Micromax recently teased that it was going to launch a new product line on April 30. The new product that the Indian OEM was planning to launch is the Canvas LapTab which is a 2-in-1 hybrid device. It has been priced at Rs 14,999 and will be available exclusively on Amazon.in from May 6th.
The Canvas LapTab has a 10.1-inch IPS display and comes with a full-fledged keyboard which has a built-in touchpad as well. The device can double as a tablet and a workstation on-the-go too. It gets a 1.33GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F processor under the hood and 2GB of RAM for multitasking. This is Micromax’s first mainstream Windows 8.1 hybrid device. It comes with a SIM card slot which is meant for facilitating the use of 3G connectivity. It come pre-loaded with a full version of Office 365.
Micromax Canvas LapTab specifications:
- 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels
- Windows 8.1 with built-in keyboard
- Intel Atom Z3735F SoC, 1.33GHz quad-core processor with a turbo boost up to 1.86GHz
- 2GB RAM
- 32GB of internal storage
- 2-megapixel front and rear camera (fixed focus)
- 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB for connectivity

The company has more similar products in the pipeline and will continue to explore the personal computing space. Such devices allow the user the mobility of a tablet and the convenience of typing on a laptop in one place. This is also the least priced 10.1-inch hybrid device in the country. Comparable devices from the likes of Acer, Notion Ink, Lenovo and the likes cost at least Rs 4,000-5,000 more so Micromax has an edge as far as the pricing is concerned. Durability of the device is something that remains to be seen.
