10.1 inches, 1280×800 pixels, over $500 - sheesh. At least it's IPS.

I'm lost with Intel's naming on Bay Trail - some of them are Atoms, some are Celerons - I think there's some Pentiums as well?

Have to wonder what's happening with Mullins/Beema if people are starting to put 4.5W SDP chips into tablets - must be someone willing to take a punt on AMD at that power level, surely?

It's just as much about the idle consumption and sleep modes when considering tablets, they aren't usually "turned off", just screen off and in sleep mode so has to support long connected standby. I know Intel have been trying hard on that with Atom but don't know how good AMDs low TDP chips are in comparison.
