At its heart, the MSI tablet will be powered by a Dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 250 processor, a chipset that was competitive in the market when it was introduced around 2010-2011[1]. However, it is worth noting that newer chips with better performance and energy efficiency soon followed[1].

The tablet will also feature HDMI ports and USB ports for enhanced connectivity[1]. While the exact price has not been disclosed, it is expected to retail at $500 upon launch[1].
