The MSI WindPad 110W tablet, a combination of Windows 7 operating system and AMD Z-series APU platform is now shipping to North America. The tablet is integrated with attributes for better security and navigation tools aimed at professionals on-the-go.
In addition to the AMD Z-01 APU, the tablet is equipped with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 32GB SSD. Fitted with a 10-inch display of resolution 1280 x 800, it has a USB port and a mini-HDMI port which allows connecting the tablet to big screen TVs.
“The MSI WindPad 110W tablet featuring the AMD Z-Series APU with unmatched AMD Radeon graphics is an exciting new product and a perfect fit for end users that want DirectX 11 capability and vivid HD media experiences. In addition to its integration with operating systems like Microsoft Windows 7, the AMD 2011 HD Tablet Platform enables enterprise-level security and offers support for HTML 5 and external monitors, enabling crisp graphics for enhanced productivity, streaming video, gaming and other multimedia,” stated John Byrne, corporate vice president and general manager for Americas Mega Region, AMD.
The security features of the MSI WindPad 110W include Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which uses BitLocker function in Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate to encrypt files in the device as well as for removable HDDs. The Easy Face software negates the need to remember software as its webcam scans unique facial features to let users log in.
“Microsoft is pleased to work with MSI to help bring their portable Windows-based tablet to market. Windows 7 is a great choice for commercial customers looking for a device that enables the productivity, mobility and security their businesses need to succeed,” quoted Nick Parker, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing in the OEM Division at Microsoft Corp.
Besides the touchscreen, the Smart Tracker allows users to navigate with small finger movements while holding the tablet from both sides. The SAS Hotkey is embedded to replace the ‘Ctrl+Alt+Del’ combination. Frequently used programs appear on the control panel with the help of the Smart O-Easy application to facilitate instant access.
