Gigabyte S1080 Windows 7 Slate Previewed in Taiwan

We're not sure why Gigabyte decided not to bring its new Gigabyte S1080 Windows 7 Slate at CES 2011. Instead, Gigabyte unveiled the said tablet in  Taiwan. Anyway, in case you're interested with a Windows 7-powered tablet well then you might want to check out the Gigabyte S1080 Slate.

Said Windows 7 Slate features a 10.1-inch screen and is powered by an Intel Atom N550 dual-core processor. According to Stephen Lee, Director at Gigabyte Notebooks, the S1080 Slate is the ultimate mobile device to fit the demanding needs of consumers who need a high-performing multitasking slate.

"With the S1080, users now have constant access to all their business needs including email, internet and other important applications."

The Gigabyte S1080 Slate weighs in below 0.90kg, sports a sleek and light form factor, and comes packed with a 320GB built-in storage. It also supports USB 3.0, VGA port, and a capacitive multi-touch display with on-screen keyboard. Of course it also supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth. Plus a built-in 1.3MP webcam should give your videoconferencing fix.

Release date in Taiwan is next month with a street price of around $300. Now, that's reall something to look forward. Hopefully, Gigabyte decides to bring this to the international market.
