I'm putting my money on the Samsung PC7 to dethrone the Apple iPad as the reigning tablet king. The Samsung PC7 has a unique design that makes it look exactly like a gigantic slider phone with a QWERTY keyboard.

Yes, the Samsung PC7 comes with a keyboard. When the keyboard is slid out, the screen sits upright, turning the PC7 into a netbook look-alike. Samsung is releasing the PC7 in March and it will start at $699. Read below to see the tech specs for Samsung's latest iPad killer.
