Hercules appears not to care about tablets replacing netbooks on the market with its eCafe series-- 2 ultra portable netbooks for customers on the go.
The company says its Slim HD is the slimmest and lightest on the market, having a 10.1", 1024 x 600 resolution screen while being only 0.8" thick. It also has all the regular ports and connections (x3 USB, ethernet, wifi and SD card reader).
Meanwhile the EX HD has up to 13 hours of battery life (according to Hercules), together with added HDMI-out port and multimedia touch control. It's also slightly thicker than its slim brother, at 1.1".
Both models carry 512MB RAM and 8GB flash storage and use a Linux-based OS with a number of applications handling office, media playback and social networking duties.

The Eee Pad Slider features a 10.1" IPS touchscreen, together with a slide-out keyboard, turning it into something like a notebook computer. It carries a dual-core NVidia Tegra 2 CPU, together with a GeForce GPU, front and rear facing cameras and Android Honeycomb as oS. Internet connections come through either wifi or (optional) 3G.
