Vizio Tablet PC hands-on (update: now with video)

Vizio's not exactly a stranger to tablets -- it came out with an [Android product](http://www.engadget.com/tag/vizio%20tablet/) back in 2011 -- but it's only just debuting its first Windows 8 slate, the [Tablet PC](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/vizio-tablet-pc-windows-8-tablet/). (How's that for an appropriate name?) Like so many other Win 8 tablets it has an 11.6-inch screen, but the similarities mostly end there. On the inside, it packs a dual-core, 1GHz AMD Z60 chip, making it one of the few tablets in this class that doesn't run an Atom processor. At the same time, the screen squeezes in 1,920 x 1,080 pixels -- an unusual resolution for a lower-powered product like this. Other known specs: 2GB of RAM, 64GB of flash storage, a 2-megapixel front camera and micro-HDMI / micro-USB ports. So far, we don't know how much this will cost, or even when it will be available, so it's going to be a little tough to compare this to other offerings in the marketplace. For now, though, we've managed to steal a few minutes of hands-on time here at CES. Meet us past the break for some first thoughts on the design, the performance and that crisp 1080p screen. And stay tuned for video -- we've got that coming too.

**Update:** As promised, our video tour of the tablet can be found after the break.
