Gizmo Graphics & Technology got an opportunity to test drive a windows 8 Pro Latitude 10 tablet. The device is about the same weight as an iPad, it comes with a 64 GB SD drive, and an expandable SD port for up to an additional 64 GB of space for music movies documents etc. The Latitude 10 combines the convenience and mobility of a Windows 8 touch tablet with the productivity of a PC. With Windows 8, you can stay productive with the PC applications you already use. Multitask the way you want on the 25.6 cm (10.1) high-definition (HD) display using multi-touch. It allows you to run the full-fledged Microsoft office. (2007 and up) On the back it even has a swappable battery which allows you to extend the time you can use your device on the go we definitely like it, it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It retails from Dell starting at $499.00
The tablet is also great with mobile games and fairly easy to operate, there’s a wide selection of apps and games and with the upcoming windows 8.1 release there is a lot more to come. It is our opinion here that the windows 8 pro tablet will be a good contender to the various android tablets and iPad as well as the new Kindle HD.
