Motherboard and graphics card manufacturer MSI, is trying to make a name for itself in the tablet business, like many companies are doing these days, with the W20 tablet. This machine can deliver a decent amount of power, with its AMD A4-1200 dual-core embedded processor and AMD Radeon HD 8180 graphics.

Even if AMD processors were known to be heating up way too much, such concerns have been brushed aside, as the new gen processor in MSI's tablet is actually working without necessitating a fan to keep it cool.

The slate features an 11.6-inch IPS HD display with a 1266 x 768 pixel density, 128GB of storage and 2GB of RAM.

MSI claims that while most tablets don't offer quick fast file transfer, the W20 is different thanks to its mSATA SSD that allows for 250MBps transfer speeds at the very least.

Another interesting enhancement we find with the W20 is the fingerprint sensor, which guarantees the safe keeping of personal information.

The battery is expected to last up to 9 hours of reading or 6 if users are streaming HD videos.

MSI hasn't pinned a price tag for its W20, but we expect it to be quite affordable.
