If you're interested in a Windows 7 powered tablet with a stylus then Dell might have one for you. The Dell Latitude S can be pre-ordered right now if you have $859 to pony up. This tablet features an Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz CPU in case you wanted to know. Check it out on Dell because there's really not much left to say here.

HP has just announced a new notebook which will be available in just over a week. The HP 3115m has just been announced and it's packing an 11.6-inch display along with Beats audio. This notebook is a business model packing a dual-core AMD 530 CPU, an Radeon HD 6310M GPU, 4GB of RAM, and Windows 7 Professional. This notebook will be available exclusively in the USA on November 11th for $429 if you're interested.

HP's Slate 500 may have failed but it looks like they've decided to refresh it anyway. They've introduced the Slate 2 which will cost you $699 if you're interested. This one features an 8.9-inch N-Trig display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, a 64GB SSD, stylus support, Swype, Windows 7, and an Intel Atom Oak Trail Z670 CPU. Battery life's pegged for 6 hours which is decent and there's obviously a Bluetooth keyboard dock if you need it. This tablet should be available later this month if you honestly want it.

Dell has officially announced what only a few people are seriously looking for. They've announced the Latitude ST tablet which is running Microsoft's Windows 7 OS. Of course, you could port on Windows 8 on it if you want to - if you're willing to use the developer build. The tablet itself features a 10.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, up to a 128GB SSD, WiFi support, USB / HDMI ports, an SD card slot, and an 8-hour battery life. This tablet is said to hit the market on November 1st and the MSRP is expected to be below $1,000.

An anonymous tipster has just sent Engadget what could be pictured of an upcoming 10-inch Windows 7 tablet from Dell, codenamed the "Peju". The tipster mentioned that this tablet sports 2GB of RAM, USB / HDMI ports, and a stylus (and a holder). The CPU is unknown right now but it could be available this December for under $1,000. Nothing's confirmed right now but we know that you'll be able to install Windows 8 on it if you think the Developer Preview stable enough.

Samsung may have unveiled the sexy Series 7 notebooks just yesterday but it looks like they have yet another product in the pipeline. What you see above is the Samsung Series 7 Slate which is going to be running Windows 7 - but should be upgradeable to Windows 8. Either way Samsung feels like they'll be able to sell a bunch of these but it'll be tough when it starts at $1,099.

Beneath the 11.6-inch 400-nit display (1,366 x 768 resolution and Wacom-enabled) it packs an Intel Core i5-2467M CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 64GB / 128GB SSD, a 3MP camera, a front-facing 2MP webcam, a stylus, and a 30-second boot time. Of course, it also has a bunch of ports like a microHDMI, a SIM card slot, and a USB port. It's a pretty good tablet but I don't feel like Windows 7 is the ideal tablet OS though some people may disagree.

Lenovo has just announced their latest tablet and it's actually running Windows 7 which is surprising. The tablet you see above is the IdeaPad P1 which packs a 10.1-inch display, a 1.5GHz Intel CPU, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 64GB SSD, Bluetooth / WiFi support, 3D, a USB 2.0 port, a microSD card slot, and a 2MP webcam. The tablet also has stylus support which you might need trying to navigate around the OS.

This one's scheduled to launch in Q4 2011 but the price is unknown right now. The 2-cell battery will apparently last you 6 hours which is decent but lacking in the tablet game. You might as well wait for Windows 8 before picking up a Microsoft tablet but that's just my opinion.

Viewsonic's upcoming tablet has just hit the FCC, it's the ViewPad 10Pro. This one was announced a while ago and you should remember that it'll dual-boot Windows 7 and Android 2.2. The tablet does have AT&T bands so it could also hit Canada if Viewsonic wants to ship it up here. Check it out at the FCC.

[Engadget]

Maybe Lenovo's U1 tablet will be hitting the market soon because it has finally be spotted at the FCC. The tablet will be running Windows 7 and will be a hybrid device which is similar to the Eee Transformer from Asus. Well, looks like we'll have to do more waiting for this one. In the meantime you can check it out at the FCC.

If you're in the market for a Windows 7 tablet for some unknown reason then you should head over to NewEgg. They are now taking pre-orders for MSI's WindPad 110w. This tablet features a 10-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a 32GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, two USB ports, a miniHDMI port, and an AMD Brazos CPU. This is set to ship on August 1st if you're interested. If you think that this is worth $599 then check it out on NewEgg.

Computex is officially under away and MSI has just announced their first batch of tablets, the WindPad 110W and 100A. Obviously, the letter indicates the OS so the former is going to be running Windows 7 while the latter runs Android - likely "Honeycomb". Both tablets feature a 10.1-inch 1,280 x 800 IPS display along with WiFi b/g/n support.

The 110W features an AMD Brazos CPU, Radeon HD 6250 graphics, 2GB of RAM, up to a 64GB SSD, and up to 6 hours of battery life. The 100A, on the other hand, features an ARM Cortex A9 CPU (likely Tegra 2), 1GB of RAM, an HDMI output, up to 32GB of storage, an SD card reader, a USB port, and up to 8 hours of battery life. Launch details are unknown right now.

