K.R.T. X9 Windows 7 Tablet: $588

Those of you crestfallen about the CrunchPad's demise can pull your head's out of the oven. An even better tablet PC is heading our way soon, for a price that puts it in line with a mid-range laptop. The K.R.T. X9 (ClonedInChina) is a multi-touch capable, Windows 7 tablet PC. It has a 10" display, a 1.6 GHz Atom 270 processor, Intel 950 graphics, 1 GB of RAM, a 160 GB HD, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, 3G connectivity, 3 USB ports, and a 4 hour working battery life.To make things even better, the X9 looks fantastic. It's a bit thick, and a lot heavy (2 kg for a tablet? Ouch) but that heft serves to give it a sturdy, industrial look. Wrapped up in a scratch-proof case, the X9 looks every inch the jet-setting businessman's tablet PC. While technology like this doesn't come cheap, it won't be a wallet-breaker either. The X9 is expected to retail for around $588 USD.
