LG E-Note Tablet Unveiled in Korea

LG has made an entry in the tablet market with the all new E-Note H1000B that runs Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter operating system. Sporting a 10.1-inch touchscreen, the E-Note houses Intel Atom Z510/Z530 microprocessor. This happens to be the second Windows 7 based tablet after HP Slate 500 to join the tablet market that already has iPad, PlayBook and Galaxy Tab. The LG E-NOTE H1000B is now up for sale in Korea for 961,000 Won ($851 approx.). However, LG didn't clarify whether it would be available to the rest of the world anytime soon.



New LG E-Note has a 10.1-inch resistive (oh no!) touchscreen display that needs to be operated using a stylus and supports 1366x768 resolution. Inside the body, the tablet offers users a choice between 1.1GHz Intel Atom Z510 and 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 microprocessors. Well, those are apparently two different model versions. Packing a 1GB RAM, the E-NOTE offers 16GB SSD for storage and for smooth operation of Windows 7 Starter edition. However, option of Windows 7 Professional is also available.

Last month, HP announced the 8.9-inch display bearing Slate 500 packing 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 CPU, 2GB 800MHz RAM and 64GB SSD for storage. But this tablet runs Windows 7 Professional and promises 1080p HD video playback using Broadcom's graphic accelerator chip.
