I bought one end of Oct. 2011. After 5 days of standard use, it started resetting at random times. Technical support in Israel gave an unprofessional handling. I regret this purchase, though it has a cool user interface. Don't buy if you live in Israel.

@LilyoProductions Dont get confused by the two models: Asus eee slate and Asus eee pad ep121. The eee slate is currently out in the market which is running on a core i5 processor. The eee pad ep121 is running on a CULV processor. They both look different, work differently and have different thickness..
@idiotkrati the battery life is 8 hours on the Asus eee pad ep 101 and the battery life on the Asus eee pad ep 121 is 10 hours. Battery life will be having an additional 8 hours on the keyboard dock... Please do not get confused by the two different models: Asus eee slate and Asus eee pad. The Asus slate has a battery life of 4.5hours.
@lllbenjolll indeed,the battery life is everything, especially for me.I am always on the run.I have now Ipad2 and I can promise you it can do everything a pc does,and it does it better, thousands of apps.I have not felt the lack of flash, almost 99% of sites I visit :available.The bad side is the lack of freedom like a pc,but I am using it only to read watch note and send emails,and ipad does it good no crash and all my books and notes are categorized in this tiny device.
@idiotkrati can I play rmvb movie in ipad2? can i download the movie from ipad2? can I play flash? Can I build up a data base? Can I write program? Sorry the answers are no!
tablets exists before iPad, but ipad makes tablets looks better, so, this tablet fever its now just to beat the ipad... I see stupid like an invest to buy an iPad, its not profitable, its very limitated, now at this time, to buy an iPad or to buy a "COby kYROS" its the same shit, cause it will past so soon than in 6 months you will find it like an ancients time machines. so, I rather to buy a good computer, with tactil screen, and capabilities to enhance memory, ssd, and ram.
Apple makes toys for children. This is something an adult can use. I've been looking wor a suitable windows based tablet and this looks to be more that suitable. I will definately do more research on it. You can keep the i-pad.
If a tablet PC could run Windows software and other compatible, besides having a descente hardware and battery time of at least 10 hours, certainly would buy it but for now I just have to wait.
PS: so far only the Asus Eee Tablet Pad ExoPC and seem closer to what I expect.
get this straight: only Steve Jobs can Kill the ipad. A lot of people talk about pcfans vs ifans, when the truth is, the fight exists because apple sets the trend, and the others will try to improve that trend. In other words, talent will reach the unachievable goal, while genius will set that goal.
@tomazzin Apple havent set a trend. Touch screen tablets have been out for years, just no company has marketed it like Apple has. Apple has brought out a product which is worse technically that its competition, but pushed it forward to the public.
This ASUS will never sell that well, unless they also do big scale TV marketing.
this thing seems too big. Apple does a good job at figuring out what size things should be. Anything bigger than a half an inch bigger than the ipad is too big.
umm from where you are isnt even a justin bieber song? get your facts straight. k? and dont hate. no one really cares what you think of him, hes gunna sing eather way, so why hate on i 16 year old boy you dont even know a thing about? yeah, you're so cool.
Considering ASUS is highly regarded as the computer company with the least hardware failures, and that their netbook line is one of the best in terms of quality, portability, and power... I'm pretty sure that they can pull it together and compete with the iPad. Both are great devices... but we'll have to wait and see as the market is currently being dominated by the iPad. Also for those of you who are saying the Asus' scrolling was laggy, remember that it was a prototype.
I don't want a desktop replacement tablet computer. I want mobility (cellular service) and fluidity (no lag) with a tablet computer. I am also looking for a tablet that isn't built with "proprietary" in mind. I want the freedom to install programs of my own flavor. Also, I choose where I can get my programs and not have to visit some online App "Store or Market".
