Furthermore, there are three USB ports, jacks for headphones and a microphone, one SIM/CDMA port, a VGA output and 10/100 LAN. Users can take advantage of the SD card-reader slot to add more storage capacity. This new device sports an integrated 1.3MP web camera for video conferencing.

The mini-computer comes with a pre-installed copy of Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system and offers flash and JavaScript support. Measuring 25 x 16.8 x 2.1cm (or 9.8 x 6.6 x 0.8 in), the ExoPC Slate tablet has 4 hours of battery life (with user-replaceable battery).
