ASUS VivoTab Smart go through

With the VivoTab Smart, ASUS has bent a bona fide Windows 8 tablet that's right at the same time as inexpensive at the same time as the iPad and premium robot medicine. In favor of $499, this device includes an Intel Atom notebook and a generous 64GB of recall taking part in a design that's lighter than Apple's tablet. ASUS too offers an not obligatory Bluetooth baby grand and cover with the purpose of doubles at the same time as a stomach, so you can manage the VivoTab Smart at the same time as a mini-laptop.
Design

ASUS VivoTab Smart Back PanelClick to EnlargeThe VivoTab Smart is smart, but its all-plastic build feels cheaper than the metal Microsoft outward RT and iPad. We're glad with the purpose of the sallow rear panel resists fingerprints.

The VivoTab Smart's 10.1-inch parade is surrounded by a glossy black bezel, next to the top of which sits a 2-megapixel camera. To the not here of with the purpose of is a slight lifeless ASUS logo. The back is home town to an 8-megapixel camera and LED flicker, under which sits a silver ASUS logo.

ASUS VivoTab Smart PortsClick to EnlargeThe VivoTab's not here bank skin tone a microUSB seaport and microSD certificate slot, while the in shape bank acting host to the slate's sheer volume rocker and headset jack. The power button sits on the top bank. Unfortunately, the edges, particularly the in shape bank, are a fragment too acute in favor of our liking.

Next to 10.7 x 6.9 x 0.5 inches, the VivoTab Smart is a curls thicker than the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 and basin Latitude 10, which determine 10.3 x 6.5 x 0.4 inches and 10.8 x 7.0 x 0.4 inches, in that order. All three medicine weigh the same 1.2 pounds. Microsoft's outward RT, while thinner than the VivoTab Smart (10.8 x 6.8 x 0.4 inches) weighs to some extent additional next to 1.5 pounds.
Parade and Audio

ASUS VivoTab Smart DisplayClick to EnlargeThe ASUS VivoTab Smart's 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 IPS parade existing plain visuals and glowing flag. While viewing a 1080p preview in favor of "Star Trek: Into Darkness," fine details such at the same time as wrinkles on characters' faces and little pieces of garbage flittering through breathing space were without doubt visible. Captain Kirk's blue eyes stood not in taking part in stark contrast to the Enterprise's rigorous sallow interior.

Next to 292 lux, the VivoTab Smart's parade is brighter than the Acer Iconia W510's 262 lux rating but dimmer than the type standard of 367 lux. The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 (389 lux) and basin Latitude 10 (473 lux) are both brighter, but they're too additional expensive..

Stereo speakers--both on the not here boundary of VivoTab Smart's rear panel--produced clean audio with the purpose of was right loud sufficient to fill a little federation scope. The Alabama Shakes' "You Ain't solitary," came through undoubtedly, but lacked deep.
TranSleeve baby grand

ASUS VivoTab Smart KeyboardClick to EnlargeASUS' not obligatory 0.9-pound TranSleeve with baby grand ($129) is made up of a folding magnetic smart cover with the purpose of serves at the same time as a stomach in favor of the VivoTab Smart and a Bluetooth baby grand. While transporting the tablet, the cover and baby grand magnetically tie to every one other and act to shield the VivoTab's parade. Unfold the cover, and the TranSleeve baby grand separates from the cover and the tablet. While this setup installation fine while sitting next to a desk, it's not optimal in favor of manage on a circuit, especially on a van before train. Folding the cover into a stomach was take away than intuitive; it took several attempts to recover the correct method.

ASUS VivoTab Smart TouchpadClick to EnlargeThe TranSleeve baby grand sports the same netbook-like arrange of the majority other Windows 8 hybrids and medicine. At the same time as a end result, keys are less significant than a standard baby grand, which can be the forerunner to typing errors. With the purpose of alleged, tactile view and source travel were satisfying, and the little wrist relaxation made typing quite comfortable. On the Ten Thumbs typing tutor test, we averaged 68 language for each precise with a 4 percent slip-up rate, well under the 80 wpm/1-percent slip-up rate on our desktop baby grand. In the midst of Windows 8 medicine, we wish the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2's baby grand, which has superior keys with greater travel.

The little clickpad beneath the TranSleeve's baby grand made navigating the Windows 8 desktop natural environment far easier than relying on the VivoTab's converge screen solitary. The clickpad wires the majority Windows 8 gestures, plus swiping taking part in from the in shape to access the Charms menu, swiping taking part in front the not here to switch flanked by apps and swiping down to access in-app options. However, the pad doesn't support gestures in favor of docking apps.

While Windows 8 gestures worked well, executing multitouch gestures such at the same time as two-finger make off with and scroll were unreliable.
Boil

Subsequently streaming a full-screen Hulu film in favor of 15 minutes, the VivoTab Smart's back panel reached right 86 degrees Fahrenheit. We consider temperatures of 95 degrees and more than to remain uncomfortable. That's right under the tablet type standard of 87 degrees, but advanced than the ThinkPad Tablet 2's 80-degree back panel heat. The Acer Iconia W510 and HP Envy x2 recorded temperatures of 77 degrees and 76 degrees, in that order.
Ports

ASUS VivoTab Smart PortsClick to EnlargeThe VivoTab Smart has a microUSB seaport, a micoSD certificate slot and a covered micro-HDMI seaport on its not here bank and a headset jack on its in shape bank. Taking part in the top not here corner of the rear panel is an NFC C.P.U with the purpose of allows users to transmit and receive items such at the same time as apps, photos, websites and additional.

