The pixels on Panasonic’s new 20-inch 4K tablet are so itty bitty that I couldn’t even see them when I pressed my eye almost to the tablet’s touch screen. The viewing angles for the tablet were excellent. But they’re going to have to up the power of this baby’s guts if you really want to take advantage of its potential.
The 15:10 tablet in Panny’s booth at CES is relatively stacked: Windows 8 Pro on an 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor with NVIDIA GeForce Graphics, 4GB of memory and an 128GB SSD. Even with those powerful specs, the high-detail applications Panasonic envisions for these tablets don’t move as fast as you’d expect.
Swiping and dragging can be very slow on large documents, but the insane detail of the screen and the precision of the touch-sensitivity are impressive. Using a Panasonic stylus, you can draw very finely and make very precise edits in Photoshop.
But as those applications indicate, this tablet is really intended for business and professional use if (when?) it ever sees a commercial release. Most people probably don’t need resolution that high on such a small screen. Still, with some beefed up speed, this thing would be a beast. And as a proof of concept, it’s pretty amazing how many pixels we can pack into such a small space.

4gb high specs? erm no…. Most rigs ship with that as basic now. Should be upped to 8GB
yeah 4GB is kind of minimum specs.
Except he was talking about the responsiveness and I doubt the ram was bottlenecking performance.
Please explain where else the bottleneck would be? Considering its most probably a shared ram gfx card that would be the no1 goto bottleneck….
Sounds like the software/bloatware is letting the system down, although the gpu might not be good enough for the high res if it’s really low end. It doesn’t actually mention what gpu is used. 4gb of ram is what you’d expect on lower spec’d pcs or laptops, but it’s by no means bad, especially for a tablet (albeit for professionals). For a demo I don’t see why it’d be the reason to cause the sluggishness mentioned in the article, although I haven’t actually read anyone else’s review on it. Too much other stuff to read D: But considering this will probably cost a fair bit, I guess it wouldn’t of hurt to put in 8gb.
Sounds like the software/bloatware?
How did you come to this conclusion….
Well the hardware looks fine apart from the gpu which idk what it is.
I would bet a large chunk of cash its a shared memory GPU and thats why its slow.
Maybe, we’ll see
Stick it on a stand, call it a TV and I’m sold.
I’m guessing that 4gb is shared with the GPU, that 4k resolution is gonna use up a lot of memory.
I’m guessing half of the RAM would be munched away by IE10 quite happily?
Feng Zhu, a concept artist who does most of his work with photoshop (& who has a bunch of tutorials on youtube) reckons photoshop eats RAM when u’re working with big files. he advocates 12GB or so
