Asus just pulled out their Core i5-powered, Windows 7-running Eee Pad Slate tablet, calling it “the most powerful tablet in the world.” Probably so! They proved their point by simultaneously playing 1080p video and running photo editing software. More »
Big, bad, not excited. I can’t see using it without a keyboard and unless it has 8 hours of battery life and a week of standby time I don’t see leaving it around the house like the iPad.

So theres an unusually big bezel outside the screen bezel? Might be a cosmetic turn-off for many people, but other than that sounds awesome. Long as it’s price so i won’t have to sell any limbs im sold….
except for the fact that i now realize it’s windows 7. Dammit can’t anyone just use their gigantic department of engineers and whip together a simple UI to cover over this?

If only Windows 7 was touch-friendly, and not a pain in the ass to get anything done other dan scribble something in paint.

@dyowell: Well they made such a hoopla about ASUS doing a presentation… I guess it couldn’t be helped. I have to say though… very disappointed that it’s a windows 7 tablet… the operating system is just not suited for tablets.

I thought Gizmodo said they aren’t covering Windows tablets?

Kyle and Matt are going to be in a fist fight now.
Thank you Kyle for actually bringing your readers tech news about *all* the tech at CES. Well done.

I find this funny having just read the article swearing off reporting on W7 tablets.
