Masterpad Windows 7 Tablet

4

Pegatron has decided to compete with Steve Jobs’ iPad by unveiling  a tablet prototype today called the MasterPad. At 14mm thin and sporting a 1366 x 768 resolution, the first impression is quite promising. The MasterPad has a 11.6 inch screen, two USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, a memory card reader, accelerometer, 3G connectivity, a 32gb or 64gb solid state drive, and runs Windows 7 Home Premium.

Weighing a total of 990g, the MasterPad does have some downsides. There are only 5 hours of battery life and the processor is a 1.66Ghz Atom N450. 1080p and flash playback and capability are promised, and Pegatron is hoping for a release in the next few months.

    Well, netbooks -> tablet netbooks -> tablets
    also ipad -> netbooks
    and ipad -> tablets
    so it make sense that
    netbooks -> tablets.

    …and is that your hand I see? You work for a company where they allow you to show those stuff?

    That was a photo taken by the Pegatron folks, not me. The original photo was from Engadget (which I cited at the bottom).
