Microsoft reveals HP tablet-laptop hybrid

Microsoft unveiled two new Windows devices -- a tablet-laptop hybrid and a seven-inch tablet -- at Asia's largest tech show in Taiwan Wednesday.
Tapping in to the "2-in-1" trend for laptops with detachable keyboards, which is a dominant theme at this year's Computex, the HP Pro X2 612 has a stylus, cameras front and back and comes with dual batteries in the tablet and keyboard.
A seven-inch Toshiba tablet to be launched in the next few months was also revealed.
"It's a really nice device, thin, light with a textured finish in champagne gold... this is Windows in your pocket at an incredibly exciting aggressively competitive price," said corporate vice president for device partnerships, Nick Parker.
He showed the new machines during a keynote speech on the second day of the trade show in Taipei, which runs until Saturday, according to AFP.
