Asus R50a first view
Although Asus builds PC’s and laptop their name is synonymous with the UMPC sector; namely the Eee PC.
Well, it looks like Asus are continuing their move on the ultra mobile sector with a new tablet device, the R50a.
We haven’t managed to get hold of one just yet but we do have some details of this device:
- Silverthorne Z520 1.33Ghz CPU
- Windows Vista Ultimate
- 1GB DDR2 memory
- 5.6″ active TFT screen (1024 x 600 pixels)
- 2 Mpxs camera
- 1 x Micro SD slot
- SSD HDD - 32Gb, 16Gb or 8Gb

- GPS with builtin RF connector for external antenna
- 199mm x 97mm x 28.4mm, weight 520g
A really nice feature on the R50a is the ability to fit an optional DVB-T mini-card and external TV anatenna - movies on the move.
The device is currently going through FCC testing in the US but we don’t have information on UK availability - we’ll let you know more soon.
