The device was first launched in U.S and China and now sells it in about 20 countries and with the sale in Japan it would face competition against domestic makers selling computers powered by the Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system, such as Fujitsu Ltd. (6702) and Sony Corp. (6758).

The tablet has a display of 10.6 inches, slightly larger than that of the iPad, includes a cover embedded with a keyboard, so it can be used like a notebook PC and is expected to run on the Windows RT operating system, a cheaper version of Windows 8.

In Japan, the 32GB model is expected to be priced at about 50,000 yen.
