An important issue with a round tablet to work is that you definitely need to get down to some right typing and onscreen keyboard just doesn't cut it. Asus first attempted to solve this problem with Eee Pad Android tablet transformer, with optional keyboard docking station, which is flexible, if somewhat bulky.
For the Eee Pad Slider, Asus has gone back to the drawing board and come up with a tablet that has a keyboard which hidden in the bottom of the screen. Raise the screen behind the cause behind on a pair of hinge, sliding back to reveal a keyboard underneath. This is quite clever and mechanism of hinge felt subtle and difficult. When the keyboard is exposed, the screen sits at about a 45 degree angle. This is more appropriate to use it on your lap or on the table, which is useful because there are no adjustments are possible.
They keyboard is not entirely successful, though. While it is possible to get used to a small button and a light touch, spaced a bit annoying to use as keyboard lips gets in the way. To avoid the error, You must adjust Your position a little typing. Once we have got used to the keyboard we found that we can type faster than using the on-screen keyboard is soft, but not fast on the larger transformer.
Where is the size of the Slider to win a tablet with integrated keyboard. At 17 mm deep, it's a bit thicker than the pure tablet, such as the Apple iPad 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 6.3, but narrower than a transformer in the mode dock.
