It runs Windows 8 Pro, and supports both Metro-style full screen apps and desktop style apps. You would think that with a 4K display the desktop would look ridiculously small, but it turns out that there is a way to fix this problem. All you have to do is set the Windows 8 "change the size of all items" tool to 200 percent, text and graphics look pretty good on the tablet.
But its not all glory with Panasonic's tablet because things start to slow down when you run software that can seriously tax the CPU and GPU cores. For instance, Panasonic is showing off a Blueprint app for creating, viewing, and editing very high resolution images for architects and other designers. It took a really long time for the graphics to fully load in the app.
All the basic tasks like switiching windows, viewing images, and navigating Windows 8 worked well and smooth through the demo.
The prototype measures 18.7" x 13/1" x 0/4", gets about 2 hours of battery life, has a front-facing 720p camera, and features a USB 2.0 port, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.
You can theoretically pick up the tablet and carry it around - but it's clearly just a little too heavy for comfortable one-handed use. This isn't a tablet designed for light reading or web surfing, but it could be great for multi-player gaming, serious artwork (it works wit a digital pen), or other niche activities.
