Inside, the device is powered by up to 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H processor with 6x performance cores and 8x efficiency cores (i7-12700H and i5-12500H options are also available). This even has the Intel Xe GPU with 96 execution units.

Moreover, it has the NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores and 4 GB of GDDR6 video memory. 

It is paired with up to 16GB DDR5 RAM, up to 1TB PCIe 4.0 storage, and a 56WHr battery with up to 100W USB PD charging.

To help manage the heat, it has a cooling system that can blow a lot of air. The components are laid out vertically, not in the bottom like laptops.

The tablet also has a 1x Thunderbolt 4/DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, 1x USB-A 2.0, 1x HDMI 2.0, 3.5mm headphone jack slot, and UHS-II microSD card reader.

The Thunderbolt port can be used to attach the tablet to a G Mobile dock for extra GPU power and connectivity.

This runs with Windows 11 OS which supports plenty of games from Steam, Epic, and more.

The retail package includes a Screen Cover Keyboard as well.

There is no word about the pricing of the gaming tablet yet. Given the specs, let's expect it to be expensive.