A tablet should be an extension of your main computer.
The thing about Apple is that IT JUST WORKS, and windows stuff doesn't. When u need it, u hav to spend some time fixing it, before u use it. The multi touch screen that ASUS has is just horrible (its not touch, its a nailscreen), and I bet that shit will lag and stop working more than everything else in the world, and don't tell me it won't because i've lost all my trust on windows and I've spent too much money on it already. If you want a pad, buy an iPad, u want a desktop, you may think twice.
Just watched some 'live' version of the 'page' scrolling, looks laggy as hell, nothing like the ipad's smooth interface. Its little things like that that put people off.
There are reasons why stuffing 500 hp into a supra doesn't make it any more desirable than a Lamborghini, even if it can potentially go faster in a straight line. It just sucks to drive around all day when your body is aching all over from the lack of comfort.
All the others are a step behind ipad. Nothing compares in terms of software, build quality and support. That's why apple can charge a premium. their products are better
I hope they are not like the pieces of junk Asus sold 2 years ago in the beginning of the netbook fever. Imagine a tablet with 2 hours of battery life, for example! Or overheating on your lap...
i dont see it beating apple.....i bought my ipad for 300$ that 16GB, honestly apple is a hard company to beat when it comes to being highly advance devices, they were the first to make a lot of certain apps that other companies couldnt do. Apple is gonna be a hard challenge to compeat with
@MsNurseBelle How do you see the iPad as technically advanced? It has a 1ghz processor, 16/32/or 64 gb of storage. Can't run any Windows/Microsoft software. I can buy a 10 year old second hand laptop and have better specs and functionality than that. 16gb of storage???
@MsNurseBelle Apps? Show me an app that allows it to connect it to a printer? Show me bluetooth file transfer from a storage device. Show me how to connect an external hard drive? Show me how to plug in a USB stick? Show me how it runs Microsoft Office.....ohh duh, it can't.
@ytcf71 I thought the iPad will get printing soon?
Though I wonder why won't they let iPads run OSX so that it can run all the *programs* which regular OSX users uses on a daily... oh wait, most of them just bootcamp windows most of the time don't they? Actually that explains a lot. I wanna see stats on the % of OSX users who don't dual boot windows. On & don't start replying with "me". You're just 1 person. Apple may make you feel significant but truth is, you ain't.
@ytcf71 Anyways, here's what I said blunted, paraphrased, and abbrev'd.
The iPad has hardware capabilities to run OSX, anything with more than 900MHz actually can do so swimmingly (VM tested). So why do vendors make windows tablets and not windows mobile tablets? While apple insists on making its tablet with its own OS and all? Well obviously they hate compatibility and can't face the fact people buy their computers as fashion accessories... So from this we can see apple = technologically worse
@FruitRandom Ipad can't run OSX. Processor speed is nothing to do with it, it doesnt have the compatible hardware architecture. The iPad is so far away from a Mac it might as well be a Commadore Amiga.
@ytcf71 First of all do you even have a apple device? If u do theirs a upgrade called 4.2.1 which allows you to be able to print from the device called "Air-print"... The iPhone, IPhone 3GS, iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 1G-4G all have bluetooth to send out to a storage device, my laptop has Bluetooth which I am able to connect to my iPad to recieve typed letters for when I had a online job interview... The new iPad coming soon has a USB port for like a memory stick or whatever
@MsNurseBelle How does airprint connect to my Canon/HP or what ever printer I have sitting on my desk next to me? It has a USB lead, or a parralel port. - The iPad has neither, so it can't do it. LOL, and get a program 'like' Microsoft Office? Umm, why not just use Microsoft Office, seeing as its the most popular....
