Since it was launched late last year we are beginning to see more products running the new Microsoft Windows 8 operating system. In a similar way to the Android platform we are seeing products being launched by a number of companies that may not be as well known as others, and today we have news of a pre-order for the pricey 10.1-inch KUPA Ultranote X15 Windows 8 tablet.

Earlier today we brought you news of a couple of other new products on the Windows 8 platform, and the Kupa Ultranote X15 is another worthy device that uses the new Microsoft OS with some high-end specifications.

It has either the Intel Core i5 or i7 processor that is paired with a massive 8GB of RAM under the hood, and these internals are powering a 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 at an aspect ratio of 16:10. Some other notable features of the X15 include a removable battery, and an optional keyboard dock that will turn the device into a notebook.

There is also a side panel that could eventually allow the addition of other docking components if they ever become available from the company. The base model has the Intel Core i5-3317U Ivy Bridge processor using a 64GB solid state disk, and there is the option of paying more for extra storage with this model priced at $1099.

If you go up to the Core i7-3517U processor with 128GB of storage and 3G connectivity the price then leaps up to $1599. Both versions feature front and rear cameras, twin USB 3.0 ports, mini HDMI ports, VGA port, SD card port, and Bluetooth.
