Eee Pad Slider also features a bright IPS screen, full-size USB port (for attaching the storage drive or mouse) and the soft portion slim casing. Read the reviews Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 from us, so that you get to know and be considered you to have this product.
DesignEee Pad Slider has the dimensions 10, 7 x 7.1 x 0.7 inches (with a retractable keyboard) and weighs 953 grams, bigger and heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (9.7 x 6.7 x 0, 3 inches, 565gram) and the Eee Pad Transformer (10.7 x 6.9 x 0.5 inches, 680gram). However, with the dock attached keyboar, Transformer much weight is 1.27 Kg.
Eee Pad Slider SL101 has a touchscreen surface is smooth and unusually thick panels are black with the sides curved gray. Size of the panel on each side is 1 inch and 0.9 inch at the top and bottom of the screen, looks bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (0.6 inches). However, this provides extra space for a wider keyboard. The back surface of a very grippable plastic coated, plastic with soft touch plastic with a gray accent lines give this device an attractive two-tone appearance.
By inserting a finger in between two layers of the casing (on the front-facing webcam) and push up, you can flip Eee Pad SL101 Slider sliding mode. In this mode, the screen is at a 45 degree angle, exposing a full QWERTY keyboard that has a soft material. Sliding keyboard device requires you to take and hold it with two hands, but quite smooth sliding motion. Coupled with a very sturdy hinge.
KeyboardEee Pad Slider SL101 has a QWERTY keyboard complete with buttons, including a special line number, the arrow keys, buttons khusu for Home, functions Back, Menu and Search.
Although you can use the arrow keys to navigate around the desktop and select the icon, but most will use your finger to launch applications. Unfortunately, Asus Android tablet does not include a pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard, although you can add an external mouse if you want this tablet works like a regular laptop.
Although you can type with accuracy a large and comfortable compared with the virtual keyboard, but the keys on the Eee Pad Slider SL101 keyboard is smaller than netbooks in general. So a little bit uncomfortable when typing a long period of time.
Eee Pad Slider SL101 also comes with two pre-loaded virtual keyboard, the keyboard and the keyboard of the Asus Android itself. We suggest you use the keyboard for the Asus numbers and letters placed on the same screen, giving the other symbols and even offer a similar fashion with Swype trail.
Unfortunately, as with Swype, a predictive capability is very limited footprint mode. Both Asus and Android keyboard supports haptic feedback.
Ports and ButtonsAsus Eee Pad Slider SL101 has multiple ports that are useful and you will not find on other Android tablet. On the right side there are some USB ports that you can use to install the USB Flash Disk, external hard disk, keyboard or mouse. At the top there is a mini HDMI port for connecting to a TV or external monitor and docking connector proprietary should you use to connect to an AC adapter for charging or PC to copy the file. The left side there is a microSD card reader, a special reset button, volume and power buttons.
When you attach an external USB mouse into the USB port, the pointer will appear and you can move around the Android 3.2 UI with very Mudan and click on the icon as if it were a desktop operating system. But you will see more and more when you use a wireless mouse.