@ytcf71 apple has thought of a USB port th iPad is their newest item.... This is how it works the company makes a new product they don't go all advance they just keep it simple to see if they can make a good profit, then later once they decide they need to do more upgrades because of the demand of the iPad they will add better features so the consumers will buy there new product... Just like the new iPod touch they've add more features making the company a bigger profit
@MsNurseBelle Yes, basically they rip everyone off at the start with an inferior product, and then three years down the line they finally give it all the features everyone else has had for the last 10 years. Well done Apple...problem is by that time everyone else has moved on.
@ytcf71 "I tried Cloud Browse's free access on my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi. I found browsing and page refreshes to be very slow, certainly slower than using a mobile browser directly. I tried playing some Flash videos, which did pop up. But there were often hiccups in the streaming of those videos, so I wasn't able to get a smooth performance out of them. And a few times I did get the message that the server for anonymous access (meaning free) users was full, so I had to wait and try again later."
@ytcf71 And the Microsoft office,you can buy apps to "hack" that stuff to the iPad or buy a replacement program that works just like it... Now Hun, I just basically answered all your questions... And if your goin to ask about sites that need Java or Adobe Flash, it's called Cloud Browse
@MsNurseBelle 'Cloud Browse' - PLEASE....do you know what that is. Thats your screen, viewing the screen of ANOTHER computer that CAN run flash.....
I know what, get your iPad, take out all the back of it so its just a clear peice of glass. Now sit it in front of a PC or windows laptop, and run Flash on that computer, but look at it through the iPad glass so youre 'pretending' to run flash.....because thats basically what it is ;)
Ipad - limited, dated, backwards, full of hacks and bodges.
'Through Cloud Browse, you can connect your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to a remote computer running in one of AlwaysOn's data centers. Instead of surfing sites directly, you control your own browsing session on the remote PC, which can pull up just about any Web site content, including Flash. Those pages are then streamed to your iPhone'
So basically your seeing on your screen, the screen of a SUPERIOR, non Apple machine.
@MsNurseBelle "The free version naturally comes with certain limitations. You're stuck viewing videos at a slow frame rate--a way for the company to cut down on bandwidth costs. Only a certain number of free users are allowed to connect at one time, so you may not get access if the remote PC is too busy. Free users can also get bumped off if a paying customer needs to jump on board."
I can't see no reason why a programmer couldn't make the 10" version full windows 7 compatible, if there is a block on full W7. The hardware is the same, so i can't see a problem. Has anyone heard anything about the 10" not being compatible?
I think the 12 inch version could definitely go up against mac having a full windows 7 OS. But the windows portable OS I wouldn't think to stand up vs Android or iOS because of the vast amount of apps each one has. Id definitely buy the full windows 7 based one over any of them for sure.
$399 to $499!! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT IS CHEAP! I can barely find an iPad on ebay that's $200, it's usually in the $500 to $900 price range. Also... 10 hour battery life, that's insane. If I get this, my laptop's going into storage.
@toiomondello Same here, I've used both OS. I'm a PC guy, my friends mock me though, and say that I'm going to be married to a computer instead of a woman.
It will kill Apple not only technically. The Asus ep121 is a computer not an oversized iPod! iPad is a gadget whereas the ep121 can be used both as a notebook, pad or tablet. I was a sworn user of Macs since the first Mac back in 1984. Now I wouln't use any Mac. Windows is the standard.

