Conclusion
The Asus EeePad Slider is an interesting concept but it will never manage to beat its cousin the Transformer, mostly because that slide-out keyboard is both tricky to access and to use. It's still a very good tablet, but you'll have to try it out first to see if you're convinced or not.
The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is a successful update of the SX260 HS, bringing Wi-Fi connectivity and the DIGIC 6 image processor for boosted responsiveness and improved picture quality. All in all, this is a very good superzoom compact. Still, competitors are already moving ahead, sometimes with better technology and a wider range of options.

Cons

-

Display offers less contrast than some other tablets

-

Heavy, and design leaves internal cables visible. Why bother when you can get the Transformer?

-

Slide-out keyboard is tricky to use and less good than the onscreen version

-

Reset button is far too easy to activate accidentally

-

Proprietary port in the wrong place to use with a dock

-

Some may not like the electronic pop-up flash mechanism

-

Battery life is a little tight (210 photos with GPS off)

-

Screen is a little outdated compared with some competitors (resolution could be higher, no touch-controls)

-

Limited Wi-Fi functionality
