The fine folks over at Neowin have obtained the specs and some more information about an upcoming Windows 8 tablet from Dell.

“As you can see from the slide above, we are looking at a 10.8 inch tablet, 1366x768 resolution, dual core Atom processor, fingerprint reader, Intel graphics (x86 tablet folks), 2 GB of ram, 128 GB SSD and of course it will be running Windows 8. We should note that it looks a lot like the Dell Latitude ST, naturally the specs have been upgraded and it will run Windows 8.

A key feature of the tablet will also be a removable battery that will come in two flavors. We are hearing that the smaller battery will get 6-8 hrs of battery life and the larger battery will get 10-12 hours.”

Windows 8 where it ought to be....on a tablet. Is Microsoft coming to it's senses?

No. Probably not.

Looks like a black etch-a-sketch.

Metro is probably fine on a tablet. Not on a PC.

Ross, I like both of my "black etch a sketches"....lol....

I'm still of the opinion that tablets are a fad....much like the Netbooks of a few years ago. I'll go for a $500 15" laptop with 500GB over a 10" 32GB tablet for the same price.

I've read prices from $1000 upwards to run Metro somewhat reasonably on a tablet. I fail to see what they are thinking if they want to compete with Android.

Well......as you all should know by now, I'm a hard-core biker. When I fire up Matilda for a long road trip, I need a very powerful but compact laptop in order to still work on my graphics and play games when away from home. Anything less, and well....as mentioned many time before, it would only be an "etch-a-sketch". I can't help but think that these tablets are nothing more than oversized iPhones with the addition of an over-sized price tag !
