Archos 80 Cesium Windows 8.1 tablet to be launched soon for around $149

Earlier this year, French gadget maker Archos announced its very first Windows Phone 8.1 handset - the 40 Cesium - while saying that it would also introduce a Windows 8.1 tablet. The tablet is called Archos 80 Cesium, and it’s been fully unveiled this week.

Just like the 40 Cesium smartphone, the Archos 80 Cesium is an affordable device that doesn’t offer high-end specs. The tablet sports an 8-inch IPS display with 800 x 1280 pixels, and obviously comes with lots of Microsoft apps and services (like Office 365, Xbox Games, Xbox Music, and Xbox Video).
