Acer intros 10.1-inch Windows 7 tablet with AMD processor

If you can't wait until April for an Acer tablet, you're in luck because a Windows 7-based edition will be ready in February.

Weighing in at less than 2.2 pounds, the 0.6-inch thick tablet is quite different from the other Acer tablets unveiled today, and it's not just the operating system. This 10.1-inch slate also comes with a dock that sports a full-size keyboard. As someone who wants a tablet but still wants a physical keyboard to be productive, this sounds like it could be the perfect slate computer.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, not all of the specs on this machine (nor the price) has been announced yet. Here's what we do know already:

• AMD processor
• Dual 1.3-megapixel cameras (one on front, one on rear)
• Wi-Fi
• 3G

Expect to see this one in a lot more detail when CES 2011 comes around in January.
