Samsung hasn’t forgotten about the Windows tablet PC market, no matter how their tablet line-up looks (it’s all Android). On Wednesday the Korean tech giant unveiled their new 11.6-inch pro-friendly tablet PC dubbed the Samsung Series 7 Slate.

Make no mistake about this new tablet, it’s not going after the Apple iPad no matter how it may look from the front, Samsung is actually targeting the market that’s home for the Asus Eee Slate EP121. The prosumer and business market that’s not afraid to spend $1,000+ on a tablet PC that’s got a Wacom digitizer and Wacom digital pen.

Since the Samsung has come late to the party it’s gotten the advantage of having better processing chips to choose from, Samsung has taken advantage of that. The new Series 7 Slate comes with a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5-2467M dual-core processor, the Asus has the last gen. Intel Core i5-470UM dual-core chip built-in.

The Samsung has 3G while the Asus does not have any wireless Internet capabilities beyond Wi-Fi. The Series 7 Slate has a SIM card slot built-in to its left-hand side that should work with most any network, but Samsung hasn’t given the full details on the 3G support yet for this tablet PC.

Finally the display on the Samsung has a higher resolution at 1366-by-768 over the 1280-by-800 offered by Asus’ 12.1-inch IPS screen. Whether or not the Samsung Series 7 Slate has an IPS screen or not is still unknown, but if it only uses a TN LCD panel then the Asus would have the better display for color reproduction and viewing angles.

There are some other differences that favor the Asus over the Samsung and visa-versa and you can check those out at the bottom.
