ExoPC Slate in Depth Review: Pt 1, Unboxing

Here at Windows 7 News we’re always bringing you the best and latest news and as of late last year, in-depth hardware reviews (with our in-depth review of Windows Phone and the HTC Mozart handset). We’ve still more to come with a bumper review of NetGear home AV kit next month, but to kick-start the new year we’ve obtained one of the very first ExoPC Windows 7 slates and, this week, we’ll bring you a complete in-depth look at this tablet, what it’s like to run Windows 7 on such a device, the unique ExoUI interface and how it stacks up against the competition, namely the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. 

So what is the ExoPC slate?  This new slate from a Canadian start-up is essentially a netbook in a different shell with an Intel Atom running at 1.66GHz accompanied by 2Gb of RAM.  ExoPC are clearly making this a luxury product though by including either a 32Gb or 64Gb SSD and a 11.6 inch capacitive multi-touch widescreen display with a native resolution at 1366 by 768 pixels. You can read the full version of this review at our sister site, Windows7News.
