A 12.1" Windows 7, core i5 powered capacitive tablet WITH A BUILT IN WACOM DIGITIZER SCREEN AND STYLUS. I will be buying this the second it gets released.

**Ziergdsx18** · 01-6-2011, 02:15 PM

Anybody would want it.

Quigly · 01-6-2011, 02:18 PM

I will sell my body for that piece of equipment.

[TeRa] · 01-6-2011, 02:19 PM

thread title couldn't have said it better

**flashpantss** · 01-6-2011, 02:19 PM

That looks so sexy. I might get one when it releases as well.

**i love you** · 01-6-2011, 02:33 PM

Looks really sick but a thousand bucks? Holy shit xD

**ninjaKIWI** · 01-6-2011, 02:34 PM

I think tablet PCs are really dumb, but enjoy.

EDIT: Like don't get me wrong they're pretty cool when done right, but.

**darkshark** · 01-6-2011, 02:38 PM

Pre-ordered the 64gb model.

This is definitely, definitely done right. Dual core, 4gb ram, W7, USB ports, camera, card reader, Wacom pressure sensitive screen, multi-touch input, and it comes with a bluetooth keyboard and vertical stand/case...it's pretty much the power of a full laptop, but sexified.

FYI Wacom sells their own drawing pads with built in screens, and sell for much, much more than this. The Wacom ones aren't even computers either, just screen input. So this Asus pad is a steal.

Yeah, ASUS is easily one of my favourite PC component manufacturers alongside Corsair. To be honest, this actually seems like a pretty awesome deal for those specs.

I kind of want it shhh don't tell my friends

**ChrisReams** · 01-6-2011, 03:07 PM

With those specs, it seems pretty sweet. That's a pretty penny for it, but it looks well worth it.

**darkshark** · 01-6-2011, 03:13 PM

One thing I'm not liking is the expected battery life, which is only 3 hours. That's the one thing that really impressed me about the iPad was the 10+ hour battery life.

ps, here's the Wacom Cintiq 12wx, which retails for $1k, and like I said, it's only the screen, not the whole computer, and it's not portable.

**Zageron** · 01-6-2011, 03:21 PM

If the battery life was 8 hours, I would buy it.

**sakura080789** · 01-6-2011, 03:23 PM

i think i came from that shiny new piece of technology. do want indeed

Crashfan3 · 01-6-2011, 03:45 PM

I only have $600 on hand, otherwise I'd be buying it too.

**shonen7** · 01-6-2011, 03:51 PM

Its pretty cool but for 1k its out of my price range

**C@!** · 01-6-2011, 04:03 PM

That thing looks BEAUTIFUL just the battery life...

If they make better batteries in the future I'd go for it
