Eee Pad Slider by R.-Shim--R.-Shim (Jan, 2012)I love this tablet - they keyboard is awesome and my large hands adapted very quickly to using it, although I will see the on-screen keyboard is not as difficult to use as I thought it would be.
Eee Pad Slider by M-Smith--M-Smith (Nov, 2011)The keyboard is small but very functional and includes several specialty keys to manipulate the screen, etc..
screen resolution
Eee Pad Slider by The Verge (Sep, 2011)Like the Transformer, the Slider’s 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800-resolution IPS display is very high quality and quite impressive for the price.
Eee Pad Slider by theinfoinsiderNo need to go into all its great features and details, I just wanted to try and save you a bit of trouble if you decide to pull the trigger.

Eee Pad Slider by The Verge (Sep, 2011)The front-facing 1.2-megapixel shooter is what you’d expect — you’re not going to want to take your new Facebook Timeline shot with this, but it is fine for video chatting or checking your teeth for food.
Eee Pad Slider by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)It's this notion that convinces us, even more so than usual, that the 5-megapixel camera on the back is mostly redundant.
processor
Eee Pad Slider by Benjamin-M.-Bethel--Owner-General-Manager---The-Clarendon-Hotel (Oct, 2011)+ Very fast... dual core processor is great, and 8 core graphics chip is amazing.
Eee Pad Slider by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)A dual-core 1GHz processor should be able to handle 720p video with relative ease.
Performance Real world tests of Asus Eee Pad Slider
cpu speed
Eee Pad Slider by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Although it uses the same Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor as the majority of Honeycomb tablets, it's unusually smooth and lag-free.
Eee Pad Slider by The Verge (Sep, 2011)For the most part, performance is on par with the other dual-core Honeycomb tablets, meaning the internals are peppy enough to push along the OS and a number of applications.

Eee Pad Slider by Kaida (Feb, 2012)As for battery life, it took me aproximatly 6 hours to run it down to around 30%, with what I would consider normal usage for myself (wifi web browsing, running apps, etc.).
Eee Pad Slider by ScrapHappy (Dec, 2011)Okay, all of that is based on playing with this thing for a couple of hours so far and it's a big 2 thumbs up for simplicity of use, impressiveness of design and value compared to other tablets.

Screen
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Comparing fairly well to the standards set by Apple's original iPad back in 2010, it uses an IPS display that offers fantastic viewing angles and excellent overall performance.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by M-Smith--M-Smith (Nov, 2011)The screen IS a fingerprint magnet and so I have applied a screen protector to cut down on the issue and to protect my investment.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by Stephen (Oct, 2011)The flip up motion for the screen, I'm not entirely sure how a lot of the video reviewers have difficulty flipping up the screen, it's really easy and really cool at the same time.
Type
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by Benjamin-M.-Bethel--Owner-General-Manager---The-Clarendon-Hotel (Oct, 2011)+ Android operating system, just the best out there for a tablet, great little thumb controls on the browser - you have to turn this feature on, but once you do your browser window becomes full screen, just slide your thumb in from the edge of the screen and this really cool touch interface pops up.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)Android Honeycomb's browser is good, the tablet supports full Adobe Flash, the capacitive touchscreen is very responsive and the keyboard comes in handy when typing emails and web addresses.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by j-liu (Feb, 2012)5/5. android is really a good OS for productivity, much better than iOS in my opinion.
Battery
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 80% by by luvcrash (Jul, 2012)The battery life is very good, lots better than my laptop which I've had for 3+ years now.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 80% by by Trailman (Jan, 2012)I took away one star (should be 1 1/2 really) because of the very delicate sliding mechanism that is not made for kids' hands, and the rather disappointing battery life.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by Nathan (Oct, 2011)the battery life is absolutely amazing.
Operating system
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 64% by by The Verge (Sep, 2011)It’s more than capable at multitasking, though I have to say I wish Honeycomb handled navigation between multiple programs better.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 40% by by Badmotorfinger (Nov, 2011)It's one thing to load a device up with vendor-specific software (this is normal) but then to deny any request to remove said software is unacceptable.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 64% by by The Verge (Sep, 2011)Other than all that, you’re looking at the familiar Honeycomb experience, and as I mentioned above, the keyboard plays quite well with the operating system, morphing the device into more of a workhorse than most of the tablets out there.
Size
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 100% by by Kallel_S (Oct, 2011)I love the size, weight, and keyboard of the slider.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 80% by by finn (Mar, 2012)apart from the slight problem with its weight, I am finding this a great alternative to ipad, in fact suits me much better, and have found it intuative and impressive.
Asus Eee Pad Slider 16 GB, Mocha | Rated 40% by by M.loflinAs far as the device itself goes is amazing!! User friendly, not to heavy despite the key board and works exactly as advertised.
