MSI Slatebook tablet won’t outsell Apple’s iPad, Say’s Chairman
Posted on 25. May, 2010 by TabletMan in Tablets
The MSI companies new announcement was seen coming a mile away but it’s still nice to have official information. The MSI Slatebook tablet we posted about earlier is now official and will be hitting the US and Europe in the third quarter of this year. MSI’s Slatebook is based around an Intel Atom Z series processor, multi-touch capability, Windows 7, a built-in 3G and Wi-Fi module, and USB and HDMI ports. The Slatebook will also carry a final weight of 800g.
Somehow though this device isn’t being expected to succeed at the same level as the Apple iPad just yet according to the companies Chairman Joseph Hsu. Hsu believes demand for tablet PC devices will really turn up in 2011 when there is a more established assortment of applications and services tailored for tablet devices. Although Hsu did say the company is currently in talks with telecommunications companies for connection services for the Slatebook. The pricing for the Slatebook is still unknown but we’ll be on the look out for more news and hopefully pictures of this device.[Source]
