MSI launches yet another innovative device, the S20 Slidebook, also known as the Slider. The MSI S20 is ultra-light, runs on Windows 8 OS and comes with an 11.6-inch touchscreen that can readily slide.

What sets the S20 apart is its ability to switch instantly from a tablet into a usable laptop. The screen slides up and tilts forward to reveal a chiclet keyboard with excellent key travel.

Users are not limited to any specific angle—the display is fully adjustable from flat to almost perpendicular with the keyboard.

Designed with practicality in mind, the Slidebook externalizes a lustrous plastic surface that incorporates the MSI logo as well as the Windows button.

Highlights

• Ultra-light (approx.1.3kg) and thin (19.8mm)
• Operating System - Windows 8
• Driven by a third-generation Core (Ivy Bridge) processor
• Chiclet keyboard with distinctive key spacing
• Based on the Chief River platform
• Runs on 4GB RAM and a 128GB mSATA SSD
• 10-point capacitive multitouch layer with an HD front-facing camera
• Ports: USB v3.0, HDMI, Microphone In, Headphone Out

The Slidebook is not only distinctive in its design, but it is also one of the first touchscreen convertible ultrabooks that encompasses both Ivy Bridge and Windows 8, making it unique.

The Slidebook is sure to be an essential tool for those looking to easily switch between a tablet and a laptop, and will definitely stand out from the crowd of other ultrabooks.

The S20 Slidebook will be available in the Middle East Region and the United Arab Emirates by the beginning of 2013.
