“11.6
Windows 7 Professional
Rated 80% by by Twinkle-Toes--Truth-Seeker (Dec, 2011)lightweight for a tablet this size, I don't think it feels to me much heavier than Ipad if at all.
12.1”
Windows 7
Rated 80% by 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.
screen size
11.6"
12.1"
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Graymer (Apr, 2013)I love the size of the screen and it doesn't feel like it will fall a part.
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
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.
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.

Series 7 11.6" Slate by Patrick-Byers (Mar, 2012)I had a webcam in 1998 that produced better video and still pictures than the camera on this system.
Eee Slate EP121 by James-J.-Pyke--Pajkossy (Apr, 2011)Image quality is really wonderful for everything I've looked at onscreen.
processor
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Steve--lukkystarr (May, 2012)With a dual core processor it was adequate for it's intended purpose, which was to be as paperless as possible.
Eee Slate EP121 by TheTexan (Feb, 2012)the processing speed is impressive, even when multi-multi tasking, thanks to the dual core i5.

cpu speed
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Brad (Jan, 2012)The screen looks great (especially next to the Asus slate) and the processor is best-in-class.
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.
battery life
7 hour
4.5 hour
Series 7 11.6" Slate by Boris-Lokhvitsky (Nov, 2011)Very nice bright screen; camera and audio are not brilliant but pretty decent; battery life is not amazing but not bad either.
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.

resolution
Samsung Series 7 11.6" Slate 128GB | Rated 80% by by Brad (Jan, 2012)I wish that there was just a little bit more screen real estate, but it's almost as good as the comparably priced Cintiq and the resolution is better than the Asus Eee Slate, so it's not a huge complaint.
