Some people might run across this “review” and wonder why I haven’t linked to it [Google Translate].

September 1st, Ramos will be introducing new products based on Intel CPUs. We know of two tablet designations: the i7s and the i9s.
Today PadHz gleaned some information about the i7s from an online store leak [Google Translate].
Using a Bay Trail CR Z3735G processor with a peak frequency of 1.83GHz, the i7s will have a 1280 x 800 seven-inch(!?) screen, 3G, GPS, Android overlaid with the “Le Frog” UI, and offer either the option of flashing to Windows 8.1 or a separate version with it pre-installed.

More will be known at its introduction. In the meantime, PadHz has a photo of what looks like a case for it.
