Eee Slate EP121 by Tech-Blog-TV (Jan, 2011)The screen is a nice size so you can demo applications or slide desks on it to a small group.
Eee Slate EP121 by AZ-Teach (Feb, 2011)On the upside, for graphic artists and people who mainly interact with the stylus or touching large items on the screen, the ep121 is a beautiful piece of hardware.
screen resolution
Eee Slate EP121 by LotharAmazon (Jun, 2011)I would've been happier with a smaller screen with a higher dot pitch of resolution, even if it was still the same total resolution, especially if it were more precise with the touch interface.
Eee Slate EP121 by James-J.-Pyke--Pajkossy (Apr, 2011)I'll say up front that I am very happy with nearly everything about this computer, and with that said, I'll laundry-list some details in the form of some specific "likes" and "dislikes" - after I tell you...What I hoped to be able to do with my EP121.

cpu speed
Eee Slate EP121 by queenforever--gadgetfreak (Aug, 2011)Other than that the processor is solid too, can handle many tasks but do not expect it to perform like a mainstream processor.
Eee Slate EP121 by Leyland-Needham (Mar, 2011)So when I saw the eee slate and that not only was it an Asus product but that it had a wacom digitizer, a multitouch capacitive screen, an i5 processor and was priced under $1500, I had no choice but to get it, and I am happy I did.

4.5 hour
13 hour
8 hour
Eee Slate EP121 by Madadh (Aug, 2011)The tablet is sturdy, the battery life is performance laptop quality, that means about 2.5 hours; as for when this came out it was running some of the best hardware around.
Eee Slate EP121 by FranzThe battery life could be better, but with some configuring I got it to last 4 hours and that is pretty decent.

Screen
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 100% by by M.-Orzel (Feb, 2011)The screen is bright and the resolution is about right for a display this size.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 77% by by c|net (May, 2011)The display resolution is 1,280x800 pixels, similar to the 1,366x768 pixels found on most small to midsize laptops, and the screen's nearly edge-to-edge glass looks slick, although it's a fingerprint magnet.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 100% by by DoubleE (Mar, 2011)Touch input is accurate and the wacom digitizer is spot on.

Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 100% by by George-Allen-Papapetrou--Allen (Mar, 2011)Having hacked my way from S100 CP/M in the late 1970s to Linux in the 1990s and Android in the 2000s, I'm now interested in a Windows slate that just works out of the box.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 77% by by c|net (May, 2011)Microsoft has hinted that Windows 8 will be much more tablet-friendly, but we heard the same claims about Windows 7 (and even Windows Vista).

Operating system
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 100% by by Cracgor (Feb, 2012)Would highly recommend Windows 8 Pro for any people with this device still holding onto Windows 7.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 40% by by DaFord (Aug, 2011)I'm waiting for Windows 10 to come out that's made for the tablet world, Windows 7 isn't right for tablets, period.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 80% by by CottageDweller (Jun, 2011)Overall, I like it, but am thinking perhaps it doesn't 100% replace a laptop, and it definitely has some software kinks to work out to function more smoothly.
Touch
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 80% by by James-J.-Pyke--Pajkossy (Apr, 2011)I really like the pen+touch interface, and now that I have climbed the learing curve it provides a very very smooth user experience.

Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 60% by by Yooj-Lim (Mar, 2012)Battery life is short - about 3 hours of normal surfing on the Internet or about 2.5 hours watching a film.
Asus Eee Slate EP121 64 GB | Rated 100% by by ChristineDon--Thought-Amplified (May, 2011)But it also takes about 4-6 hours to charge back up fully from about 10% to full.