@toiomondello that's it!! it's just the style that people are after... the eee pad will be more practical and give you more for your money, but you will always find people wasting money on aesthetic apple.
Its like losing weight, in times of famine, those who are overweight will survive for longer, so why lose weight? its all superficial right?
Why be any smarter? its not like early 500k a year is going to be any better if you're already earning 100k a year, what are you gona do with all that money?
Why own a boat and go boating? Just sitting at home is enough man!.
Gosh, why do people even waste their money on luxury? They need to lose some emotion and spirit.
... none of these 'Pad' things coming out at the moment ever seem to have any support for a stylus. If this was Wacom 'penabled', I would buy it as soon as... but alas... no.
Def ipad killer! If the 10" would cost 350 / 400 dollars or around 325 euro it will kill the ipad. The Asus has way better hardware and more options. Plus for a fully functional ipad 3g you could get 2 of these!!! Would be crazy to get the icrap.
Yes it is the iPad killer. The most common thing I hear about the iPad is that you cannot connect any storage via usb or use a web cam. Also the iPad cannot browse files. I'm guessing also this could run Office 2010.
Never fell in love with the iPad because its like a giant iPhone iMO.. Very useless. Depending on price (hoping it is only $600-$700) it will kill the iPad :P I'm not hating on Apple or anything, I own a iPhone too.
@gussy031 Yes but they put in obvious uprgades that apple makes you pay an extra hundred bucks for. Its sad when your competition makes your ideas better.
@Fredrinski I wasn't saying they did anything wrong, maybe I should have said they "learned" from Apple and make their design sleek. You gotta admit most tabets in the market are pretty ugly in terms of design when compared to the ipad - not to mention they are also heavy. I personally prefer tablet PCs over ipad - but they Tablet PCs still have a long way to go.
The sad thing is, this is not an iPad. It has nothing to do with it being a bad product, I believe this is a great product, especially with the Core 2 Duo CULV. The problem lies with advertising. Apple always gets the best of the spotlight, and the companies that, imho provide better products, are left behind. It's sad, but it's fact. This won't stop me from wanting to get that 12" beauty though!
I really want one. I'm waiting because I'm sick of having to sync things with the macbook instead of being able to just simply comnnect a camera to it to load pictures. I mean if the ipad could wirelessly transfer stuff then it would be fantastic and I would buy one but it don't even do that. I recon all tablets should be able to wirelessly connect to any type of computer or laptop so you don't have to cable sync everything or have to use sd or usb, which is most of the time slow and painful
@tezros haha ur right the ipad sucks i mean it cant even have a web cam i mean come on now the tiny ipod nano has a camera but the huge ipad doesn't and same thing with the ipod touch!?!?
I think everyone is overlooking the real issue here. This is a great looking device with several features I would love to have. However "...when they hit the market in early 2011" is a serious problem. This tablet is great now, not a year from now. They are already behind the curve and haven't even launched the product. This is the same issue we're seeing across the entire slate category outside Apple...at the moment anyway.
@LeonardEmilian I think that the 10 inch version is probably gonna cost around $300-400 and the 12 inch version around $500-600 Asus does not really have an insane profit margin pricing structure, they make insane profit with volume. When NetBooks first came out, very few people actually knew what the hell they were, but when the mainstream media covered them in a few late shows, many adults started buying them like crazy, Netbook fever. I tihnk something similar will happen with tablets.
this, as of yet, is the first device that i've seen that even rivals the iPad. i completely trust Asus, and they certainly don't disappoint. Overloaded with USEFUL features, and very fashionable (copied the iPad look just a little bit though :P) bigggest plus about this guy is the 10-inch version's COMPACT version of windows 7. Thank God, finally a company doesn't try to fit a desktop OS on an underpowered machine.
It is the iPad killer. I pad is a toy, it is not really a full-function computer. It is a pretty toy with support for BS apps with which you cant really do much serious work. The Asus Pad is a complete opposite, its a dynamic platform, which can be a full-function computer on the go, in the office/school/home with the docking addon and it is also customizable (Apple products are not customizable, Steve Jobs is a Nazi) I want this... hopefully it will not cost much more than $500...
@dluv4u2 This is news to me...I really dont care much about Apples stuff, since it is extremely overpriced and over beautified. Why would Asus make computers for Apple? Actually, why would Apple want Asus to make parts for their computers? Can you be more specific about the parts and components that Asus makes specifically for Apple...
I will most definitely buy the 12" model when it comes out next year. As an artist I love the idea of running photoshop and drawing right on the screen. This is the first tablet I've seen that looks like they've actually gotten it right. iPad has no appeal to me because I use my computers to actually do stuff rather than just waste time.
the Ipad cant do half as much as this can and it probably has like a 1GHZ processor. This is probably the cheapest best pads. and it has a web cam?? This is like 10x better than a laptop and the ipad. Im getting the 12" version because it has the full windows instead of a compact version. If only it had a disc reader on it. ASUS should make like a usb disc reading port that we can put cd/ dvds into and it can read them. And for the people who say the ipad has apps, well computers have programs.
iPad doesn't support unicode fonts and flash contents. Since this has Duo Core 2 Processor, Windows 7 Home Premium, 10 hrs of battery life, HDMI out put, mem card slot, webcam, (Regular)sim card slot , I believe this will kill iPad.
@themrharrison If you look at the ipad vs eeepad from a hardware perspective, since UI is mostly subjective anyway, the ipad is dead in the water. As far as UI goes if you really want to compare any iteration of windows will have a larger feature set and more flexibility than an ipad.
k i have an ipad and not saying this sucks..it looks very coool! but the ipad isnt meant to replace your laptop or ne thing like that its meant to just expand your experience of using technology and im siure this is awesome.

