The new EEE Pad from Asus has been revealed at the Computex 2010 event. The EEE Pad is basically a tablet with nothing but a touch screen. The whole device is about 10 and 12 inches in diagonal length and runs Windows 7. The 10 inch version has Windows Embedded Compact 7 and the 12 inch version has probably the Windows 7 Home Basic or some other full version of Win7.
The 12 inch version of the EEE Pad boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo CULV processor. This processor would have the power of the Core 2 Duo but the power consumption of an Atom. Thus the 12 inch version is the real attraction. The processor and other specs of the 10 inch version are not known yet but it would probably have a dual core version of the Atom processor.
The EEE Pad comes without any keyboard or track pad thus making tasks that require intensive typing quite difficult with a touch screen keyboard. To remedy this Asus has announced to launch a docking system for the pad that would contain a keyboard and mouse. For portability however, the built in software for typing should prove adequate.
It is known at this time that the EEE Pad would have at least one USB port, not more though because the thickness of the pad is extremely less and to keep it that way extra hardware for the USB was avoided. Still one USB port is quite enough for tasks associated with ultra portable computers.
