Gigabyte unveiled a new 10 inch Windows tablet at CES 2011. The Gigabyte S1080 has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. The 10.1 inch capacitive multitouch display has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. The tablet runs Windows 7 Home Premium and has a VGA ouput port, an Ethernet jack and a USB 3.0 port.
Unlike Android which is very touch friendly, Windows is designed for mouse input. Keeping this point in mind, Gigabyte has added a few buttons including left and right mouse buttons to the tablet. The tablet also comes pre-loaded with Gigabyte's AppPark software which is a small suite of touch friendly apps.
Gigabyte has been producing convertible tablet-style netbooks for a while, but the S1080 is the company's first Atom-powered computer without a physical display. No word on pricing or availability.
