http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/vizio-tablet-pc-new-620-wide_620x340.jpgAfter breaking into (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/vizio-all-in-one-review-24-inch-ca24a1/) the PC market last year, it was only a matter of time before Vizio released its first Windows 8 tablet. The company just announced the Vizio Tablet PC, an 11.6-inch slate running full Windows (i.e., none of this RT business). What's interesting is the combination of specs here: on the one hand, it packs a dual-core, 1GHz AMD Z60 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/amd-z60-tablet-chip/) chip, making it among the first Windows 8 tablets with an AMD processor inside. At the same time, it rocks a 1080p display -- not the sort of resolution you'd expect to find on a low-power tablet with a Z-series or Intel Atom CPU. Also, like the rest of Vizio's PCs, this has a Microsoft Signature (http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/samsung-x430-headed-for-microsoft-stores-with-a-crapware-free-co/) software install, with zero bloatware. Otherwise, the specs are pretty standard: 2GB of RAM, 64GB of solid-state storage, a 2-megapixel front camera and micro-HDMI / micro-USB ports. Vizio hasn't announced pricing or exact availability just yet, but we hope to get hands-on with this thing very, very soon.
