Vizio which till a little time ago was known as a consumer electronics company is now trying to make its presence felt in the tablet space. The company launched Vizio MT11x tablet at the CES 2013. It has a 11.6-inch screen and supports full-HD (1920x1080) display.

Vizio MT11x is powered by an AMD Z60 dual-core 1GHz processor with 2GB RAM and runs on Windows 8. It is 10.16 mm thick and supports ten-fingers touch. Vizio MT11x sports a micro-HDMI port, 64GB SSD and 2-megapixel front camera. There are no details available regarding the battery of this tablet.

The company is so far tight lipped about the price of Vizio MT11x but Vizio is known for its aggressive pricing strategy and is expected to follow the same for its tablet range as well.

Not much can be speculated on the performance of Vizio MT11x but it is expected that AMD Z60 dual-core 1GHz processor will give better performance nVidia's Tegra 3, which powers the Microsoft Surface. On the downside, the AMD processors give a shorter battery life and the same might be true for Vizio tablet as well.

Apart from tablet, Vizio also announced that it is refreshing its laptop range. The company has introduced Thin + Light Touch notebooks range, which offers 14-inch and 15.6-inch laptops. Just like the Vizio MT11x, 15.6-inch Vizio notebooks ship with a 1920x1080 screen, while the 14-inch Vizio notebooks comes with 1600x900 displays.

Vizio also showcased two new Android Jelly Bean smartphones. The first device sports a 5-inch screen with a 1920x1080 resolution. This smartphone comes with dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded through a microSD slot. It has a 8-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel on the front.

While the 4.7-inch Vizio model comes with dual-core MediaTek chip. It has a 720x1080 display, 16GB internal storage and 1GB of RAM. For camera, it has 8-megapixel rear shooter and a 1.3-megapixel unit on the front. There are no details made available regarding the battery and pricing of these two smartphones either. However, these smartphone are expected to be released in China soon and we might get to know more about these smartphones then.
