"\n\nIt's a curious risk to claim to have made \"the most powerful tablet,\" seeing as how most things done on tablets rarely require much power in the first place.\n\nOn Tuesday Asus announced its self-proclaimed most powerful tablet, the Eee Slate EP121. It's unclear as yet how it arrived at this conclusion, but for now we're willing to play along, with a healthy helping of incredulity.\n\nFor what it's worth, the Slate definitely sounds powerful with its specs taken into account.\n\nHere's a quick rundown:\n\n\n12.1-inch IPS display with a 1280x800 resolution on a multitouch screen\nCPU: Intel Core i5-470UM\nWindows 7 Home Premium\nMemory: 64GB SSD; 4GB system memory\nConnectivity: Wireless-N, HDMI, USB, Bluetooth 3.0, SD card reader\nCamera: 2.0-megapixel with flash LED\nDigitizer pen\nInternal mic and stereo speaker\nUnit dimensions: 312x207x16.95mm, 2.5 pounds\n\n\nYou don't see too many new tablets running Windows 7 and frankly I'm not certain the OS is the best fit for a device whose biggest selling point is its streamlined nature. We'll have more details after we've gotten a little hands-on time.\n\nThe Slate EP121 will be available in the first quarter at a price range of $999 to $1,099.\n\n\n\n\n"
