Hallelujah!, it’s raining tablets at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 (CES 2011) in Las Vegas this year. What began as the stepping stone for the tablet revolution with the inception of Apple iPad last year, has now become a fiesta, bringing the best of mobile computing technology and killer designs from the drawing boards to actual physical devices. We already spoke about the much awaited LG Honeycomb tablet, that is powered by the tablet only Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, and now we are thrilled to bring four new tablet devices slated for a launch at the CES 2011 from Asus.
Here are the four gorgeous and state of art tablets from Asus:
- Eee Pad MeMO: Asus will be presenting the first of four tablets at the CES 2011, beginning with the Eee Pad MeMO. This incredible tablet computer will feature a good 7 inch capacitive touch screen display and will also include Media Note and Painter apps so as to facilitate note taking as well as designing, thanks to the accompanying stylus pen. The Eee Pad MeMo will be powered by a Qualcomm 8260 1.2 GHz processor and will be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS. Furthermore, this device will also come with Bluetooth, Wifi, mini-HDMI port for HD video (1080p @ 30fps) as well as front and back facing cameras. Eee Pad MeMO comes with a price tag of $499 to $699.
- Eee Pad Transformer: No, it doesn’t transform into an Autobot, but the all new Eee Pads Transformer does turn into a notebook and back to a tablet device. This extremely interesting device does remind us of the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid from Lenovo, yet its quite different in many ways. The Eee Pad Transformer will be powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor and will feature a 10.1 inch display along with Bluetooth, wifi and HDMI output. Also this tablet will come with a 1.3 MP front camera and an incredible 5 MP rear camera. With a price tag between $399 to $699, the Transformer will feature Android 3.0, 16-32GB SSD and a maximum of 1GB of RAM. The Transformer will also feature a full QWERTY keyboard for notebook mode, along with extra USB ports, a card reader, and extended battery life.
- Eee Pad Slider: This is one tablet device, that has literally taken my breath away, not only with its gorgeous design, but with its technical capabilities as well. The Eee Pad Slider scheduled for CES 2011, will feature a 10.1 inch IPS touch screen and the this tablet has an actual slide out full QWERTY keyboard, providing a stunning notebook like form factor. Though all tech specifications are the same as that of the Eee Pad Transformer, yet looks wise, the Slider far surpasses the Transformer. The Eee Pad Slider will be available with a price tag between $499 to $799 and will also be running Google Android 3.0
- Eee Slate EP121: The all new Slate EP121 from Asus it seems has been designed to provide the consumers with a vast range of options, especially with its larger 12.1 inch LED-backlit touch screen display with a 1280 x 800 resolution. Unlike the other three tablets, the EP 121 will be running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OS and will be powered by an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor. Also, this incredible device will come packed with up to 4GB DDR3 RAM, 32 or 64 GB SSD hard drive and a capacitive Wacom digitizer stylus.
