The iPad Contenders
Hopefully, you’ve all heard of the the Eee Pad and the Eee tablet by Asus, a nametag one can’t take lightly. Just after the Apple folks have released their iPad, many computer companies made their own too. Asus recently unveiled their mimicked tablets before the media at Computex Taipei, the largest ICT exhibition in Asia. Like the iPad, the Eee Pad and Eee tablet boasts multimedia features that would pull users in. Loaded with lots of immersive application, these two strikes much the same effect as the Ipad. But what gives Eee Pad an edge from Apple’s is that it is equipped with a powerful Intel Intel Core 2 Duo CULV processor andNVIDIA Tegra Graphics chip; it actually runs on Windows operating systems. The Eee Pad comes with a 12-inch screen and weighs about 675-grams.On the other hand, the Eee tablet is more of an e-reader, a hybrid of notepad, e-reader and media player.I wouldn’t say the two outshines the iPad but in some other respect it does. Asus indeed does a marvelous job!
