HP first tablet Windows 8 on x86, not ARM under


The first tablet of Windows 8 running on HP x86 and will turn to the professionals, the American ad.
With the arrival of Windows 8, it will be possible to find shelves Windows 8 / Windows x86 configurations or RT / MRA, the first being rather for professionals when the second is the general public.

Instead, the shelves globally oriented company offer better margin opportunities in a market that is not still under the thumb of a player whose HP is aware of the expectations, with the opportunity to highlight the software compatibility.
