ASUS VivoTab Smart Tablet with Intel Atom Processor

ASUS VivoTab Smart Tablet with Intel Atom Processor

ASUS today launched the VivoTab Smart tablet with 10.1-inch HD display and full Windows 8 experience. It comes with an Intel Atom Clover Trail processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. VivoTab Smart is perfect for work and play, at home or on the move. Thin and light, VivoTab Smart features an Intel Atom dual-core processor for full compatibility with new and existing Windows 8 software, and an optional TranSleeve Keyboard that magnetically combines screen protection with a wireless keyboard for enhanced productivity.

At 499 EUR, the VivoTab Smart is cheaper than the Asus VivoTab RT — a $599 tablet that’s about the same size, but which has 32GB of storage, an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, Windows RT operating system, and an included keyboard dock.

Perfect for productivity, ideal for entertainment

Just 9.7mm thin and 580g light, ASUS VivoTab™ Smart has a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display with a crisp 1366 x 768 HD resolution. IPS display technology delivers 178-degree wide viewing angles and ensures clear and bright images, even when seen from the side. VivoTab™ Smart also features 5-point multi-touch for fluid fingertip control with Windows 8. The TranSleeve Keyboard is an innovative accessory that is a cover, keyboard, and stand all rolled into one. It not only aids in the typing experience, but protects the tablet as well.

With its Intel® Atom™ Z2760 dual-core processor, VivoTab™ Smart delivers fast and responsive performance, while still providing up to 9.5 hours battery life on a single charge. VivoTab™ Smart gives complete peace of mind to users too, thanks to complete compatibility with both Windows 8 Store and Desktop apps, along with plug and play support for a wide range of existing peripherals.

 

ASUS VivoTab™ Smart features high-quality cameras front and rear. The 8-megapixel rear camera with auto-focus, five-element lens and 1080p Full HD video recording captures precious moments with crystal clarity, while the front 2-megapixel camera is perfect for face-to-face video chat. VivoTab™ Smart also features renowned ASUS SonicMaster audio technology for incredible sound quality with all kinds of listening material from its built-in stereo speakers.

 

AVAILABILITY & PRICING

ASUS VivoTab™ Smart comes in black and white, and is available in the Benelux area from authorized ASUS resellers later this month. The VivoTab™ Smart has an MSRP of €499 for the Wi-Fi model with 64GB of storage capacity.

ASUS TranSleeve Keyboard will be sold separately and will be available from end of January. Please contact your local ASUS sales representative for more details.

Guess the actual Windows 8 tablets are coming out.

I really wished ASUS didn't release a NVIDIA Tegra 3 variant because it's really not power efficient and isn't all that good of a performer, there are much better SoCs out there but for some reason manufacturers really love Tegra 3 for ARM tablets...

Let's see how the Intel Atom one performs in real life (not a fan of benchmarks) next time I walk into the local computer store and play with it. The Tegra 3 model lagged quite a bit (not much an issue on Android, so I blame Windows RT).

Wish the price was lower.... I can't justify $300+ for something with limited use...

Tablets aren't really that limited honestly. If you buy one with a physical keyboard like my ASUS Transformer Pad Prime or the ASUS Vivotab, it can actually replace a laptop completely unless you have to run software that requires the mobility and power of the laptop. If there are alternatives, tablets do the job.

Personally, I haven't really used my laptop in months. Only powered it on once or twice for my networking tools for a project, other than that, I only carry my tablet around these days.

I paid less for my wife's laptop than this tablet costs....lol

If I could get something like this plus a physical (solid) keyboard like the Transform Pad can use for less than the cost of a laptop, it would be attractive....but given the price range vs an equivalent laptop....they're not very attractive if a laptop suits your needs.

Why is it then that just about every review i've read has the winner being a tablet with a Tegra 3? Are all the others really that bad?
