South Korean tech giant LG Electronics Inc. said Wednesday it has released two Windows 8 “Tab-Books,” which combine a tablet with an ultrabook.
The new Tab-Book Z160 line-up features 11.6-inch multi-touch displays that can be propped up to reveal a miniature keyboard underneath, according to LG Electronics.
The new products are a follow-up to the H160 model, one of LG’s first Windows 8 PCs introduced in October, and run on more advanced processors than the earlier version.
The model featuring Intel Corp.’s Core i5 processor is priced at 1.59 million won ($1,461), while the Core i3 processor-equipped model is priced at 1.4 million won, according to LG.
The latest Tab-Book models come as manufacturers are grappling to spur PC demand with products with enhanced portability and touch features.
PC shipments in South Korea totaled 1.3 million units in the third quarter, dropping 16.7 percent from the previous year, according to data by market researcher International Data Corp. (Yonhap News)
