The Quick Rundown:
- INCLUDES BOTH CAPACITIVE MULTITOUCH & ACTIVE DIGITIZER
This means you can use both your finger on the screen to manipulate screen content and a built-in stylus for entering data via handwriting or otherwise. - BUILT-IN TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE CHIP
This is the only Slate device running Windows 7 that has a TPM chip in it, which can provide native DirectAccess (Secure VPN-less connectivity to corporate Intranets) and rich AES-secure BitLocker Drive Encryption. - 10 HOUR BATTERY LIFE
This is also has a ludicrous 10hr battery life with a super-speed 32 or 64GB SSD drive & a highly efficient Intel Oaktrail chipset that enables high performance 1080p full screen video without killing battery life.