It's definitely not the most desirable tablet that has hit the FCC but it's something fairly unique. The Elitepad S10 from Elitegoup has been spotted at the FCC after being spied out at CeBIT a few months ago. Beneath the 10-inch display you'll be getting an Intel Atom 1.5GHz Z670 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 1.3MP webcam, WiFi / Bluetooth 3.0 support, an HDMI output, and Windows 7. Sadly, since it's running Microsoft's OS the battery is only good enough for a maximum of 6 hours. Check it out at the FCC.

[Engadget]

Acer's upcoming Windows 7 powered tablet is actually up on B&H if you're interested. This tablet is the Iconia W500 and it packs a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, dual cameras, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics, a 1GHz AMD Fusion APU, and an HDMI output. This is actually pretty good because it's priced at $549 and it comes with the keyboard dock so it'll double as a netbook if you want.

Sadly, the 3-cell battery is only set to last for 6 hours which actually kind of sucks. Of course, Windows 7 isn't the most tablet-friendly OS out there. Check it out at B&H and remember that it's shipping by April 15th.

Asus has just confirmed pricing and availability for the Eee Transformer and the Eee Slate EP121 - but not in the US. First off is the one above, which you should already know as the Eee Transformer which packs a Tegra 2 chipset along with Android "Honeycomb" and that external keyboard that you might need. The 16GB and 32GB models will be available in Europe for £379 ($608 USD) and £429 ($688 USD), respectively.

On the other hand you have the Eee Slate EP121 tablet below which is obviously running Microsoft's Windows 7. This tablet features a 12.1-inch display with an active digitizer, an Intel Core i5-470UM CPU, WiFi b/g/n support, a stylus if you need it, and a 64GB SSD. This one will be available on April 10th on Amazon UK for £999 ($1,602 USD).

If you're actually one of the people who want to run Windows 7 Home Premium on a tablet then Asus might have the one for you. The expensive Eee Slate EP121 tablet is scheduled for an April 10th release in the UK with Amazon listing the tablet for a whopping £999.99 ($1,627 USD). If you want to pay that extreme price tag then you'll be getting a 12.1-inch display (1,280 x 800 resolution), an Intel Core i5-470UM CPU, a 64GB SSD, Intel HD graphics, Bluetooth support, a 2MP webcam, and a desktop OS. Definitely sounds powerful.

Fujitsu has mentioned a bit more details regarding their Stylistic Q550, which is a weird name for a Windows 7 based tablet. Well, said tablet will be fully unveiled at CeBIT 2011 which takes place next month (March) and it'll be powered by an Intel "Oak Trail" Atom CPU which is good news if you're looking for a cheap tablet. Furthermore, it's going to be running Windows 7 Professional on its 10-inch LED display but I wonder if "Oak Trail" can handle that.

Other specs include a 32GB / 64GB SSD, dual cameras, a smartcard slot, a fingerprint reader, a USB port, an optional 3G module, and a battery life that will apparently last up to 8 hours. Expect the unveiling next month and you can check out the video below if you want to see more.

At this point we've already heard about Sony's "S1" tablet which should be running the Android "Honeycomb" OS but at this point it's still vapourware. Well, here's another one coming from an Engadget source. Apparently, the company is also working on the "S2" Android-based tablet along with a sliding Windows 7 tablet.

The first one, dubbed internally as the "S2", is what you should be seeing above. The source mentions that this Android tablet will actually feature a weird design with dual 5.5-inch displays and it'll look a bit like what you see above. This design is said to look like an oval cylinder, which will be quite awkward - looks a bit first-gen PS3-like. The innards are said to be identical to the "S1" though, so that means it'll have a Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, WiFi / 3G support, dual cameras, and Qriocity. Sony is going to attempt to skin the "Honeycomb" UI to take advantage of the dual displays but hopefully they don't mess it up too much. Apparently, this one might be launching this holiday season in US, Europe, and Japan for right around $699 which doesn't seem like too bad of a price. I wonder how it'll actually work out in the real world though.

Sony is also working on a Windows 7 tablet and apparently it's similar to Samsung's Sliding PC 7 Series and the Asus Eee Pad Slider. Specs for this one are unknown right now but it should be running an Intel Atom CPU and could actually launch this October (Q4). The company is aiming for a $799 price tag but it could actually be more expensive than they're hoping.

At this point, the most exciting tablet could still be their "S1" tablet but at that point there'll already be a bunch of tablets to choose from. It could be too little, too late for the company.

[Engadget]

The Dell "Rosemount" leaked on the company's roadmap just yesterday and Engadget is hearing some pretty juicy details regarding the Windows 7 based tablet. Apparently, the 10-inch tablet will be sporting a dual-digitizer so that you'll be able to touch your way around the UI or you'll also be able to use a stylus if that's what you want to do. Other rumoured specs for now include an Intel "Oak Trail" Atom CPU, software encryption, remote wipe, and a removable battery. This tablet may actually be a part of their Latitude line-up so it could be perfect for the enterprise or a business environment.