i dont see it beating apple.....i bought my ipad for 300$ that 16GB, honestly apple is a hard company to beat when it comes to being highly advance devices, they were the first to make a lot of certain apps that other companies couldnt do. Apple is gonna be a hard challenge to compeat with
MsNurseBelle 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle How do you see the iPad as technically advanced? It has a 1ghz processor, 16/32/or 64 gb of storage. Can't run any Windows/Microsoft software. I can buy a 10 year old second hand laptop and have better specs and functionality than that. 16gb of storage???

@ytcf71 I thought the iPad will get printing soon?
Though I wonder why won't they let iPads run OSX so that it can run all the *programs* which regular OSX users uses on a daily... oh wait, most of them just bootcamp windows most of the time don't they? Actually that explains a lot. I wanna see stats on the % of OSX users who don't dual boot windows. On & don't start replying with "me". You're just 1 person. Apple may make you feel significant but truth is, you ain't.

@FruitRandom "I thought the iPad will get printing soon?"
Wow, computers in 1978 had the ability to print, and Apple have only just thought about this useful feature?
And lol at your comment, of an iPad running OSX, then emulating Windows, so somebody can run Microsoft..
So why not buy a Windows Tablet, which does that, and prints, and webcams, and bluetooths, and does all the hundreds of other things an iPad cant?

@ytcf71 Geez, grats to you for shoot the wrong people.
"So why not buy a Windows Tablet, which does that, and prints, and webcams, and bluetooths, and does all the hundreds of other things an iPad cant?"
Awesome way to repeat what I was hinting...
FruitRandom 1 year ago
@ytcf71 Anyways, here's what I said blunted, paraphrased, and abbrev'd.
The iPad has hardware capabilities to run OSX, anything with more than 900MHz actually can do so swimmingly (VM tested). So why do vendors make windows tablets and not windows mobile tablets? While apple insists on making its tablet with its own OS and all? Well obviously they hate compatibility and can't face the fact people buy their computers as fashion accessories... So from this we can see apple = technologically worse
FruitRandom 1 year ago
@FruitRandom Ipad can't run OSX. Processor speed is nothing to do with it, it doesnt have the compatible hardware architecture. The iPad is so far away from a Mac it might as well be a Commadore Amiga.

@ytcf71 First of all do you even have a apple device? If u do theirs a upgrade called 4.2.1 which allows you to be able to print from the device called "Air-print"... The iPhone, IPhone 3GS, iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 1G-4G all have bluetooth to send out to a storage device, my laptop has Bluetooth which I am able to connect to my iPad to recieve typed letters for when I had a online job interview... The new iPad coming soon has a USB port for like a memory stick or whatever
MsNurseBelle 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle How does airprint connect to my Canon/HP or what ever printer I have sitting on my desk next to me? It has a USB lead, or a parralel port. - The iPad has neither, so it can't do it. LOL, and get a program 'like' Microsoft Office? Umm, why not just use Microsoft Office, seeing as its the most popular....
ytcf71 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle "The new iPad coming soon has a USB port"
Soon. Why? Computers have had usb for the last 10 years. Why have Apple only just thought of this?
ytcf71 1 year ago
@ytcf71 apple has thought of a USB port th iPad is their newest item.... This is how it works the company makes a new product they don't go all advance they just keep it simple to see if they can make a good profit, then later once they decide they need to do more upgrades because of the demand of the iPad they will add better features so the consumers will buy there new product... Just like the new iPod touch they've add more features making the company a bigger profit
MsNurseBelle 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle Yes, basically they rip everyone off at the start with an inferior product, and then three years down the line they finally give it all the features everyone else has had for the last 10 years. Well done Apple...problem is by that time everyone else has moved on.

@ytcf71 "I tried Cloud Browse's free access on my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi. I found browsing and page refreshes to be very slow, certainly slower than using a mobile browser directly. I tried playing some Flash videos, which did pop up. But there were often hiccups in the streaming of those videos, so I wasn't able to get a smooth performance out of them. And a few times I did get the message that the server for anonymous access (meaning free) users was full, so I had to wait and try again later."

@ytcf71 And the Microsoft office,you can buy apps to "hack" that stuff to the iPad or buy a replacement program that works just like it... Now Hun, I just basically answered all your questions... And if your goin to ask about sites that need Java or Adobe Flash, it's called Cloud Browse
MsNurseBelle 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle 'Cloud Browse' - PLEASE....do you know what that is. Thats your screen, viewing the screen of ANOTHER computer that CAN run flash.....
I know what, get your iPad, take out all the back of it so its just a clear peice of glass. Now sit it in front of a PC or windows laptop, and run Flash on that computer, but look at it through the iPad glass so youre 'pretending' to run flash.....because thats basically what it is ;)
Ipad - limited, dated, backwards, full of hacks and bodges.
ytcf71 1 year ago
@ytcf71 And no that isn't what cloud browse does
MsNurseBelle 1 year ago
@MsNurseBelle Cloud Browse
'Through Cloud Browse, you can connect your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to a remote computer running in one of AlwaysOn's data centers. Instead of surfing sites directly, you control your own browsing session on the remote PC, which can pull up just about any Web site content, including Flash. Those pages are then streamed to your iPhone'
So basically your seeing on your screen, the screen of a SUPERIOR, non Apple machine.

