What kind of barbarian would take the living room tablet into the bedroom? Or the bedroom tablet into the den? Outrageous! You need to have a tablet for each room if you want to be a civilized human being. Sony gets that, which is why it has announced the Xperia Tablet Z Kitchen Edition. It's the regular Tablet Z, but with some cooking-oriented accessories (and a higher price tag).

Internally, this is the same Xperia Tablet Z we've seen before with a Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. The device is water-resistant, which does make a bit more sense for use in the kitchen. The Kitchen Edition tablet comes with a Bluetooth meat thermometer, a stand, and an assortment of cooking apps.

The Kitchen Edition tablet is on sale now through Sony's online store for $649.99. If you've got a big dinner party planned and need some tablet backup in the kitchen, the new Tablet Z leaves the warehouse in 1 business day and comes with free ground shipping.
