When it comes to tablet pc,s, there’s no question about it. The iPad and other Android tablets currently dominate the market. However, Windows tablets are on the rise and slowly but surely they are making their way to the top and it’s just a matter of time before they breakthrough and wreak havoc on the industry.
And given the fact that the powerful Windows 7 is being implemented in their tablets, and Windows 8 on the horizon you can surely bet that the next generation of Windows tablets will give Android and iPad some serious competition in the very near future.
If you’re in the market for a Windows tablet I’ve put together this list of the top Windows tablets available today, and some unlike the iPad or Android tablets, are even powerful enough to replace your current desktop or laptop.
Windows Tablet
Samsung Series 7 Slate - A tablet with laptop like features? That is exactly what Samsung series 7 Tablet promises. It is one of the slickest and lightweight Windows tablets available in the market today. Here’s a detailed review of its components:
Display – The Samsung Series 7 Windows Tablet has a wide 11.6” display which features a 1366 x 768 pixel count. The way the tablet display responds to finger input is impressive and it responds precisely and accurately to both taps and swipes. It offers palm rejection which bars it from causing inconvenience to users while they carry it around. Read More: Samsung Series 7 Review
HP SLATE 500
For some time tech experts have singled out Apple’s weakness as not catering to business experts. And this Tab is surely one that aims to capture the business market.
However, even if you are interested in a Windows Tablet for personal use, this 9-inch tab can be quite handy! Coming power packed with Windows 7, this tablet has a 64GB internal storage capacity, and also has the capability of reading both microSD cards and USB flash drives, making it rather impressive.

ASUS EEE EP121
In the recent CES 2011, quite a few Windows tablet were announced, which is a good sign for Windows fans. And amongst the 80 odd tablet PCs that were announced, the one that surely stood out was the Asus Eee EP121.
Its massive 12 inch screen with a spectacular resolution of 1280 by 800 is truly impressive. Running on Windows 7, the user can not only experience the unique handwriting recognition feature, but can also easily use the Office Suite.
The release of the iPad marked the dawn of a new era in electronics: the tablet era. Most new tablets released (and it feels like everyone is releasing one now) usually offer the same old tired apps at lower prices, but few truly distinguish themselves from the rest of the crowd and bring something new to the table.
The Acer Iconia Tab W500 is one such tab. With a Windows 7 interface, it actually presents a more familiar persona to us Windows users than most tablets and it even has all the applications we’ve grown to rely upon like Microsoft Word and Excel and even VLC and antivirus programs as well.

WINPAD MINI S
If the large screen size is not what you are looking for, this 7 inch Windows tablet is one of the best in its category. Power packed with the Intel Atom chip, and displaying an impressive 1024 by 600 screen resolution, there is a lot to like in this Windows Tablet.
It also comes with the unique feature of a removable battery, so you can always keep one additional battery in your bag and never be left stranded without your tab!
SAMSUNG SLIDING PC
In the same CES 2011, another device that grabbed a few eyeballs was the Samsung Sliding PC 7 series. When launched this will be Samsung’s first windows tablet.
Their Galaxy Tab having done quite well, it will be interesting to see how the consumers respond to this tab. Samsung has tried something rather unique with this series, as the tab comes with a sliding screen, which when slid reveals a keyboard!
This thing was supposed to be released back in Mar. 2011 and as of Jan 2012 it still hasn’t launched. We’re not exactly sure what the hold up is but the Samsung Sliding PC may be dead on arrival.
