Windows 8 Hybrid Laptop-Tablets Take Center Stage at Computex

04.06.2012

The MSI Slider S20 is the first convertible Ultrabook on the scene. Like the Intel showed off earlier this year, the Slider S20 has a screen that collapses into tablet-only mode or slides up to reveal a keyboard.

The Slider S20 is an 11.6-inch laptop running an Intel CULV processor (Intel's Ivy Bridge platform for Ultrabooks and tablets). Although we don't know storage, memory, or other details, MSI the Slider S20 will come with a full array of ports, including USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, and HDMI, and that the display is a 10-point multi-touch screen.

As usual with devices introduced at trade shows, no prices or more detailed specs have yet been released for these devices. Also keep in mind that innovative devices are often showcased at shows but never actually come to market.
