Nokia's first Windows tablet - the Lumia 2520 - will go on sale in the UK next Wednesday, exclusively at John Lewis.
The 2520, one of the few tablets on the market to run Windows RT 8.1, will cost £399 inc VAT.
It's similar in design to the Surface tablet produced by Microsoft, which is in the process of acquiring Nokia. Primarily a slate, it has a keyboard cover that folds to produce a stand for the screen, putting it in a laptop-style configuration.
The device has a 10.1in Full HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, which can be supplemented with an extra 64GB via the microSD slot.
The 2520 also boasts LTE connectivity and a 6.7-megapixel camera. Like the company's range of smartphones, the 2520 ships with a package of pre-installed Nokia applications, including HERE Maps and the video-editing software Nokia Video Director.
Microsoft hinted earlier this week that Windows RT may not have a long-term future, with the company's former Windows chief revealing that the company wasn't planning to maintain all three of its consumer operating systems.
