Asus Prices and Dates the Eee Transformer and EP121 Tablets For Europe

Asus has just confirmed pricing and availability for the Eee Transformer and the Eee Slate EP121 - but not in the US. First off is the one above, which you should already know as the Eee Transformer which packs a Tegra 2 chipset along with Android "Honeycomb" and that external keyboard that you might need. The 16GB and 32GB models will be available in Europe for £379 ($608 USD) and £429 ($688 USD), respectively.

On the other hand you have the Eee Slate EP121 tablet below which is obviously running Microsoft's Windows 7. This tablet features a 12.1-inch display with an active digitizer, an Intel Core i5-470UM CPU, WiFi b/g/n support, a stylus if you need it, and a 64GB SSD. This one will be available on April 10th on Amazon UK for £999 ($1,602 USD).

If you're actually one of the people who want to run Windows 7 Home Premium on a tablet then Asus might have the one for you. The expensive Eee Slate EP121 tablet is scheduled for an April 10th release in the UK with Amazon listing the tablet for a whopping £999.99 ($1,627 USD).

Definitely sounds powerful.

It was up for pre-orders before and now it's available. Yes, the Asus Eee Slate EP121 tablet running full-blown Windows 7 is now available for $999.99.

Beneath the large 12.1-inch (1,280 x 800 resolution) display, you'll be getting an Intel Core i5-470UM CPU, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, Intel HD graphics, a miniHDMI port, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 2MP webcam, two USB 2.0 ports, a 2-in-1 card reader, a digitizer, a 4-cell battery that might only last about 4 hours, and Windows 7 Home Premium.

It looks like a decent tablet on paper but we're going to have to get someone to video review this one and see if Windows 7 works on this overpriced but powerful tablet. Check it out on Amazon.

Amazon Taking Pre-Orders For the Eee Slate EP121 Windows 7 Tablet

The just-announced Asus Eee Slate EP121 has just found its way onto Amazon for pre-orders. As expected, it's going for $999 and that's quite a bit to pay for a tablet. Luckily, beneath the 12.1-inch display you'll find an Intel Core i5-470UM CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, and Windows 7. The 64GB model will cost you $1,099 so it is $100 cheaper. At this price, you might as well get a full-fledged notebook - at least, that's my opinion. Check it out on Amazon if you're still interested.

Asus has announced their second tablet of the day and the company has teased this one a few times before.

Other specs include a 12-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a Wacom digitizer, 2GB / 4GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD, a front-facing camera, and an HDMI port. Windows 7 doesn't really work with a tablet but Asus is still trying to make it work and this harder should run it pretty smoothly. This will be available later this month and will cost you right around $999.
