Powered by Windows 7 Home Premium, the Eee Slate runs the same software as any desktop or notebook PC, so it\u2019s perfect for mobile users who need to both create and consume content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Eee Slate EP121 is a powerful tablet computer that meets the needs of both consumers and business users. The fact it received an Innovations Award at CES 2011 is a clear testament to the innovation and technology behind it. \u201cThis unique PC provides a great combination of productivity, entertainment and social networking that we believe delivers a no-compromise mobile computing solution.\u201d\u2014 Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President of the OEM Division at Microsoft Corporation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy and Intuitive Input Options <\/strong><br \/>\nThe vibrant, high-definition, 12.1\u201d screen makes the Eee Slate EP121 ideal for entertainment on the go and offers a number of input options to suit all users. The capacitive touch-sensor provides accurate fingertip control for more relaxed use, while the WACOM digitizer pen provides the world&#8217;s most sophisticated stylus experience. Advanced \u2018pen and ink\u2019 technology delivers the most natural writing experience available \u2014 handwritten notes can be stored in their original state or quickly converted into editable text.<\/p>\n<p>The Eee Slate EP121 also ships with a sleek, full-size, Bluetooth keyboard that\u2019s ideal for serious typing sessions and its built-in battery extends battery life to up to 4.5 hours (as tested with 3Dmark Reader mode).<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nNo-Compromise Tablet Computing <\/strong><br \/>\nA powerful Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i5 processor, combined with either 2GB or 4GB of RAM, means the Eee Slate EP121 can multi-task with ease. Windows 7 Home Premium means it can run the same applications as a desktop or notebook PC too, whether it\u2019s Microsoft Office, Intuit Quicken or Adobe Photoshop Elements. Support for 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI also make connecting to wireless networks, peripherals and high-definition displays easy.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nEntertainment for All <\/strong><br \/>\nThe Eee Slate EP121\u2019s 12-inch screen makes sharing HD movies and photos with other people a pleasure. Its Advanced Fringe Field Switching (AFSS) technology delivers superior brightness and colour range to similar IPS (In-Plane Switching) displays, along with an ultra-wide 178\u00b0 viewing angle. The 1280 x 800 resolution makes the Eee Slate EP121 ideal for both productivity tasks and enjoying multimedia, while the tough Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass construction means the screen can easily cope with the rigors of mobile life.<\/p>\n<p>Movies, TV shows and games have never looked as good as on the Eee Slate EP121 and, since this is a full PC, there\u2019s the same wide choice of multimedia content and software as any desktop or notebook PC. The Eee Slate EP121 runs Adobe Flash too, so it gives access to the whole of the web, with no restrictions.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Stay Connected with Content<\/strong><br \/>\nWindows Live Mesh keeps files automatically synchronised across other Windows 7 PCs, so users can be sure to have access to the files they need, no matter where they are. They can also connect to other PCs remotely with the Eee Slate EP121 using nothing more than built-in software and a high-speed internet connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Display<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">12.1\u201cLED Backlight WXGA screen ; capacitive and Electromagnetic panel<br \/>\n(1280*800) with FFS <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Operating System <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Genuine Microsoft Windows\u00ae 7 Home Premium<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">CPU \/ Chipset <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Intel Dual-Core i5 470um\/ HM55 <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Default Memory <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">DDR3 4GB\u00a0 (1*SO-DIMM) <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Storage Capacity <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">64GB SSD <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Wireless Data Network <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">WLAN 802.11b\/g\/n*, Bluetooth3.0 + HS <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Battery Life <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">34Whr (Polymar 4 cells, 2330mAh) *Operation lifetime subject to product model, normal usage conditions and configurations<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">AC adapter<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Output: 19.5V 60W with USB charging port; Input: 100-240V AC, 50\/60Hz universal<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Audio <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Hi-Definition Audio CODEC; Stereo Speakers; Digital Array Mic <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Interface <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">1 x Digitizer Pen; 2 x USB 2.0 port; 1x 2-in-1 Audio Jack (Head Phone \/Mic-in); 1 x mini HDMI port; 1 x Card Reader: MMC\/ SD (SDHC\/SDXC); 1 x DC-IN <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Dimensions (mm) <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">312(W)x207.2(D)x16.95(H)mm; 1.16kg <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">Accessories <\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\">1*User Manual; 1*Warranty Card; 1* support DVD; 1*Power Adaptor; 1*Sleeve (with support function); 1*Bluetooth Keyboard;<br \/>\n\u00a01*Cleaning Cloth; 5*Refill Nips; 1* Nip Remover; 2*AAA Battery for KB<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sydney, Australia (March 2nd, 2011) \u2014 With its large multi-touch display and Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i5 processor, the ASUS Eee Slate EP121 delivers the ultimate combination of performance and portability in a tablet design.
