14 DAY TRIAL // It wasn't too long ago that Intel delivered its very first Oak Trail central processing unit, and it appears that one of the over 35 tablets based on it has reared its neck at last, courtesy of Maestro.
Nowadays, there aren't that many tablet powered by Intel's Atom series of central processing units.
Back when the iPad came out, the Atom, being a netbook platform, was the closest thing to an x86 slate platform.
The ARM architecture didn't have, back then, a chip or SoC capable of acting in the same capacity either.
Then, the things like the Tegra 2 came out, and with Android OS gaining prevalence, since Windows 7 doesn't really have what it takes for too great a slate operation, ARM-Android tablets became prominent.
This phenomenon only intensified when Android 3.0 came out, even though the OS also supports x86 chips.
Then, the 1.5 GHz Atom Z670 CPU arrived, the first of the Oak Trail variety, and it looks like Maestro wasted no time in building a tablet with it.
Dubbed Maestro S, the newcomer has 2 GB of RAM, plus a solid state drive with a capacity of 32 GB.
There is also a micoSD card slot, for extra capacity, while WiFi, stereo speakers and HDMI, as well as a pair of USB ports and the 10.1-inch screen, complete the ensemble.
What's more, Maestro threw in an extra accessory, that being a magnetic screen cover that is also a wireless keyboard (plus an integrated kickstand).
Windows 7, Android and MeeGo are all loaded onto the newcomer, with Windows customized with a five-panel touch interface.
Retailers should have the newcomer listed by June, for the price of roughly $729. There will also be a 3G model with an accelerometer and GPS for good measure. Finally, battery life should be of over ten hours.
