Intel previewed a number of tablet computers which would run on microprocessor that the company redesigned to make a bigger impact in the rapidly growing mobile market.
The tablets won't go on sale until October 26 when Windows 8 is released. All the devices depend on Intel's new processor and Windows 8. The prices for the various devices will be revealed during the next few weeks.
Intel's new tablet has a dual-processing feature that makes tablets run faster and with low power consumption so the battery life of a device should last 10 hours while it's showing video or performing other tasks.
Like Intel, PC makers are counting on Windows 8 to give them a slice of a market that so far has been dominated by the iPad. Most of the other tablets that are drawing sales from the iPad are running on Android, a free operating system made by Google.
