Vizio unveils 10-inch featherweight Tegra 4 tablet running stock Android

Vizio might be best known for its TV sets, but it has recently pushed the boundaries of its portfolio much wider and now at CES it brings its new 10-inch Vizio tablet that is running on the freshly unveiled Nvidia Tegra 4 chip. It’s not just about the processing power - the new Vizio tablet is featherweight, and while we don’t have the exact measurements yet, it seems much much lighter than similar products in its class.

Good news is Vizio is not loading a custom skin on top of the already brilliant Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is instead keeping things stock.

Design-wise, it is the usual slate with the accents falling on the rounded edges, soft touch back and relatively thin body.

The 10-inch screen has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, and that makes it similar in a way to the Nexus 10. The Vizio 10-inch tablet will be offered with 32GB of on board storage and with usual connectivity options like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (with 4.0 support).

Overall, it looks like a very appealing product, if only for the super light weight. And it definitely fits into Vizio’s new goal to "make all the screens in your life.”
