Gateway bringing Windows 7 convertible tablet

A number of images and specs for Gateway's upcoming convertible tablet PC, the EC18T, have been revealed ahead of any official news from the system builder. Outside of the new OS, a Monday Engadgetleak reveals the 11.6-inch tablet will ship with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Graphics will be handled by Intel's integrated GS45 Express chipset.

There is no word on other specs, including hard drive capacity, but Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic will be preloaded. A release date or price range for the Gateway EC18T has not been revealed, however.
