With a sharp design and a powerful Intel Core i5 CPU, the Asus Eee Slate EP121is a Windows tablet that doesn't feel like a toy.That Core i5 CPU means that, unlike nearly every other Windows tablet we've laid a finger (or stylus) on, the EP121 responds instantly in most cases, with much less of the sluggishness that has plagued similar systems in the past. The CPU in question is still a bit of a compromise. It's a low-voltage Core i5-470UM, and not part of the upgraded 2011 line of Intel CPUs. That means it lacks the better integrated graphics and battery-enhancing properties of the latest Core i3/i5/i7 CPUs. Still, next to the typical Intel Atom found in many touch-screen Windows devices, the difference is like night and day.
The Eee Slate EP121 costs $999 with a 32GB solid-state drive (SSD) and 2GB of RAM, or $1,099 for a 64GB version with 4GB of RAM (although we have yet to see the higher-end version actually for sale for less than $1,399).asus eee slate ep121
