WEST COVINA, Calif., Jan. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- E FUN, a leading designer and manufacturer of mobile lifestyle products, will be introducing two new models to its line of Nextbook Ares Android tablets during CES 2017: the Ares 12 Flip 2-in-1 and the Ares 8A.

"Android is now the most popular OS for portable devices," remarked Jason Liszewski, E FUN managing director and VP of sales.

One of which is access to the Google Play Store and its myriad selections of apps, movies, music, books, and more. It's just one of the reasons – along with some pretty impressive features – why the Ares 12 Flip and Ares 8A are perfect for multitaskers of any age."
Nextbook Ares 12 Flip

As a tablet, its sizeable 12.2" 1920 x 1200 high-resolution IPS touchscreen is the perfect size and image quality for a variety of activities from watching videos to playing games, checking out favorite web sites, and being actively engaged in social media. Then, when it's time to get down to work, attach the full-sized, Pogo-pin keyboard and start typing away.
The Ares 12 Flip 2-in-1 tablet features an Intel® Atom™ quad-core processor, an Intel GEN8 graphics processor, and the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.
