Lenovo outs a new $500 Windows 8 tablet and 5 touch-based laptops

Lenovo is bringing another Windows 8 tablet to market -- this one made with keyboard cover in mind -- along with five new touch-based laptops that are slated to arrive globally in July and August.

The tablet, called the Lenovo Miix, features a 10.1-inch screen with a 1366 by 768 resolution and an Intel Atom dual-core processor. As the product's name suggests, Lenovo has tried to mix the features of a PC and a tablet, and offers an optional detachable folio case with a built-in keyboard.

The Lenovo Miix will start at US$500 and boasts 10 hours of battery life. The tablet will have 64GB of storage, along with a micro-SD slot for expandable memory of up to 32GB. It weighs around 550 grams and is 10 millimeters thick.

The Miix is just the latest "multi-mode device" from Lenovo, which has releasing more products that can switch between being a laptop and a tablet. Lenovo's CEO expects convertible PCs will eventually rise past entertainment-focused tablets in popularity over time. But so far Windows 8 devices have yet to find much demand in the market.
