Dell Windows 8 Tablet Leaks
As revealed by a leaked slide, Dell's Windows 8 plans include the launch of a 10-inch tablet running Microsoft's upcoming operating system. Interestingly-enough, although Windows 8 will be ARM-friendly the tablet Dell has in the works, named Latitude 10, is going to be powered by an x86 processor, more specifically, a dual-core Intel Atom (Clover Trail).
The Latitude 10 will feature a 10.1-inch (1366 x 768) capacitive touchscreen, integrated graphics, 2 GB of LPDDR2 memory, up to a 128 GB SSD, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2MP front camera, stereo speakers, WiFi, Bluetooth and optional broadband, and a removable 2-cell or 4-cell battery enabling up to 8/12 hours of operation.
The tablet is rumored to become available around October/November.

128 GB SSD? 2 GB of RAM?
Microsoft will never get the idea!
wintel winside always wins.
Newer devises like the Samsung Series 7 tablet PC (Intel Sandy Bridge) command an equally lofty price and one would expect future Core i5 / Core i7 “Ivy Bridge” tablet PC systems to improve performance, increase energy efficiency and command a lofty price as well.
On the other hand, I’ve been hearing rumors of a quasi ~$200 Windows 8 ARM tablet using nVidia SoC. That could be widely popular with the masses.
this thing wont be a hit, because of the lack of power. when it starts lagging on youtube and flash heavy websites, it'll get a bad rep.
I hope if they at least offer both solutions
:rolleyes:
It is a tablet with really good hardware(except for the Intel ATOM), expensive, but very good with a Windows OS so you can actually get work done in a reasonable amount of time.
I would get a windows Tablet/Slate just because it has a SSD in it.
also note that current atom cpus already have a lower powerdraw than brazos. atom cpus have MAX TDP of around 10w. Brazos is AVERAGE TDP of 18w.
If they can sell it at around $600-800, it'll kill the iPad because it can run almost anything from a Windows desktop/laptop computer (highest software availabilty platform in the world).
Even though Im posting this from my phone In bed...
and remember they have a gpu on the chip as well
the 18watt parts are the higher end brazos that run at 1.6ghz and brazos 2.0 will run at 1.7ghz and have twice the radeon cores at the same power/thermal envelope
as for clover trail being a new architecture where did u hear that? as far as i know its only a die shrink? because if atom can run at 2.0ghz then it would probably match the 1.7ghz brazos (assuming its only a die shrink but i may be wrong, if you have a link however it may be useful)well as far as i know in the low power segment amd is better in cpu and gpu
brazos have higher ipc than intels atoms, though i hate how they seem to be slacking off and remain with the same 40nm brazos with minor tweaks in frequency and buffer gpu(but its still impressive how far they are getting with 40nm) when they shouldve improved the bobcat cores and kept that head start, i just hope they know what they are doing, otherwise fail amd -__-
You can do the same with a cheap Android tablet, go for that instead if remote control is all you want.
Die jongedame die de plees schoonmaakt bij de Rodahal mag er wel zijn trouwens.
