Alcatel's first 2-in-1 tablet boasts two batteries, LTE, Windows 10

Alcatel is getting into the 2-in-1 game, announcing its first ever tablet-and-keyboard combo, the Plus 10, the Verge reports.

It’s a mixed bag of a device, capable enough to run Windows 10 and coming bundled with a keyboard that’s more useful than most (it's got its own internal battery and an LTE connection for working on the go). The Plus 10 is powered by a 1.92 GHz Intel processor and 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal memory onboard (expandable via microSD up to 64GB).

The Plus 10 has three modes, working first as a normal tablet; then, with the 10.1-inch display stuck into the keyboard to work as a laptop (its screen ratio and diminutive size makes it look oddly similar to Sony's old VAIO P series); and finally, with the tablet portion placed back to front, the keyboard is turned into a stand for watching movies and TV.

With the combined batteries of the keyboard and tablet, Alcatel says the device can easily last 8 hours. This could be a handy little device if it comes at the right price, but that’s yet to be announced. The Plus 10 will go on sale in June this year in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
