Last week we saw Toshiba unveil a couple of new Ultrabooks from the Dynabook family. But the producing company uses the same name for some of its tablet products, as well.

Toshiba apparently offers the Dynabook Tab VT484 tablet for customers looking for small framed slates that can be fit right in your pocket. The tablet features an 8-inch screen with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution.

The little slate proves to be quite powerful, as the PC manufacturer has slipped in a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z3740 (Bay Trail) processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. As for memory, there’s 32GB/64GB of storage offered here, with the possibility of increase via the microSD card.

You’ll also find two cameras onboard (2MP frontal one and 8MP rear one), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and micro HDMI out. The tablet ships with Windows 8.1.

Toshiba offers a really nifty slate, and you should know that there are three variations to choose from. The VT484/26K has 64GB of storage while the VT484/23K and VT484/22K have just 32GB. The VT484/22K bundles Office Personal 2013, while the other two have Office Home and Business Edition 2013.

The VT484/26K and VT484/23K bear the pretty huge price tag of $590 / €434, while the VT484/22K comes at $491 / €362, so you'll need to start saving up if you want one of them.
