The latest 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet from NEC is among the few new products that the Japanese company released this year. NEC used to have quite the presence on the global market a few decades ago, but in recent years, the company has focused on government collaboration for the Japanese isles only, so most of its devices are essentially localized.
As far as specs are concerned, the new VersaPro VU tablet comes with updated features like the latest Gemini Lake Celeron N4100 ULV CPU coupled with 4 GB of LPDDR4 and a choice between 64 or 128 GB eMCC storage. The display does not come with slim bezels, but it gets the job done with the 1920 X 1200 resolution and touch capabilities. It even has a special slot for the included tactile pen in the upper right part of the back.
Other features include:
• WiFi + Bluetooth 4.1 + 4G LTE (Optional)
• 2 MP selfie cam + 5 MP rear cam
• USB-A/C 3.0 ports
• Docking keyboard with additional USB and HDMI ports plus GbE jack
• 0.4-inch thickness, 1.4 lbs weight (2.6 lbs with detachable keyboard)
No MSRP revealed for the moment, however, the tablet is clearly intended only for the Japanese market, as very few NEC devices make out of Japan these days.

I first stepped into the wondrous IT&C world when I was around seven years old. I was instantly fascinated by computerized graphics, whether they were from games or 3D applications like 3D Max. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction, an astrophysics aficionado, and a crypto geek. I started writing PC-related articles for Softpedia and a few blogs back in 2006. I joined the Notebookcheck team in the summer of 2017 and am currently a senior tech writer mostly covering processor, GPU, and laptop news.
