The chip takes advantage on integrated Intel HD Graphics and is fitted with 2GB of RAM and backed up by 16GB of internal memory (expandable via microSD card).
The tablet functions with an optional 3G modem and also brings about Bluetooth 4.0, micro HDMI output, micro USB port, full-sized USB 2.0, two cameras (5MP on the back and 2MP video camera on the back).
Life on board of the device is sustained by a 7000mAh battery, which seems quite capable of delivering a sufficient life-cycle.
The tablet is part of Microsoft’s assault on the budget market and come equipped with Windows 8.1 with Bing. In Europe, the tablet will sell for roughly $300 / €239.
