This sounds similar, if not identical in guts, to the Acer Aspire 1420P, which has only seem very limited retail time despite many being given away last November at Microsoft's 2009 PDC event. More details on that laptop can be found on google or at http://microsoftpdc.com/tablet . It sports an 11" display, rotates, has a core 2 duo, max of 8GB, and pretty much everything else mentioned in this article although it sounds like the chipset MIGHT be different (aka different graphics, not that either one are any good).

For what it's worth, tablet mode on it is pretty much worthless - kinda like what you would expect on a tablet. But that's just me. ;-)

And may be, unlike the first set of Microsoft Tablet PCs such a long time ago, -not- a machine that is so careful with the battery that processing power and memory are cut back to favour uptime.

My brothers and sisters, a tablet with useable real-time speech recognition is your birthright. Rise up and claim it now.
