablet market!

Android or Windows 8 tablet?

First a bit about Windows tablets: Windows tablets actually come in two varieties, Windows 8 tablets which are actually tablet/notebook PC hybrids (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro) and then those running Windows RT (Microsoft Surface) which is a stripped down version of Windows 8 that looks like Windows 8, but can only run Windows RT apps purchased through the Microsoft app store. The price difference is significant. Windows RT tablets start around $500 ($600 with the keyboard/case attachment) and then Windows 8 tablets (Surface Pro) starting around $900. Windows RT is Microsoft's tablet OS and devices that run Windows RT are lighter weight and are priced comparable to other tablets. Tablet devices running Windows 8 are really notebooks that can transform into heavy tablets. The thing I love about the Microsoft Surface tablets are the flip-case and the integrated keyboard. No other tablet gets this right like Microsoft has done. Also, I like that Microsoft Office is included with every Windows tablet.

Android tablets will give you access to more apps and will cost about $100 less for comparable screen size. If you have an Android phone you'll be able to download apps you've already purchased through Google Play or Amazon App Store to your tablet at no cost. Samsung Galaxy Tab and Google Nexus 10 are two models I would recommend looking at, both will give you access to the Google Play Store with tens of thousands of movies, books, etc…

Based on what you've said you're looking for "using it for the basic stuff: reading, watching videos, wi-fi (web browsing)" I would strongly recommend you look at the larger Kindle Fire HD 8.9". The Kindle Fire HD is an Android tablet, it's just running Amazon's custom version of Android. The most popular Android apps are available in the Amazon App store. On top of being a high quality product the Kindle Fire HD has the advantage of Amazon's huge library of movies, books and music. No other tablet can claim this library and Amazon has not released their video player for other Android tablets. You can rent movies on the Kindle Fire HD that you can not on a Windows tablet or any other Android tablet yet, Google Play and Microsoft's App Store just can't compete with Amazon's library.

So given all of this information I would suggest taking a trip to your local Best Buy and spending some time with the Microsoft Surface, The Galaxy Tab and the Kindle Fire HD.

How do I install Linux on a Windows 8 tablet?

Tough... It may not be possible except through a virtual machine like VirtualBox. It really depends on the tablet, but a virtual machine is probably the only way. You'll have to acces you tablet's firmware configuration, if it doesn't have one than your out of luck. Even if it does, it will probably be a UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), and many people have struggled with installing a second OS with UEFI.

here are comments on your particular tablet:
"It comes with Microsoft's newest abomination - SecureBoot - which makes any kind of modification or update to the system pretty much impossible. Though I will admit that this isn't Samsung's fault, as Microsoft has mandated certain very specific requirements to tablet manufacturers before they can ship Windows 8. The Microsoft mandated features of the EFI bios makes it virtually impossible to boot using external media. I tried booting with a bootable USB thumb-drive as well as an external CD drive, and though both were detected during boot-up, (I could tell by the way the lights flashed that it obviously had mounted the device and read from it), the EFI bios refused to list them as potential boot sources and would not touch them. Maybe it only works if they are properly SecureBoot blessed? I don't know, but I do know that I could not boot anything I had externally, even with SecureBoot marked as "disabled" in the bios itself. Ergo, if you decide you want to transform this into a hot-smokin' Linux tablet - fuggeddaboutit."
to access the BIOS menu:
"Important: Be careful when changing any settings in the BIOS. Incorrect settings can cause your PC to malfunction or crash. Please make sure all important data is backed up before changing anything in the BIOS.

There are two ways to access the BIOS on your Tablet PC:

If you are connected to the keyboard dock, power your Tablet on and then repeatedly press the F2 key.
Power on the Tablet and press the Windows Key (Home button) when the Samsung logo screen appears.
Note: If you have performed one of the above steps and the BIOS did not appear, restart the computer and perform the step again.

To navigate the BIOS, you can use the Touchscreen or the arrow keys on the keyboard."

How do I install Windows 8.1 RT on an Android Samsung Galaxy 2 tab P3100?

Unfortunately Not possible yet.Windows 8 does not support processor architecture’s based on ARM which is in your Tablet. You need an Intel or AMD x64 or x86 processor in order to evaluate the Windows 8.An ARM processor is one of a family of CPUs based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM).ARM makes 32-bit and 64-bit RISC multi-core processors. RISC processors are designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that they can operate at a higher speed, performing more millions of instructions per second (MIPS).ARM processors are extensively used in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, multimedia players and other mobile devices, such as wearables.Windows does not support this type of architecture . So,you cannot install windows on your tablet.Source: Can I put Windows 8 on an Android tablet? ,What is ARM processor? - Definition from WhatIs.com

What is the best tablet (popular tablets such as samsung or Apple) for an art major college student?

You can't run Photoshop on Android tablets or Apple iOS devices. There is the simplified Photoshop Touch app, but that's not the real Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop only works on Windows and Mac computers. If you can find a tablet with Windows 8 (but not Windows 8RT), then it might work, but you will need to check it meets the minimum system requirements for running photoshop. Remember Photoshop needs a fairly powerful computer, preferably one with a non-integrated graphics card.

A wacom tablet and a decent laptop are a much better idea. Plus wacoms have pressure sensitivity, something lacking in most tablet devices.
