Ezy Tablet PC Revealed Out Of Malaysia

Tweet

This new Windows tablet, called the Ezy Tablet PC and coming out of an OEM in Malaysia is being universally hailed as an iPad clone, though I’m not so convinced. Sure, it’ll have a similar 10.2-inch multitouch screen, but it’s running a full desktop OS (Win7 or Vista) vs. the iPhone OS.

For full specs, the 10.2-inch screen is running at a resolution of 1024 x 600. It’s powered by an Atom N270 processor, with a clockspeed of 1.6GHz and Intel integrated graphics. The default configuration comes with 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. For connectivity, it’s got WiFi and 3G, along with an Ethernet port and VGA-out for pushing video to a bigger screen.They promise 3.5 hours of battery life, and the device will have a 1.3-megapixel forward-facing camera.

The price directly from the OEM importer is a steep $680, and that’s with 2GB of RAM and no operating system. The folks behind the Ezy Tablet are apparently in some sort of cartel racket (I kid, of course) as they’re charging $180 to have your tablet ship with either Windows Vista or Win7.

With the low-end netbook hardware and the unappealing pricing scheme, I’d say the iPad doesn’t have anything fear from this tablet. If you’re looking for a non-iPad tablet, their are plenty of decent alternatives, like the HP Slate, JooJoo tablet or the Archos 7 tablet. If you’re still interested, it’s now shipping from your favorite Malaysian tech importer.
