Apparently the Philippines and Filipinos in general still have room for another form of gadget in their ever growing stack of socially relevant gizmos. While most would say their phone has enough capability for them to be socially connected a hundred percent of the time, still one could ask, should we really just stick to using them to feed our need to be socially relevant every single minute? Well then to maximize their use why not use them as an office tool as well?
It’s just then do we realize that for the low cost of buying our current gadgets we are left to use inadequate equipment that we could not fully utilize for at least the basics of our daily grind, such as writing a note while researching on the internet and at the same time using spreadsheets to create tables for our researched data. To do all these we would need the power of a desktop, but with our mobile lifestyle, who has the strength to carry a three pound gadget such as a laptop? Then again people would simply say, why not just use a note book laptop instead? But these are not as powerful as a desktop and still not as portable or as light as a phone.
In this niche is where Phoenix WinTab would like to help the Filipino masses with the help of it’s distributor Wordtext Systems Inc. The Phoenix WinTab 10.1” consolidates the power of a desktop and the lightweight mobile ability of a tablet, and to further make this gadget as portable as possible Phoenix even released the 7” and 8” units. But what really separates these tablets from others is their distributor’s partnership with Intel and Microsoft, enabling them as powerful as your regular desktop while running on the most popular desktop operating system in the market, the Windows 8.1.
These gadgets were previewed in an event hosted by WSI and presented by Mr. Raphael Atienza, WSI’s Product Specialist for Phoenix WinTab and these are what he had to say about the product.
