Windows 8 Tablet For Tech Savvy

By Katherine Martina


A few facts are starting to arise of what we can expect from the first generation of Intel-based Windows 8 tablets. If the leaked technical specs of your Dell Windows 8 tablet are any indication, however, the devices could be seriously underwhelming.

According to information provided by Neowin, the approaching Dell tablet will sport a dual-core Intel Cloverleaf processor, 2GB of RAM, as well as 128GB of SSD storage. The RAM and storage capacity are greater than most of the tablets available today, but this is an Intel x86 device, not an ARM-based tablet, and so it's significantly less spectacular as it seems.

I am not confident that a dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM are usually sufficient for Windows 8.Ignore for just a minute that it's a tablet. Consider the hardware in your current Windows desktop or notebook. The majority of programs have quad-core processors and at least 4GB of RAM--and that's adequate to operate easily. Many high-end desktops have cpus together with six or maybe more cores, and 12GB or even 16GB of RAM.

To be reasonable, a lot of entry-level laptops have specs similar to the Dell Windows 8 tablet--dual-core processor chips and 2GB of RAM--but in addition they charge only $300 or so. When somebody buys a great deal laptop computer with hardware which simply complies with the minimum requirements to work Windows, they will expect that overall performance will suffer.

Will end users be ready to cover a premium to get that same underperforming system in tablet style? While there is no charges yet declared for these particular Windows 8 tablets, it appears comparatively safe and sound to believe they'll cost more than $300. The truth is, I won't be surprised if they are available in around $700 and $1000.

Windows 8 RT tablets will likely have hardware specifications and capabilities closer to present tablets such as the Ipad by Apple. Regrettably, Windows 8 RT can't run conventional Windows software, and won't have the capacity to connect to a Windows network domain, thus it doesn't offer a very compelling undertaking. Except when Windows 8 RT tablets are appreciably less expensive than the iPad or Android alternatives, it might be challenging for the devices to find traction force.

You may still find much more issues than answers, and we'll have to wait and see if the Windows 8 tablets reach the racks. However, according to current and previous types of your Windows operating system I am a lot less than keen about the prospect of running Windows in 2GB of RAM on a dual-core cpu.

A good deal relies on Microsoft, and much more will depend on the hardware distributors package the OS in. Despite an excellent OS and tablet components, the cost of Windows 8 tablets may well be a fatal downside too.
