The only reason why I did'nt yet substitute my MSI wind with the new Lenovo netbook with ion graphics 3 gb ddr3 and win7 premium is because I know that soon the tablet that will eat up all netbooks is gonna hit the shelves.
I just know it.]]>May 30th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/

Awesome.

I love this tablet, but I wonder if I could install Ubuntu or meego to save battery life.]]>May 30th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://j.mp/exopc-tablet-future]]>May 30th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/

Yeah, an actual computer for the same price as an iPad w/ equal hard drive space. I'm impressed w/ what they put together for this price point. Imagine, you don't have to pull it out of the box and hook it up to a real computer before you can use it, ahem.... iPad :(]]>May 30th 2010 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
And your battery will last all of 12 minutes!

No but really, this thing looks pretty sweet, seriously tempted to get one if the LCD quality is solid.]]>May 30th 2010 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/

Impressive.

But this little Canadian company not too far from where I live should get a major partner or two on board to add visibility and credibility. Maybe for ExoPC Slate 2...]]>May 31st 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
I think this tablet in terms of physical interfaces should have been apple's goal. This leaves very little bang for your buck. My biggest concern from this review is currently battery life. If would work for a solid 5 hours using WiFi or GSM, then that would solidify the whole deal. If they could get to market faster than September, I'm sure that wouldn't hurt...]]>May 31st 2010 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
This is what I freakin' want. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
I'm not getting your complaint. Why can't you get to "the data" here?]]>May 30th 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
There are only two interfaces. One is the OS and the second one is a costume made interface for iPad-like users (Who like dumbed down versions of an OS on their slates).]]>May 30th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/All OS's have a shell (user interface), even an ipod. With this you just have the choice of using the full Windows experience or an icon based touch interface.]]>May 30th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/
Also, it is as thin as the iPad:

The only reason why the iPad looks thin is that it has thinner edges. Also the iPad is really heavy, depending on the way you hold it you might get some hand aches. I got a pain in my rest from holding it for 10 minutes.]]>May 30th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/

I see what you're saying but I think one of the points in the article is that you're free to not use the custome UI. Personally I prefer the option to do so :^J ]]>May 30th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/relax fanboi.

I am not saying this is worse than an iPad or iPhone or slate, just saying I think having a second interface is a poor move. Unless one covers the holes of the other?]]>May 30th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/May 30th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/exopc-slate-hands-on/that would all be fine and dandy if apple gave out gym membership tailored to holding it for longer
but yeah, 10 mins is an exaggeration, but i found it quite annoying holding the ipad for about 30 mins, god knows what its be like for something like reading a book on it. especially with battery life that long, youd want to use it all wisely, not resting your wrists
