In addition to 10-inch Wintel models, MSI will also showcase other tablet PCs based on Intel's Oak Trail platform at the upcoming CES trade fair, according to the company.
Due to increasing availability of tablet PCs from other vendors, MSI is expected to adopt a more aggressive pricing strategy to promote its tablet PCs, asserted industry watchers.
