EXOPC WINDOWS 7 TABLET - FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The ExoPC is an 11.6 inch tablet computer with a high resolution 1366 x 768 pixels. It is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor. The tablet runs Windows 7. It has 2GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD. The most interesting thing about the tablet is perhaps the unique user interface that runs on top of the Windows OS making it easier to launch and close applications. And in case you prefer the Windows user interface instead of the custom user interface, there is a dedicated button to turn off the custom UI.

Because it runs Windows 7, the ExoPC can run virtually any Windows app. The folks at Engadget got to spend some time with the tablet and here is what they have to say. The tablet’s custom on-screen keyboard is not yet fully functional, although you can use the virtual keyboard that comes with Windows 7. The user interface is quite responsive. The tablet can also play 1080p HD video, thanks to the Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator.

On the flip side, ExoPC may get only around 4 hours of battery life. This, in fact, is a problem with most sub $1000 Windows tablets on the market. ExoPC is no different. But over all, it looks like an interesting machine.
