Slate tablet PCs running Windows 7

Here at the HIMSS 2012 conference, you'll find a wide variety of tablet PCs running Windows 7. One of the best places to see all of the different devices is in the Microsoft booth. Of course, you could also wander around to the HP, Samsung, and Fujitsu booths.

Some of the notable tablet PCs running Windows 7 include:

• HP Slate 2: a smaller, 7" slate tablet PC with excellent battery life
• Fujitsu LifeBook Q550: a 10.1" slate tablet PC with a removable battery
• Asus Eee Slate EP121: a 12.1" slate running an Intel Core i5 processor
• Samsung Series 7: an 11.6" slate running an Intel Core i5 processor

These are some of the mobile devices you'll find on the HIMSS exhibit floor. I am waiting to see what will happen when Microsoft reveals Windows 8 this fall. We should see a surge of new tablet PCs putting some competition on other slate tablets like the iPad and Android slates.
