Date added: 10/26/2011 Bit-Tech - Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 Review

After engaging Autobots to design its last tablet, Asus has avoided groan-worthy jokes with its latest Slider Eee Pad. The Eee Pad Transformer was a tablet with an add-on keyboard section (which also housed an extra battery), making it ideal for when you wanted to switch between portability or doing some serious work. The Slider is for less decisive people – those that dither or worry about not taking the keyboard section with them ‘just in case’.

 This is because the Slider has a permanently-attached keyboard, which slides out from under the 1,280 x 800 pixel, 10.1in multi-touch screen. However, as the keyboard's dimensions measure only 250 x 70mm and there’s no extra battery unit, the Slider weighs much less than the Transformer in netbook mode – 960g rather than 1,335g, to be precise. It’s much thinner than the Transformer too, even if the 17mm thickness is noticeably more than a typical tablet.
