MSI S100 is a 10-inch Windows tablet with keyboard, for 349 Euros!

MSI aren’t known for having big distribution channels in Europe or North America so the new MSI S100 10-inch Baytrail-T tablet may not reach your local store shelves but it will be interesting to watch the price on it. We’ve spotted it, pre-sale,  for 349 Euros ($384 pre-tax equiv.)  MSI have chosen a 1280×800 screen resolution and have issued a strange press release. This “WinOS” tablet has “soul-shaking 3D surround sound. “ A 2MP camera “provides incredibly [sic] image quality.”

One retailer in Europe has the MSI S100-012NL up for pre-sale at 349 Euros which includes 64GB storage and the keyboard cover. Perhaps for that price we can excuse the poorly written PR?

MSI S100 10-inch Windows tablet specifications:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Intel Bay Trail-T Z3740D 1.33GHz
  • 2GB RAM

If you’re happy with 1280×800 resolution, which I suspect many people might not be, and want a super-cheap, lightweight 2-in-1 then take a closer look. We’re hoping the quality is better than that of MSI’s English proof-reading.

    Will I be able to use it on 3G. Is there a slot for 3G SIM card?

    The keyboard case looks strangely like a couple of the Chinese tablets I’ve seen with similar specs – like the Cube iWork 10. Maybe a re-badge?
