    DO WANT

    ASUS' powerful 12-inch Eee Slate EP121 tablet has been no secret -- don't forget, it was teased at Computex and then sketched on a digital blackboard -- but here it is, with final specs and pricing information. Unlike ASUS' trio of Android tablets, the EP121 is all about Windows 7, and oh does it have the guts to run it smoothly -- it's powered by a Core i5-470UM processor, packs 2 to 4GB of RAM, and a 64GB SSD. It sure has the internal muscle to compete, but it also has a high-resolution (1280 x 800) 12.1-inch IPS capacitive display with a Wacom digitizer. The latter will allow you to use the included stylus to draw self-portraits or you know, take notes in class. ASUS maintains that the tablet breeds entertainment with enterprise, but something tells us the front-facing camera and HDMI port will have this one in the living room more than the board room. ASUS says the EP121 should be hitting sometime in the first quarter of the year for around $1,100, but expect us to bring you hands-on impressions way before that. Hit the break for the full specs. Update: ASUS says it'll actually start at $1,000, with an upgraded model available for an extra Benjamin, and it's due out later this month! %Gallery-112479% %Gallery-112543%




    A 12.1" Windows 7, core i5 powered capacitive tablet WITH A BUILT IN WACOM DIGITIZER SCREEN AND STYLUS. I will be buying this the second it gets released.

              I think tablet PCs are really dumb, but enjoy.

              EDIT: Like don't get me wrong they're pretty cool when done right, but.

              "Oh, just my cock." Replied Foil.
              "That just will not do." was keywii's response as she lunged for the scissors, pulled the blades apart, and clamped them down on the base of foil's shaft. Blood start gushing out of the wound where his penis used to be.
              "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
              "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

                        This is definitely, definitely done right. Dual core, 4gb ram, W7, USB ports, camera, card reader, Wacom pressure sensitive screen, multi-touch input, and it comes with a bluetooth keyboard and vertical stand/case...it's pretty much the power of a full laptop, but sexified.

                        FYI Wacom sells their own drawing pads with built in screens, and sell for much, much more than this. The Wacom ones aren't even computers either, just screen input. So this Asus pad is a steal.

                          Yeah, ASUS is easily one of my favourite PC component manufacturers alongside Corsair. To be honest, this actually seems like a pretty awesome deal for those specs.















                          I kind of want it shhh don't tell my friends

                            With those specs, it seems pretty sweet. That's a pretty penny for it, but it looks well worth it.

                              One thing I'm not liking is the expected battery life, which is only 3 hours. That's the one thing that really impressed me about the iPad was the 10+ hour battery life.

                              ps, here's the Wacom Cintiq 12wx, which retails for $1k, and like I said, it's only the screen, not the whole computer, and it's not portable.
