14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 7 tablets aren't many, at least compared to Android-loaded ones, but motion Computing didn't let this stay in the way of its launch of the CL900, powered by the newest Atom central processing unit.
While it may be that the ARM architecture, at least for the time being, is better suited for tablets and smartphones, x86 chips have become less and less inappropriate.
In fact, a while ago, Intel finally delivered the first of the oak trail processors, dubbed Atom Z670, which has since made it into such things as the Maestro S tablet.
Speaking of tablets, it appears that a new one has emerged, also based on this particular member of the Atom series.
Named CL900, it was developed by Motion Computing and already has its own official product page, which users can peruse here.
Measuring 10.1 inches, an LCD display covered by Gorilla Glass, for durability, and with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels.
As far as the insides go, the aforementioned 1.5 GHz chip is complemented by 1 GB of RAM (random access memory).
Furthermore, a solid state drive is present, with either 30 GB of storage or 62 GB, while an SD card slot allows for even more to be added via a memory card.
Other specifications include USB, two webcams (front and back), a video output, audio jacks and an optional 3G radio (Gobi).
All the hardware is, as already mentioned, handled by the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, specifically Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 32-bit.
Those that want a tablet experience closer to that of a notebook can go place their order following the link above, although they will have to be willing to part with the price of $899.
The ruggedness (the aforementioned Gorilla Glass and the chemical resistance of the enclosure) is part of the reason behind this high price tag.
