Intel just put out a PDF brochure where they highlight their recommended list of new Bay Trail and Haswell tablets (and a few \u201cportable\u201d computers).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a nice summary of what\u2019s out now on the latest processors. (Shows mostly Windows but also shows a few Android tablets.)<\/p>\n

Mine Not There<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way, the tablet upgrade I want isn\u2019t in there (and isn\u2019t even announced yet). I want an iPad-size\/weight windows tablet with a new processor (read Bay Trail), with a high-quality pen interface. The latter (good pen interface) seems to be the hard thing to find. Basically, I want an upgraded (Bay Trail) Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2. Still waiting (but it’s coming<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I had hopes for the Bay Trail versions of the upcoming Dell Venue 11 Pro, but apparently Dell is using a low-cost digitizer on its new Venue line that is very poor for taking notes (that\u2019s the reports on the 8 inch model). And I don’t even see a pen listed as an option on Dell’s page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In general, I am a bit disappointed by what has been announced so far for Bay Trail. A month ago, Intel had claimed<\/a> a long list of low-cost Bay Trail tablet models would be in the pipeline by now. But not really there yet.<\/p>\n

Sony VAIO Tap 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

In that Intel brochure the new Sony VAIO Tap 11 looks interesting. It\u2019s essentially a Surface Pro competitor (full i5 processor), but thinner and lighter than the Surface Pro. My only worry is, compared to Bay Trail tablets, it lists only 6 hours of battery life and it’s still somewhat heavy (1.7 pounds). And it’s a bit pricey, like the Surface Pro. A full review of the Sony VAIO Tap 11 is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
