Micromax unveils dual-OS
'LapTab'; to hit shelves in
February
Homegrown handset maker Micromax on Monday
unveiled its latest tablet LapTab, which will run
on both Windows 8 and Android JellyBean
operating system. The device, which was unveiled
at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, will be available for consumers in early
February.
"The Intel-powered LapTab is the first dual-boot
Windows and Android tablet. The device is aptly
designed for multitasking across operating
platforms and users would need to simply reboot
the device and select the alternate option to
switch from Windows to Android and vice versa,"
Micromax said.
The device is powered by 1.46GHz Intel Celeron
processor and has a 10.1-inch IPS display. It
comes with 2GB RAM, 7400 mAh battery, 2MP
front camera with light sensor and wireless
keyboard. With storage of 32 GB expandable up to
64 GB, the tablet also supports Bluetooth v4.0
and Wi-Fi.
"Over the past few years, we have been
witnessing a growing trend of increasing
consumer demand for two operating systems in
one device, which offers a blend of great PC like
productivity in a tablet like form factor for
seamless consumption," Micromax co-founder
Rahul Sharma said.
Combining functionality and style, the LapTab
further builds on the promise to constantly
empower our users with superior technology that
directly addresses their needs, he added.
"We would be unveiling an array of innovative
products across international markets in next six
months for which Micromax is known for,"
Sharma said.
The LapTab comes with a transleeve which can
be combined as a cover and stand for the
wireless keyboard. Consumers will also have an
option to buy a customised keyboard for LapTab
when it hits the stands.
