You don't tweak 5 hours to be 10 hours. ExoPC is hardly different from any other current 5-hour tablet.
edit: I may be speaking a bit unfairly about ExoPC, but I'm horribly disappointed in a 5-hour battery life, so I'm clumping it together with all the other 5-hour tablets I'm definitely not going to buy.
Asus didn't have anything real going on either. The EP101TC is promising but horribly unfinished, and the EP121 is a pretty big (in more ways than one) unknown.
There were no new-gen EPD products, no decent e-paper products, no real products with near-term launch dates, and no decent iPad competitors. Was hoping for a few Pixel Qi announcements, but only got more concepts and one dubious tablet announced from a no-name company. I guess it's to be expected, as Computex isn't really about showing real products or announcing launch dates in the near-term.
