2012 in the segment of tablets can be partly a year of tablets, different models of transformers. Such devices are introduced, or already released, companies such as ASUS, Lenovo, Samsung, and even Microsoft. This group decided to join Sony.
First in the chain got the information that the next tablet will be equipped with Sony Xperia cover with keyboard unit, similar to Microsoft Surface. Now there are pictures of the new device.

Novelty called Sony VAIO Duo 11. No official data on this product is not like the date of announcement. However, some information can be obtained from images.

First of all, the form factor. Judging by the photos, the tablet will not be a variation on the ASUS Transformer. It will be rather a hybrid tablet and laptop (the question of positioning is up by Sony). The unit will shut the screen facing out, leaving the opportunity to work with the new product, as the tablet.

Another of the photo you can see that the device is sufficiently massive and thick for a tablet. Is seen on the side of the connector, it is very similar to the VGA, which is also indicative of the fact that the device is likely to notebooks. Besides the novelty will support pen input (a special stylus, apparently, will be bundled), and will be equipped with a backlit keyboard.

You can also see a desktop OS Windows 8, not RT version for tablets, which means that, most likely, the processors series Atom.
The number “11” in the title indicates, apparently, on the diagonal of the screen. It is possible that Sony officially seem the device during the exhibition IFA 2012.
