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

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.
