This is an Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS tablet, that being a version of the Google mobile operating system made specifically for tablets, and it’s got a big fat 10.1-inch screen. In the front there’s a 2-megapixel camera for video chat and photos, on the back there’s a 5-megapixel camera for video recording and photos as well. This is a device that will go in direct competition with the Motorola XOOM and the Apple iPad, with a bit of competition from the LG G-Slate, mostly because their dual-core processors come from the same parent: NVIDIA.

Hardware

This tablet joins the still small ranks of approximately 10-inch tablets, this one measuring in at 10.1-inches in the face surrounded by a 10.24 x 6.97 x 0.52-inch (260 x 177 x 13.3-mm,) 25.75-oz (730-g) heavy (display included) body. From there you’ll want to notice that the entire back section is made of a thin, light aluminum while either side of the device is made of plastic. There’s a removable cover at the top (or the side, however you’d like to look at it,) that reveals your SDcard slot and future functional slot for LTE SIM card. You can jam up to 64GB of memory on an SDcard in that first slot, while the SIM card slot remains inactive for now.

Software

This tablet runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb, a system which, if you’re unaware of, you can learn all about back in our gigantic Honeycomb Guide (SlashGear 101), or see our Honeycomb Review. Besides all the regular bells and whistles you’ll always find in your Google-approved Honeycomb layout, you’ll find a few extra games and demos that’ll whet your appetite for more NVIDIA collaborated-upon high-powered games and fabulous applications.

Battery

The battery on this beast is magnificent. If you plan on doing a full day’s work on this device alone and that means a medium workload, you’ll be set for a full workday. If you want to use it heavily, meaning you’re going to be recording and playing video for example, you’re looking at more like 8 hours. On an average day, give this tablet 24 hours before it runs out of juice.
