![]() ![]() In my tests, alternating internet browsing, games, reading and text editing, the battery was satisfactory, lasting 6 to 8 hours. the processor Intel Atom Z2760 (1,80Ghz / 1MB Cache) stutters at times, such as when switching apps involving videos or games, but the experience of using the SlidePad with Windows 8 is generally fast and fluid ( 2 GB of RAM memory take care of the system). LG uses the word fluency to describe the “transformation” of the SlidePad from tablet to notebook.ĭespite the Atom being one of Intel's lowest power consumption processors, at times it was possible to feel the heat on the back of the device. Just a tap of a trigger on the side and the screen slides up to reveal the keyboard. To close the device, for example, there is a “correct” way, described in the manual: slide the screen down, hold it at the bottom and press the top until you hear a “click”.įrom there, however, things become a little less obvious. The problem is that the screen looks fragile and wake up right insecurity on the user, until he gets the hang of it. When the SlidePad is open, it is also possible to see some of its “insides”, which reinforces the fragile aspect. The button that opens the screen proved to be quite sensitive and went off several times, even when I just swiped my finger over it. The 11,6-inch screen is bright, with vibrant colors, responsive and has great viewing angles. The resolution of 1366 x 768 is the minimum required by Windows 8 to enable “Snap”, a useful feature that allows the use of two apps simultaneously. The SlidePad's internal storage is (on paper) 64GB, but in practice, it delivers just over half of that ( 34,6 GB), which is somewhat disappointing, but not unexpected given the size taken up by Windows 8. SlidePad only includes one camera front 2 MP, good for video chats and selfies. The problem is that due to the tilt of the screen – which is not adjustable – I always had to bring the device closer to capture something beyond my forehead. ![]() The decision not to build a rear camera, in my opinion, was the right one. If it's already embarrassing to see someone try to take pictures with tablets in general, imagine with a 1 KG device. One of the advantages of this hybrid is the number of ports available: 1 input USB 2.0, 1 micro-USB (of debatable utility), 1 port HDMI, card reader MicroSD and headset. Unlike iPads and some Android tablets, the SlidePad does not charge via USB, only from a wall outlet. The speakers are best used in notebook mode, as the sound is muffled in tablet mode. The SlidePad's keyboard is compact, which means using a lot of keys like Fn and ALT to type certain characters, but it's comfortable to write and I noticed that in the period in which I used it, I wrote much more than when I use a tablet only with a virtual keyboard. ![]() ![]() Now for the reading, it disappoints, especially in portrait mode, where the SlidePad borders on unusable due to the tablet's weight distribution and huge screen. The new Windows interface, introduced in version 8, with its large, animated icons and gestures for switching or closing applications, activating settings or searching, is much more pleasant to use on a device like the SlidePad, equipped with a Touch. ![]()
