Samsung 700T - Manual

Using the Samsung Series 7 Slate (700T) with
Windows 8 Customer Preview
Introduction
Attendees from Microsoft’s //BUILD/ conference were provided
with a Windows 8 hardware reference platform that was co-
developed by Microsoft and Samsung. This unique Samsung
//BUILD/ PC was designed to provide developers with a
hardware platform optimized for Windows 8’s new Metro
applications which includes features such as a 16x9 display, multi-
touch, and various sensors. After Microsoft’s announcements at
//BUILD/ there has been a high demand from the developer
community for a method to purchase the Samsung //BUILD/ PC.
The system was designed as a unique tool for //BUILD/ attendees
and there are no plans for manufacturing additional units.
Microsoft recognizes the demand for a Windows 8 development tool and therefore we wanted to
provide some details on how to use a Samsung Series 7 Slate (
Model: XE700T1A ) for this purpose and
what limitations exist on this system vs. the PC provided at //BUILD/.
Hardware and developer scenario differences
The Samsung //BUILD/ PC is based on the Samsung Series 7 Slate (“Series 7”) but the platform was
optimized for Windows 8 development with the addition of new sensors, new UEFI BIOS, and general
platform configuration optimizations.
The Series 7 Slate is available in different model configurations/SKUs and it is important to use the
XE700T1A-A04US (or XE700T1A-H01US w/ 3G WWAN) models to enable Windows 8’s scenarios.
These models are available at the Microsoft Store (
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/ ), CDW and
other online retailers.
