Asustek Intends to Beat Apple's Second-Generation iPad
 

Asustek Computer as well as number of other manufacturers have announced a large number of personal computers in slate form-factors. Hardware that powers those devices is much more powerful than that which powers Apple iPad. But Apple is getting ready to release its second-generation iPad, which will naturally be more advanced than its predecessor. Nonetheless, the chairman of Asus believes the company has a "secret weapon" against the iPad 2.

"We already know some of the details of [Apple iPad 2], such as what kind of processor they chose. We very carefully chose our tablet processor, the Nvidia Tegra 2, and to really compete it will take [Apple] some time. You know, [Nvidia] is well known for graphics. Also, we will try to provide a 'secret weapon', something we have not shown at this time but closer to the launch time we will show," said Jonney Shih, the chairman of Asustek Computer, in an interview with Computerworld web-site.
