Vizio unveils Windows 8 tablet

Flat-screen TV manufacturer Vizio jumped into computers in 2012, with a line of all-in-ones and compact Android tablets. Now it's bringing Windows 8 tablets to CES.

The new MTIIX-A1 will be in stores in March. Pricing has not been announced, but it's expected to sell for around $800.

Vizio's tablet has an 11.6-inch screen, full 1080p HD and the full version of Windows 8. "It's an entertainment and productivity device," says Vizio product manager Rob Kermode.

By comparison, Microsoft's own Windows 8 Surface tablet sells for around $1,000, and features an 8-inch screen and 720p HD.
