Asus Eee Slate EP121 Laptop

The Eee Slate takes a slightly left-field approach to the tablet market, in that it goes for the biggest and best of everything, a fact that's reflected in its £997 asking price. Where most of the competition offers tablets of around 10 inches or less, the Slate's screen is a relatively huge 12.1in – and with an IPS panel protected by Gorilla glass it's as good as it gets. Where rivals contain underpowered Atom processors and max out at 2GB of RAM, the Slate rocks on with a full fat mobile Core i5 and 4GB of RAM. Combined with a 64GB SSD, it offers more power than many budget desktops, allowing for effortless productivity and multi-tasking.
