Tablets might be all the range at the moment, but tablets running Windows like the new Asus Eee Slate EP121 are few and far between. The main argument against the operating system and format match is that Windows just doesn't work well with the tablet...

Heavy; expensive.
Asus has done well with the Eee Slate EP121, and it proves that Windows can work in a tablet format. But it's large, heavy, and expensive. Although it demonstrates that Windows can function in this format, the Asus Eee Slate EP121 also proves that it's...

While there were several Windows tablets promised at CES this year, the only one we've seen to date has been Hanvon's BC10, a 10.1-inch tablet that felt like it lacked a bit of polish. Asus is the next to play the game with the Eee Slate EP121, and...

We've had reservations about Windows 7 as a touch OS ever since Microsoft announced it; however, the Eee Slate EP121 goes some way to alleviating those. It'll likely take Windows 8 to go all the way, and by then, it may be too late. Until then, the Eee...

If the iPad was pumped full of growth hormones and protein shakes, the EP121 would be the result. Looking eerily similar to Apple's wonder slate, but substantially heavier and larger, it's actually a Windows PC in disguise. Let's take a look at the goo...

Asus dares a completely different solution with the Eee Slate. Just alone the price of 1000 euros is a whole new ball game and is doubtlessly to be located in the premium league. But Asus not only offers something unusual in terms of price. Not a Cortex-d...
