Amazon and Google made their competitors to the iPad smaller than Apple's tablet, with seven-inch screens (measured diagonally) as opposed to their foe's 10-inch display. Chip maker Intel today revealed it has decided bigger is better, demonstrating a desktop computer whose touch-sensitive screen detaches to become a whopping 27-inch tablet with a four-hour battery life.
"This system is intended to move around the house, for new experiences, uses, and collaboration," said Ernesto Martinez, a client innovation engineer at Intel who helped develop the prototype. "When you are working, it has all the features of a desktop. At the end of the day, you lay it down to play with the kids or take it to your room and hang it on the wall to use as a TV."
