Swipe Technologies has launched the Swipe Ultimate, the company’s first Windows 8.1 tablet. It has a 10.1-inch (1280×800 pixels) IPS screen and is powered by an quad-core Intel Atom Z3735 processor. It has a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It comes with a magnetic keyboard that has a touchpad so that it can double up as a laptop.
It comes with Microsoft Office subscription for one year. It doesn’t have 3G support like the iBall Slide WQ149 or the Notion Ink Cain 2 in 1, but it has dongle support via USB. You can also connect up to 1TB hard disks via USB slot.

Commenting on the launch, Shripal Gandhi, Founder & CEO, Swipe, said:
Our internal research shows that there is a section of society who would prefer Tablet with a keyboard, albeit detachable. We at Swipe pride in bringing cutting-edge technology at the doorsteps of common man. And we also strongly believe that technology is not the preserve of the rich and famous – on the contrary it should be available to one and all – hence our strategy is to deliver an Apple to the common man.
