It seems that one of the previously-revealed Windows 7 tablets, the one developed by CTL to be exact, has now become, at last, available for order, although it may not come across as an exceptional product because of a certain drawback.

So far, most companies that either developed or are developing tablets seem to have gravitated towards the ARM architecture.

Still, Intel already said it would power a variety of Windows 7 tablets and certain such slates have already been detailed.

Just a short while ago, a relatively unknown company called bModo actually released what can be seen as a promising 11.6-inch Windows 7 slate.

Now, CTL has started to sell its own slate, the CTL 2goPAD, but this particular electronic may prove to be somewhat less formidable than some may have hoped.

It has a configuration centered around the Intel Atom N450 central processing unit, whose clock speed is of 1.66 GHz.

This CPU is backed up by 2 GB of RAM, while internal storage is provided by a hard disk drive with a capacity of 250 GB.

The 10.1-inch display has a native resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels and the slate also features a 1.3 megapixel webcam, LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth and a SD card reader, among other things.

The newcomer has now started selling, but reviewers from LaptopMag state that, while the performance was decent, the battery life proved quite short, of about 3 hours and 15 minutes during constant browsing.

It was also implied that Windows 7 is still not exactly ideal for tablets, even with the UI tweaks made by CTL.

Regardless, the 2goPAD is now selling for $499. Those interested in the full rundown of the specifications or are considering placing an actual order need only stop by the official web page that CTL has added to its website.
