Laptop Thoughts: ASUS To Release 12-inch Eee Pad EP121 Windows Tablet at CES

A 12 inch screen on a slate device? With a Core i5 processor? Hmm. That's a big screen to power, with a powerful CPU, which means a heavy draw on power compared to other tablets on the market. But this is a "real" computer, running Windows 7, so perhaps this is the type of device we've been waiting for? I just can't imagine that the battery life is going to be more than five hours without it becoming quite heavy.
