Swipe Technologies has announced the launch of Swipe Ultimate that is the firm’s very first Windows 8.1 powered tablet. It comes with a detachable magnetic keyboard featuring a touchpad that will transform the device as a laptop when needed. Priced at Rs 19,999, the Swipe offering will be exclusively available via e-commerce portal Flipkart.

In terms of specifications, the Swipe Ultimate flaunts a 10.1 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels and 178 degree viewing angle. The display makes use of the Zero Air Gap technology as well. The slate employs a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735 processor that is clocked at 1.33 GHz assisted by 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of non-expandable internal storage capacity. Anyways, you can connect 1 TB hard disks to the hybrid device using USB slot.

On the imaging front, the Swipe tablet comes with a 5 MP primary snapper that is teamed up with auto focus and features a front facing 2 MP selfie camera as well. The connectivity features onboard include 3G (via dongle), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, micro HDMI and micro USB. Also, there is an 8,000 mAh battery that should be providing a decent backup to the hybrid device.

The Swipe Ultimate arrives with free Microsoft Office subscription for one year. However, it lacks 3G support as in the iBall Slide WQ149 and the newly launched Notion Ink Cain 2 in 1, though there is support for dongle.
