Almost two months after its official sales release, Windows 8 has been the great winner of the IFA from Berlin without a doubt. In the field of tablets, all brands have presented tablets, especially hybrid y convertibles, with the Microsoft operating system.
It is significant that almost all the tablets that are going to use Windows 8 have chosen a hybrid or convertible format. This is because Microsoft's operating system is clearly geared towards the professional world thanks to its office automation applications. These are the Windows 8 tablets presented.
Hybrid tablets with Windows 8
Asus has presented two tablets. The Asus Vivo Tab RT, previously known as Asus TF600, has a 10.1-inch screen with 1366 x 768 resolution and a keyboard dock like the Transformer line can be connected to it. It will use the Windows operating system and NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor accompanied by 2 GB of RAM.
Asus' other tablet, the Live Tab however you will opt for a Windows 8 and therefore Intel Atom processor. Again, it is a hybrid to Transformer mode and has a somewhat larger screen of 11 inches.
Dell has also brought to IFA a hybrid. The Dell XPS 10 It is a lightweight model with a 10-inch screen that uses Windows RT and therefore will have an ARM processor. Its main characteristic is autonomy, getting 20 hours when the dock keyboard is connected.
Samsung has done its thing too with your ATIV series. Samsung ATIV Smart PC y Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro they are two 11,6-inch hybrid tablets. They differ in screen resolution, processor power, RAM and storage, being the PRO more equipped. Although we must also say that it has greater weight. They both use the S-Pen stylus.
HP has also contributed its tablet HP Envy X2 with Windows 8 with 11 inches of screen, as it is becoming standard, and detachable keyboard. It is a tablet with characteristics very similar to those of other tablets.
Lenovo showed a device that it had already presented, a tablet designed to work without a keyboard but with the option of connecting one via Bluetooth. Lenovo ThinkPad 2 It is very light, it has only 10 inches of screen and it will be one of the great competitors of the Surface.
Convertible Tablets with Windows 8
Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and Sony have introduced convertible tablets that honestly because of their weight and volume I think they use the term tablet for a fashion issue. Its keyboards cannot be disassembled they are simply hidden by being able to slide under the screen and all the portability that a tablet is assumed to have disappears. To be correct, these types of models should be called touch laptops or something like that.
All tablets have more than 11 inches of screen. Toshiba U925Tin fact, it reaches 12,5 inches. In all three cases we speak of tablets with Windows 8 and Intel processors, with large RAM, 2 GB, 4GB and 8 GB. Sony Vaio Duo 11 it will come with the two highest RAM options. Also has large storage above 128 GB and great connectivity and autonomy. Perhaps the most extravagant model is Dell XPS Duo 12, whose keyboard is separated from the screen by a structure that allows the screen to rotate and float in addition to covering the wiring that joins it to the keyboard. Honestly, too bulky.
