Vizio Introduces a 10-inch Tegra 4 Tablet and a Skinny 7-inch Android Slate

Vizio-Tegra-4-Android-tablet

Vizio is all over the place at CES 2013, whether it’s their smartphone, TV, laptop or tablet. Earlier this week the company announced its first entry into the Windows 8 tablet market. Today, however, the US-based company is back on track to launch a new pair of  Android Jelly Bean devices. The first, and certainly the most interesting of Vizio’s latest tablets is a 10.1-inch slab, powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 4 chip – the world’s fastest mobile processor, to date. But it’s not only the super fast and powerful CPU that makes us so curious about it, but also the 2560 x 1600 high-pixel resolution screen, which is quite remarkable, to say the least. Some of the other specs of the product include a stock Android Jelly Bean OS, running smoothly under the shell, 32GB of internal storage, WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, an NFC antenna and 5-megapixels rear camera alongside a 1.3-megapixels snapper on the front.

The 7-inch frame, which is quite impressive as well, will come pre-loaded with a lower resolution of 1280 x 800, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for the OS, 16GB of in-house repository, and a “rather weak” Tegra 3 processor. No NFC capabilities in this forthcoming tablet form.

No prices were given, but both machines are due out in the first half of 2013.

Vizio Launches a New 11.6-inch Windows 8 Tablet, With AMD Processor On Board

vizio-windows8-tablet-pc Vizio has a well-earned reputation for launching products moments before the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. In 2011 it was the 8-inch Vizio Via tablet, and this year it’s a whole new Tablet PC collection, powered by Microsoft’s Windows 8 OS. And while we’re still waiting on pricing and availability for most of these new products, the internal info has been released. In general, we’re looking at a 1080p (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) display, rocking a beautiful 11.6-inch screen, sitting on top of a 1GHz dual-core AMD Z60 chip. Quite an interesting setup for a Windows 8 tablet, isn’t it? Well, the other specs are nothing out of the ordinary; 64GB of SSD storage, 2GB of RAM,  a 2 megapixel front facing camera, micro-HDMI and micro-USB ports. More details to follow.
