Micromax offers first dual-boot tablet

Micromax has introduced LapTab, the first dual-boot Windows and Android tablet at CES 2014. The device is powered by Intel processor 'Bay Trail-M' and it would be launched officially in early February for consumers.

The device supports both Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS and Windows 8. "Aptly designed for multitasking across operating platforms, users would need to simply reboot the device and select the alternate option to switch from Windows to Android and vice versa," said Micromax.

Over the past few years, we have been witnessing a growing trend of increasing consumer demand for two operating systems in one device, which offers a blend of great PC like productivity in a tablet like form factor for seamless consumption. The Micromax LapTab fulfills that consumer need by giving them access to the world's first dual-boot tablet. Combining functionality and style, the LapTab further builds on our promise to constantly empower our users with superior technology that directly addresses their needs."

He further commented, "As Micromax looks to expand footprints across global markets, we would continue to fulfill our promise of democratizing technology for people around the world by making it more affordable and accessible. We would be unveiling an array of innovative products across international markets in next six months for which Micromax is known for."
