BARCELONA — Looking for a portable Windows 10 tablet 2-in-1 that isn’t as large or expensive as the Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book?
At Mobile World Congress, Alcatel unveiled the Plus 10, its first 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet, with 10-inch screen and keyboard dock for productivity.
The Plus 10 is powered by a 1.92GHz quad-core Intel Atom processor and 2GB of RAM. It comes with 32GB of internal storage. There’s a microSD memory card slot for storage expansion up to 64GB if that’s not enough.
The 10.1-inch screen isn’t going to compete with the Retina displays of the world; it’s only 1,280 x 800, but at least it’s an IPS screen so viewing angles are better than non-IPS displays.
There are two front-facing speakers flanking the screen. For cameras, there’s a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel camera on the back.
A separate keyboard dock with a 2,580 mAh battery that doubles the tablet’s internal 5,830 mAh battery for a combined 8,410 mAh capacity. It also has a built-in 4G LTE modem with CAT 4 (up to 150Mbps) that works as a mobile hotspot as well.
You’ll also find a full-sized USB port on the keyboard dock to connect external accessories like a mouse or a hard drive.
The Plus 10 will be available in several colors, including silver, white, black and a “warm gray leather finish.”
Alcatel didn’t announce pricing for the Plus 10. It’ll be released in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa this June. No word on if it’ll ever come to the U.S.
