Audi teased its tablet at last year's CES, but then went completely quiet until its press event at this year's show. The quick demo we were treated to focused on just how well the tablet is integrated into the Q7; the specs were just a passing thought. Audi has this dead right -- sure it's a 10.1-inch tablet being driven by a Tegra 4, but we didn't care about that at all. We were wowed by how beautiful it was and how well thought out every little thing about it was. For example, the matte display was designed to reduce micro vibrations passing through the car -- and as we saw in a demo, they are incredibly distracting -- and shaking what you're watching. The display was also tested to ensure that during an accident, it wouldn't shatter -- from your face hitting it -- and have the shards cause further injury to the people in the car. The tablet's housing is a solid piece of beautifully sculpted aluminum with curved corners and smooth edges. While it certainly weighs more than your average slate, that heft is exactly what you'd expect from a vehicle like a Q7.
