Here you go, straight from the presentation that Will Poole, Senior VP of the Windows Client Business at Microsoft, gave at a recent financial analyst meeting a few days ago:

"Now, this one I want you to watch carefully because it's a new NEC. It weighs less than 2 pounds. It is 11 millimeters thick. So if I turn it the right angle, it should almost disappear. What do you think? This is an amazing bit of hardware right here. This is the more tablet or slate form factor, and we find a lot of people are using these in both executive settings as well as in industrial and vertical applications, medical in particular."

Detailed specs are still unknown, although a lot of people will buy it based just on the weight and thin form factor. However, I have heard rumors that the battery life is pretty short, just like on the original NEC slate. Nevertheless, it's nice to see that NEC is still active in the tablet segment, having some creative designers working on new devices.

The good bits begin around the 41 minute mark, so check them out. Will Poole also shares my excitement about the new Averatec C3500, which he quickly shows off too, and notes that they are flying off the shelves at Costco.
