Intelegent, a great smartphone that runs Windows 8 Pro

Yes, you read correctly, the i-mate intelegent is a smartphone that uses Windows 8 Pro operating system and not Windows Phone 8, as we see here. This is a pretty powerful terminal that measures 4.7 inches and has a dock that is composed of a 27-inch screen and a kind of office phone, but also comes with a 10.1 inch tablet auxiliary. Let's see what kind of technology it incorporates.

The intelegent is equipped with one of the new Intel Atom Clover Trail, also has 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory, features 4G connectivity and a full charge can talk for 10 hours.

Wondering about the price? $ 750 if you want only mobile, but also want the rest of the accessories all will cost about $ 1600.

For everything it promises to do, the price of the full set is not bad, although obviously many doubts arise because we do not know if the hardware will support Windows 8 Pro running and be in connection with 2 devices at once .

If it really works as promised, then surely any office worker in the world will want to gain intelegent.
