UK company Zoostorm will be releasing a Windows 7 based tablet next month, the Zoostorm SL8. The Zoostorm SL8 Windows 7 tablet features an 11.6 inch LCD display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.
Processing is provided by an Intel Atom N450 processor, and there is also 2GB of RAM and 32GB of solid state storage built in. It features integrated 802.11n WiFi, and there is also a WiFi and 3G model.
Additional Features and Connectivity
Other specifications include a mini HDMI port, a couple of USB ports, and it will come with Windows 7. The inclusion of a mini HDMI port allows users to connect the tablet to external displays, making it a versatile device for both personal and professional use. The USB ports provide additional connectivity options for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and external storage devices, enhancing the tablet’s functionality.
The Zoostorm SL8 WiFi model will retail for £499 whilst the WiFi and 3G model will retail for £579. The 3G model offers greater flexibility for users who need internet access on the go, without relying solely on WiFi hotspots. This makes it an attractive option for business professionals and frequent travelers.
Performance and Usability
The Intel Atom N450 processor, while not the most powerful on the market, is sufficient for basic tasks such as web browsing, email, and document editing. Combined with 2GB of RAM, the Zoostorm SL8 should handle everyday applications with relative ease. The 32GB of solid state storage, although modest by today’s standards, provides faster data access speeds compared to traditional hard drives, contributing to a smoother user experience.
Windows 7, the operating system pre-installed on the Zoostorm SL8, offers a familiar interface for users who have experience with previous Windows versions. It supports a wide range of software applications, making the tablet a practical choice for users who need compatibility with specific programs.
The tablet’s 11.6 inch display, with its resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, offers a decent viewing experience for multimedia content. While it may not match the high-definition displays of more recent tablets, it is adequate for watching videos, viewing photos, and reading documents.
In terms of battery life, users can expect moderate performance. The Intel Atom N450 is known for its energy efficiency, but the actual battery life will depend on usage patterns. For light to moderate use, the Zoostorm SL8 should last through a typical workday.
