AT&T to unveil 4G-enabled Windows 8 tablets

A Snapdragon LTE tablet running Windows 8 may be launching under America's second largest cellular network later this year

Allen Ngo, Published 01/07/2012

The next iteration of Windows is right around the corner and tablets sporting the operating system will now officially make an appearance at CES this year.

AT&T has announced that a 4G LTE tablet for its network will make a public showing at Las Vegas next week. The tablet will run Windows 8 as well as the Metro-style UI demonstrated at IDF 2011. The device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, but details such as RAM, screen size, connectivity features, cost and availability will all hopefully be unveiled within the next few days.

If Windows 8 tablets sporting Intel Atom CPUs make an appearance as well, it would certainly be interesting to compare any performance differences with the ARM-based AT&T tablet.

Notebookcheck will be on-site in Las Vegas this coming week, so expect an inundation of new announcements, products and hopefully surprises beginning Monday.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
