The
most obvious reason one might buy a netbook instead of a tablet today
is that there’s just no substitute for a real keyboard. Accessory makers
have been selling Bluetooth keyboards and dock-like contraptions for a
while now, but these aren’t the most comfortable or convenient to use.
Sensing an opportunity in a market full of similar-looking iPad clones,
Asus has developed the first Android tablet with a truly integrated
keyboard.
At
0.9 kg, the Eee Pad Slider weighs at least a few hundred grams more
than most 10-inch tablets, and is at least twice as thick. It’s also a
lot wider, which allows for a decent-sized keyboard, but results in a
thick black bezel around the screen.
The only thing missing is an easily
accessible rotation lock switch. The stereo speakers are reasonably
loud, but strangely located behind the keyboard, which means they’re
blocked and muffled whenever the device is closed.
The usual suite of Google apps, including Maps, Latitude,
Gmail and YouTube are of course available, as is an Nvidia app called
TegraZone, which lists a number of games that are available for you to
buy.
