There’s news that a Toshiba Encore WT10 is going through US certification testing right now which is a good sign because right about now we’re expecting a wave of models to start appearing that offer 64-bit builds on updated CPUs, both at the low-end and high-end of the Windows 8.1 Baytrail tablet spectrum.

 

The leak comes via WiFi and FCC certification processes in the USA and there’s not much information associated with it. All we have is information that a Toshiba WT10 –A and Toshiba WT10-B are going through testing. With Computex just a few weeks away it seems likely that we’ll have more information very soon from the Japanese manufacturer.

We’ve already seen two 10-inch tablets on the new processors but they’ve been aimed more at the business market. The Fujitsu Q584 and the Lenovo Thinkpad 10 are both worth checking out but it would be nice to see a consumer-focused model in the space with 4GB of RAM. The current Toshiba Encore WT8 tablet, an 8-inch model was well received but it was a little thick compared to some other 8-inch Windows 8 tablets. Hopefully Toshiba have made progress and can offer us something with USB3 on board, a good FullHD screen and 4GB of RAM for a good price. Competition for the current Lenovo Miix 2 10 and HP Omni 10 would be great.

We’re following Computex news closely and expect to see more leaks in the run-up to the event. In the meantime, check out all the 10-inch Windows 8 tablets in our database in the list below.
