ExoPC slate resembles the Apple iPad in design

It is expected for a lot of iPads lookalikes to hit the market soon for two reasons: everyone is copying the best, that’s a fact and the iPad has a simple design so it’s hard not to do a slate type PC that won’t look like an iPad at least in terms of design. ExoPC is a 8.9 inch (1024 x 600 pixels screen) slate that does the latter, as it features a different hardware inside: Windows 7 Professional powered by an Atom N270 CPU running at 1.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM, a 32 GB SSD drive expandable with the use of a SD card slot.

ExoPC: a nice looking slate tablet

This kind of configuration is clearly more flexible that the closed platform of the iPad, will truly offer full web browser experience but won’t run as smooth as you would expect. Add to that the up to 4 hours battery life and clearly there’s no comparison with the iPad. I can’t say the ExoPC is bad, or that it looks bad but for its price, 780$, I’m sure you can find something better. All you have to do is wait a little till all big manufacturers release their Slate tablets later this year. Let the competition begin my friends!
