The business version of Asus' EP121 tablet is apparently scheduled to hit shores of the USA as of this month. Compared to the EP121, the device is pretty much identical except for the use of Windows 7 Professional OS.

As far as the specs go, the Eee Slate B121 features 12.1-inch 1280x800 capacitive touch screen with support for both finger and pen input, has a 1.33GHz Core i5-470UM CPU, 4GB of memory and 64GB SSD. It also doesn't lack in the connectivity department as it features 802.11bgn WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, as well as USB 2.0 and HDMI ports. The rest of the specs include a 2MP webcam, card reader and a 34Whr battery that should keep the tablet running for up to 4.5 hours.

The device should hit the USA soon and it is currently available for pre-order here with a price set at US $1,499. (Ouch. sub.ed.)
