The W500 is a 10.1-inch touchscreen with 1280x800 resolution that runs Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system. It features a 1GHz dual-core AMD C-50 processor and up to 2GB of DDR3 RAM.The device weighs 970g and is 15.95mm thick. This isn't too bad but it is slightly on the chunky side when compared to similar tablets. It is reasonable to carry around but at nearly 1kg we imagine it would get tiring to hold for long periods. The touchscreen is responsive and the processor copes with the Windows 7 operating system and applications well. The device will ship with a 32GB SSD and dual 1.3MP webcams.
