The ExoPC Slate is now abuzz across the net as a video has surfaced showing it in operation. This slate is supposed to be showcased at Computex Taipei in the following month. The above video shows a fairly speedy boot, smooth video playback, probably due to the Broadcom chip that the ExoPC Slate houses. This slate has an N270 Atom processor, 2GB of RAM and runs on the Windows 7 operating system, which is certainly interesting. The screen is 8.9-inches running at a 1024x600 screen resolution.

Yup. You heard it. Read it. Whatever. Intel showed off new Moorestown - what is soon to be named Atom Z-Series - mobile phone processor by playing Quake III at 100fps. It also has little trouble processing 1080p video. See the video.

Use underpowered processor: check. Use overpowered operating system: check. Recycle iPhone stylings: check. Rename it to something similar: check. There you have it, an iPad clone called 'ePad' that may only be barely more streamlined an experience than rollerskating on gravel.
It features a 10.1 inch touch screen with a resolution of 1024x600, also supporting Wifi, 3G, GPS, the rotating G-sensor and GPS. All of this on an Atom N450 1.66g processor using an integrated GMA 3150. Hard drive sizes range from 160 to 320 GB, there can be 1G or 2G memory - not really the sort of specs to load Windows 7 onto but, alas, the developers of this product, the likes of which are by now fairly familiar, have decided to go full steam ahead with Windows 7, all of this for the price of $394 USD.
