Probably the highest resolution ever on a tablet: NEC’s latest slate beats iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab with high-resolution screen – and eight JBL speakers, yes eight
NEC has unveiled its latest tablet for the Japanese market. The Android 13 powered LAVIE Tab T14 features a 14.5-inch organic EL display with an impressive 3000 x 1876 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
NEC describes the LAVIE Tab T14 as a creative powerhouse, ideal for video editing and artwork creation, and the “One Vision” user interface supports multitasking with floating windows and screen splitting. The new device can even serve as a second monitor for a PC or tablet. It is powered by an 8-core MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor, backed by 12 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage.
The tablet also offers an immersive audio experience as it comes with a whopping eight JBL Dolby Atmos compatible speakers (eight!) allowing it to deliver sound from the entire tablet.
The LAVIE Tab T14 is equipped with a 13 megapixel camera on the front, a 13 megapixel camera on the back and a 5 megapixel wide-angle camera on the back. The tablet offers biometric authentication with facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. It includes two USB Type-C ports that support DP-In/DP-Out for external input/output.
A Digital Pen 2, compatible with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt sensor and palm rejection, is available separately. This features a lost alarm function to prevent misplacement and can be charged by attaching it to the back of the tablet with a magnet.
Other optional extras include a removable keyboard with shortcuts and touchpad gestures, a kickstand and a tablet case.
The LAVIE Tab T14 will go on sale from February 15 priced at ¥142,780 ($950.91).
NEC has also released a smaller version, the LAVIE Tab T9, with an 8.8-inch screen (2560×1600) and two Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers. That model costs 98,780 yen ($657.87).
