TabletPCReview got to spend time with the four Eee Pads at the Asus CES suite, with Asus reps demoing the very same units that Asus Chairman Jonney Shih carried to the unveiling. And while all the units were pre-production models still in need of some final polish and tweaks before shipping (the four devices will ship between Q1 and Q3, with the EP121 already available for preorder), they were still fully-functional and near their final builds.
We first focused our attention on the EP121 because it is a large and powerful slate with Windows 7 and Wacom pen capabilities -- something we know will please the inking fanatics on the TabletPCReview forums.
The 12.1-inch device is surprisingly light, featuring a textured plastic casing. However, the large size makes one-handed operation and note taking a difficult endeavor at best. That may give the recent HP Slate 500, which weighs a full pound less than the EP121, the upper hand in mobility, but the Eee Slate has plenty of power to go with its size. In fact, an Asus rep referred to it as “the world's most powerful slate device.”
We'll be the judge of that when we get a unit for a full review, which Asus promises will happen real soon.
