The CTL 2goPad may be one of the best budget Windows 7 slate PCs on the market today. It hits a sweet spot between features and price, thanks to its relatively affordable $549 price tag. One of the tablets’ closest competitors is probably the Netbook Navigator Nav9 slate, which costs $699 and up if you […]

Tega v2 Windows slate reviewed, found a bit wanting
Well, this is kind of sad… as I just mentioned, my CTL 2goPad review will be coming any day now, but while it’s definitely a better Windows tablet than some I’ve tried, it’s still just not that much fun to use.

I probably won’t have my full review of the CTL 2goPad ready for another few days, but apparently plenty of people weren’t waiting for my review to pull the trigger and purchase this $499 slate PC with a 10 inch capacitive display. CTL says the company sold out of the 2goPad the day after it […]
Netbook Navigator Nav9 Slate PC review
The Netbook Navigator Nav9 slate PC is one of the first Windows 7 slates aimed at the growing tablet market.

Unboxing and first look at the Netbook Navigator Nav9 tablet
The Netbook Navigator Nav9 is a slate PC with an x86 processor, a solid state disk, and an 8.9 inch touchscreen display.

Like virtually every other PC vendor on the planet, the folks at CTL are preparing to launch a tablet this summer. But there are a few reasons this one might actually be worth checking out.

HP: The iPad is for consuming media, Our slate lets you create it too
HP wants you to remember that they’ve got a slate PC coming out soon too… and it can do some things that the Apple iPad can’t. No, it can’t whip people up into enough of a frenzy for HP to sell 300,000 on launch day — at least I don’t think it can. But it […]
