Joanna Stern of This is my next wrote in her hands-on impression of the Series 7 Slate PC “Based on my first impressions, the Series 7 Slate may be the best Windows 7 tablet ever made — it’s fast, the pen experience is smooth, and the hardware is thin and well-built. However, I’m not sure it matters. While the product manager did tell us that it would be upgradeable to Windows 8, there’s a very very small market for this type of device and at $1,099 it’s not going to be an easy sell (an iPad and netbook can be had for less!).” You can check out her hands-on video below.
