screen resolution
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Zhou-Zhiliang--Joe (Jun, 2012)The slate claims to have 11 in screen, sounds big, but actually due to its non regular shape and resolution, I found a lot of webpages cannot be displayed correctly if used vertically, it can only display part of web on the screen and you have to move the slide bar left and right to see the whole website, very inconvenient.
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Sonic (Aug, 2012)A good news is that the AMOLED screen is really bright and I am able to work with about 40% brightness, and this prolongs the battery life to some extent.