@MsNurseBelle "The free version naturally comes with certain limitations. You're stuck viewing videos at a slow frame rate--a way for the company to cut down on bandwidth costs. Only a certain number of free users are allowed to connect at one time, so you may not get access if the remote PC is too busy. Free users can also get bumped off if a paying customer needs to jump on board."

I can't see no reason why a programmer couldn't make the 10" version full windows 7 compatible, if there is a block on full W7. The hardware is the same, so i can't see a problem. Has anyone heard anything about the 10" not being compatible?

I think the 12 inch version could definitely go up against mac having a full windows 7 OS. But the windows portable OS I wouldn't think to stand up vs Android or iOS because of the vast amount of apps each one has. Id definitely buy the full windows 7 based one over any of them for sure.

It will kill Apple not only technically. The Asus ep121 is a computer not an oversized iPod! iPad is a gadget whereas the ep121 can be used both as a notebook, pad or tablet. I was a sworn user of Macs since the first Mac back in 1984. Now I wouln't use any Mac. Windows is the standard.

@Fredrinski I wasn't saying they did anything wrong, maybe I should have said they "learned" from Apple and make their design sleek. You gotta admit most tabets in the market are pretty ugly in terms of design when compared to the ipad - not to mention they are also heavy. I personally prefer tablet PCs over ipad - but they Tablet PCs still have a long way to go.

The sad thing is, this is not an iPad. It has nothing to do with it being a bad product, I believe this is a great product, especially with the Core 2 Duo CULV. The problem lies with advertising. Apple always gets the best of the spotlight, and the companies that, imho provide better products, are left behind. It's sad, but it's fact. This won't stop me from wanting to get that 12" beauty though!
roejames12 1 year ago
I really want one. I'm waiting because I'm sick of having to sync things with the macbook instead of being able to just simply comnnect a camera to it to load pictures. I mean if the ipad could wirelessly transfer stuff then it would be fantastic and I would buy one but it don't even do that. I recon all tablets should be able to wirelessly connect to any type of computer or laptop so you don't have to cable sync everything or have to use sd or usb, which is most of the time slow and painful

I think everyone is overlooking the real issue here. This is a great looking device with several features I would love to have. However "...when they hit the market in early 2011" is a serious problem. This tablet is great now, not a year from now. They are already behind the curve and haven't even launched the product. This is the same issue we're seeing across the entire slate category outside Apple...at the moment anyway.

@LeonardEmilian I think that the 10 inch version is probably gonna cost around $300-400 and the 12 inch version around $500-600 Asus does not really have an insane profit margin pricing structure, they make insane profit with volume. When NetBooks first came out, very few people actually knew what the hell they were, but when the mainstream media covered them in a few late shows, many adults started buying them like crazy, Netbook fever. I tihnk something similar will happen with tablets.
blade93ny 1 year ago
this, as of yet, is the first device that i've seen that even rivals the iPad. i completely trust Asus, and they certainly don't disappoint. Overloaded with USEFUL features, and very fashionable (copied the iPad look just a little bit though :P) bigggest plus about this guy is the 10-inch version's COMPACT version of windows 7. Thank God, finally a company doesn't try to fit a desktop OS on an underpowered machine.

The Asus Pad is a complete opposite, its a dynamic platform, which can be a full-function computer on the go, in the office/school/home with the docking addon and it is also customizable (Apple products are not customizable, Steve Jobs is a Nazi) I want this... hopefully it will not cost much more than $500...

This is like 10x better than a laptop and the ipad. Im getting the 12" version because it has the full windows instead of a compact version. If only it had a disc reader on it. ASUS should make like a usb disc reading port that we can put cd/ dvds into and it can read them. And for the people who say the ipad has apps, well computers have programs.
