Asus EEE Slate PC

The newest iPad rival out there, the Asus EEE Slate PC, is well-created, mainly because it applies very new features that aren't really Windows-like. Microsoft named its motto as "It's very PC, it's not very PC." That phrase is not easy to understand; however, it is the first Windows PC  ever to feature a wireless remote control program and Windows Product Scout. Unlike the iPad, the EEE PC 's battery only lasts a little more than 3 hours, so expect it to drain its battery quickly during your trip. New technology in the slate includes hand and drawing recognition. The PC can also recognize a hand-drawn math formula and other complicated gestures. It also features a front-facing webcam for video-chat. The Asus EEE Slate PC runs Windows 7 Home Premium. The slate can come in either 32GB ($969.03) or 64GB ($1,099).
