LaVie Touch has been announced by NEC today. Unlike the other popular tablets LaVie has a few specific features. The first is Windows 7 Home Edition. The second one and more pleasant is three hardware add-ons. The tablet comes with a mix between stand and DVD-drive (dubbed “Multistation”), a wireless mouse, and a wireless keyboard. Convenient, isn’t it? So you can use it as a tablet and as a desktop computer or something alike. What is not very pleasant is 10.1-inch IPS LCD panel with 1,280×800 resolution so it’s pretty small for normal work. Wi-fi and bluetooth are attached. 1.3MP camera (could have been batter). Ports: 2xUSB, HDMI, SDHC. 10.6 hours battery life so you should recharge it twice a day. Size: 263×183×15.8mm, weight: 729g. Not bed for US$1,230 with add-ons.
