ASUS Eee Slate EP121 Brings Serious Power to Windows Tablets

January 5, 2011 by giovanni

SlateEP121
Pickings have been slim for those looking to run Windows software on a tablet without making too many compromises. But things are looking up pretty decidedly with the unveiling of the ASUS Eee Slate EP121. This formidable piece of hardware packs a 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen at 1280×800 with a 178-degree viewing angle. And behind the glass hides the real selling point, an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor that makes this tablet a serious notebook replacement. It will come with either 32GB or 64GB of SSD storage and the DDR3 RAM can be had at up to 4GB. Add in the 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 2MP camera, a mini-HDMI port, and the ability to work from a Bluetooth keyboard if you wish, and you’ve got a serious piece of gear, though maybe not one you’ll be taking with you everywhere. No word on battery life yet. Still, if you’ve been looking for something to fill that niche between phone and computer in a Windows environment, this definitely is worth your attention.

Update: This is now listed on Amazon for $999.

    Ok… I found the terrible battery life. It’s about 3 hours http://j.mp/fu9FWp
    And the price will start at $1000 http://j.mp/eWj0W5

    Yes, I also want to see the price and also, the battery life. These days, how long a device can last is pretty much the top item on my list.

    I want to see what the price is going to be.

    Frankly it looks like a too fat iPad with all sorts of ugly clutter on the side and unsightly ventilation holes.

    Besides, running Windows on a tablet device is a bad idea. As Apple has proven a tablet needs a dedicated OS to be really succesfull. I have no doubt that this thing will tank enormously.

      contrary, apple needs a dedicated os to support inferior hardware.
      Once hardware is up to speed there will be no reason for anything but an OS that runs both on PC and tablet. Anything less is inefficient and won’t last.
