8.9-Inch ExoPC Slate Runs Full Windows 7, But Has Last Year's Atom CPU

Labels: , , , , ,

It looks like another company has put a tablet to no one's surprise. This one's the ExoPC Slate and it has some advantages and disadvantages over Apple's recent iPad unveiling. The ExoPC is running a full Windows 7 OS on this tablet so that comes complete with Flash - and multitasking. It also comes with an SD card slot, which is something that the iPad doesn't offer without an extra dongle (and more money). The ExoPC Slate does have its faults though. It's got a smaller 8.9-inch multitouch-screen display, an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 32GB SSD. The CPU won't be as snappy as Apple's A4 CPU on the iPad and the battery will only be 4 hours - but you can replace it.

This Slate is going for $599, which is the same price as the 32GB iPad. I believe the iPad is a better choice because who wouldn't want something without Apple's logo on it (sarcasm). I still don't find the need for a tablet PC. Anyways, you can check out the ExoPC here, but it won't be available until March.
