The Eve V is a Windows tablet with a Microsoft Surface-like display and built-in kickstand. But it has a few features the Surface lacks, including two USB Type-C ports and a backlit keyboard.
Eve Tech designed the tablet after seeking input from potential customers, and raised money to develop the tablet through a crowdfunding campaign in late 2016.
While it’s taken a bit longer than planned to actually begin shipping the tablet to backers of that campaign, Eve did recently start showing the finished product to journalists, while promising it’d ship within weeks.
Now the tablet has passed through the FCC, which is something that any new product with wireless networking has to do before it can ship in the US.
Eve hasn’t exactly been hiding the tablet’s specs, so there aren’t a lot of surprises in the FCC documentation. But you can get a sneak peek at the user manual and also see what the Eve V looks like when you take it apart, although it isn’t the first time we’ve seen that.
The tablet features a 12.3 inch, 2736 x 1824 pixel IGZO display, a fingerprint sensor, quad speakers, front and rear cameras, and support for up to a Core i7-7Y75 processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of solid state storage.
It features a Thunderbolt 3 port and a second USB 3.0 Type-C port, plus two full-sized USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a micro SDXC card reader. The tablet is powered by a 6,400 mAh, 48 Wh battery.
The Eve V also supports Windows Ink and works with a pen that supports 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity.
Eve isn’t currently taking orders for additional tablets, but you can sign up to be notified when there are more units available for purchase.
damn wish I knew about this.. the i7 for $400 would have been awesome
This is a Y type i7, basically a souped up m7. Not a real i7
But the Y type i7 (7th gen) has nothing to do with the 4th gen m7.
They are closer to the U series than ever before.
In terms of mobile processors you can’t call any CPU a “real i/”.
