I'm actually writing this on my asus ep121 right now. The fan is completely silent, so I'm not sure if your tablet's fun is defective or what... The battery life doesn't bother me, but everyone's different, and I can definitely see why that would be important. The wireless card is awful though, incredibly unreliable. It disconnected as I'm writing this. Not sure if my card is messed up...

Honestly, if you're considering a windows tablet, WAIT FOR WINDOWS 8. It's designed for tablet use. The first Windows 8 tablets should be coming out early next year. Nokia is releasing a sure to be beautiful one in June.

@mjktechgeek is it worth the buy?
-
this review feels bias
-
ya its also double the price of the hp
-
there is no comparison. the HP slate is sluggish as a mule compared to the Asus. the Asus slate is the best windowsbtablet available. my boss has the HP slate. he tried stealing my Asus. after using it for 5 minutes he told me to order one for myself with the company card.
-
can you play games on the hp slate?
-
do you recommend this tablet with touch or the acer iconia w500? and which one is better with windows 8 ? and which one is more powerfull and faster? and better in games?
-
Might be a stupid question but I am having trouble finding the HP. Where did you buy yours, and do you know where I can buy it online?

God I wish the ep121 wasn't so underrated :/

Sketching/Drawing on the HP slate 500by LatinVixen27,484 views
Inking is not loud becaus of N-Trig's software, but rather their stylus design and the movement they incorporate into the tip of the stylus. The sound also depends on the type of display the tablet manufacturer uses. The HP Slate and Motion CL900 use a glossy glass display which will always be louder for an N-Trig stylus. The Fujitsu Q550 uses a matte display with a special layer that makes it quiter. The Motion has Gorilla Glass which might help. Won't know until we see some reviews.

The best I could get was 3 hours, but that was power saver mode with screen brightness all the way down. Kind of defeats the purpose to use with everything turned down. Look at the Fujitsu Q550 or the Motion CL900 if you want something bigger than the Slate, but smaller than the EP121. Anything but the EP121 will have pretty slow performance.

I will be receiving the Fujitsu in the first part of June and will do a comparison between it and the HTC Flyer that I replaced my HP Slate with. Stay tuned, it should be interesting.

You would be more comfortable with the ep121. I will be looking at the new Fujitsu and Motion 10" tablets releasing in May. The ep121 was just not portable enough for me and the battery life was terrible. The Fujitsu and Motion tablets will have a 6-8 hour battery life with even brighter screens with Gorilla Glass and more accessories. They will be running Atom processors as opposed to an I-5 though. If you want a full laptop experience go with the ep121.

The HP Slate works great! It just wasn't large enough for me. Alot of scrolling, inking is pretty loud. The stylus clacks against the glass screen when you write. The speed is adequate for using Office Docs and the accuracy and fluidity is fine. I know others at my college that love their HP Slate. If you are going purely for mobility and don't mind needing to scroll more with the smaller screen than the HP works great! It was just too small for me. I will wait for a 10" like the Motion.

In response to the last two posts, I would recommend the ASUS for inking. It is much smoother, quieter and the screen size is more indicative of a regular size sheet of paper. It is big and can be difficult to use on smaller college seats. The HP is very portable and better battery life, but I found it too small for OneNote and PDF Annotator, also loud while inking. I would recommend checking out the Motion CL900 as an option. 10" screen + 8 hrs of battery life, outdoor viewable. Avail in April.
