We already knew that ASUS had pretty big plans for the tablet market, but Chairman Jonney Shih isn't kidding when he says that there'll be an "Eee for everyone". In its latest teaser, the company has given up a few more details on the EP121, a 12in slate that joins the 7in, 9in and 10in models that will make up the full Eee tablet family.
Although the device is only teased and there are no actual pictures, it's clear that the EP121 will run Windows 7 on an Intel Core i5 CPU. The video also mentions gaming and 'Full HD' video playback, meaning that we could see either a low-power discrete GPU or - more likely - an Intel Sandy Bridge processor hiding behind the screen. A multitouch display with the option of pen input, HDMI output and heavy cloud integration also look like they'll be on the cards.
Other details are pretty slim, but the tag-line accompanying the YouTube video reads:
"What do you expect from a perfect tablet PC? Performance? A full sized keyboard? Expandability? Multi-tasking? Battery life? ASUS took all your needs into consideration seriously, and made efforts on producing the best cloud computing devices possible".
Again, this doesn't tell us much, but multiple references to a keyboard mean that a dock - which is likely to vaguely resemble the prototype we spotted at Computex - is almost certainly on the cards.
The only thing we know for certain is that ASUS will be out in force with its full range of tablets at CES. We'll be sure to bring you all of the details that we can get our hands on once the show kicks off in Las Vegas next week.
