The Eee Slate EP121 tablet from ASUS was officially unboxed in a series of YouTube videos (below). The 12-inch tablet is meant for business users, as it comes with a 1.33GHz Core i5 CPU and Windows 7 Professional. It also ships with a separate Bluetooth keyboard to ease content creation.Two models are offered, one with a 32GB SSD and 2GB of RAM, while the other will double those two numbers, respectively. Thanks largely to the SSDs, the OS is loaded up in about 15 seconds. The sides house a mini HDMI port for streaming 1080p video, SD card slot, microphone output and two USB ports, while the stylus is hidden in its own slot. The 1280x800 display is a full capacitive multi-touch screen that can work with fingers.
Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi are integrated, as is a two-megapixel camera. The tablet should be available for between $1,000 and $1,100.