What's missing? A full-size USB seaport, something Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet 2, Dell's Latitude 10 and Microsoft's outward RT offer. With the purpose of process you can fail to remember approaching plugging taking part in a USB drive.
Cameras

ASUS VivoTab SmartClick to EnlargeThe VivoTab's 8-megapixel rear-facing camera captured exceptionally acute images while taking pictures outside of our agency. But while color reproduction was accurate, the camera couldn't compensate in favor of transitions taking part in ambient lighting. A shot of the Empire State Building bathed taking part in sunlight appeared blown not in while taken from a shadow-draped street corner. The camera had problems capturing skirmish such at the same time as pedestrians walking down the sidewalk before cars driving down the street. The 1080p videos we recorded with the rear-facing camera were right at the same time as acute at the same time as photos.

The slate's two-megapixel front-facing camera existing images plain sufficient to look at wrinkles on our foreheads and around our eyes. Color reproduction was right at the same time as accurate at the same time as the front-facing camera.
Taking part in addition to the standard Windows 8 camera app, the VivoTab Smart includes ASUS' own ASUS Camera app, which offers settings such at the same time as filter possessions, sallow balance adjustments and the knack to bend sour the flicker. The camera too includes a vista star, which worked particularly well.
Performance

ASUS VivoTab Smart PerformanceClick to EnlargeASUS' VivoTab Smart is powered by a 1.8-GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 notebook and 2GB of RAM. Graphics performance comes by way of Intel's integrated graphics C.P.U, while cargo space is handled by a 64GB eMMC flicker drive. While installing a inexperienced section of desktop software such at the same time as Spotify before iTunes, the VivoTab Smart's performance fell sour abruptly. Also, we noticed programs such at the same time as ASUS Cloud cargo space, iTunes and Spotify took several seconds to unfasten from a cold moon boot.

On the PCMark 7 standard, which tests a machine's overall performance, the VivoTab Smart registered a mark of 1,399. That's under the tablet type standard of 2,973, but well contained by the range of other Intel Atom-powered medicine we've tested, plus the Acer Iconia W510 (1,305), Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 (1,428) and basin Latitude 10 (1,440). At the same time as predictable, Microsoft's $999 outward Pro, with its Intel mainstay i5 notebook, scored a much advanced 2,739.

The VivoTab Smart's 64GB of eMMC flicker cargo space booted taking part in right 19 seconds, sooner than the tablet standard of 28 seconds and the similarly equipped Acer Iconia W510, which happening taking part in 20 seconds. The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 and basin Latitude 10, meanwhile, took 16 seconds to start, while the HP Envy x2 came to taking part in 14 seconds.

It took the ASUS VivoTab Smart's 64GB of eMMC flicker drive a middling 4 minutes and 48 seconds to put out of misery the LAPTOP parade shift Test, which involves repetition 4.97GB of miscellaneous media documents. That's a rate of 17.7 MBps, which is well under the type standard of 53.8 MBps. The Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet 2 registered 21 MBps, while the basin Latitude 10 and HP Envy x2 jagged 22 MBps. After again, Microsoft's outward Pro outpaced the competition, merit to itsSSD, completing the test next to a rate of 124 MBps.

Our VivoTab Smart took 30 minutes and 18 seconds to match 20,000 names with their addresses taking part in OpenOffice. That's a a small amount sooner than the Lenovo ThinkPad 2's moment of 30 minutes and 33 seconds, but slower than the Acer Iconia W510 (29:56), basin Latitude 10 (29:48) and HP Envy x2 (29:45).

With its Intel Graphics Media Accelerator C.P.U, the ASUS VivoTab Smart can conduct low-intensity games such at the same time as "Judge Dredd in opposition to. Zombies" and "Jetpack Joyride," but don't expect to be flippant something additional than with the purpose of. Taking part in information, the GPU couldn't even run the 3DMark11 graphics test, at the same time as it doesn't support DirectX 11.

We ran into solitary make for the period of our trying. The capacitive home town button beneath the parade didn't respond to our taps next to epoch, requiring a additional forceful momentum than we'd like. However, ASUS says with the purpose of it has tested dozens of units taking part in its labs and has not encountered the same obstacle.
Battery Life

ASUS VivoTab Smart BatteryClick to EnlargeAt 8 hours and 17 minutes, the ASUS VivoTab Smart's battery lasted considerably longer than the tablet type standard of 7:12 on the LAPTOP Battery Test (Web surfing via Wi-Fi with the parade unbending to 40 percent brightness).

Not in of the box, the 64GB version of the VivoTab Smart has 34.2GB of open breathing space.
Configurations

ASUS VivoTab Smart ConfigurationsClick to EnlargeThere are at this time veto other configurations of the VivoTab Smart open, but you can upgrade to the TranSleeve baby grand (which includes a origami-style cover and Bluetooth keyboard) in favor of $129.

ASUS too offers a Windows RT version of the VivoTab called the VivoTab RT. With the purpose of 10.1-inch tablet skin tone a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 notebook, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and quad-speakers. An not obligatory baby grand wharf is too open in favor of the VivoTab RT and adds not quite 5 hours of battery life.
Verdict

ASUS VivoTab Smart OutroClick to EnlargeASUS' VivoTab Smart has several things open in favor of it. It skin tone a brittle parade, protracted battery life and the knack to run both modern-style Windows 8 apps and traditional desktop apps in favor of the same estimate at the same time as the additional narrow Micorsoft outward with Windows RT. Plus, in favor of $499, you perceive 64GB of cargo space, which is in two the 32GB $499 Acer Iconia W510. (The 64GB version of the W510 expenses $579.)

On the other laborer, ASUS did bring to an end several corners to get such an aggressive estimate. The design is plasticky, and you won't recover a full-size USB seaport. And while the not obligatory $129 TranSleeve baby grand can befall taking part in helpful, it's not at the same time as opportune at the same time as a wharf with the purpose of feels additional secure taking part in your circuit. You can pick up the 32GB W510 with a clamshell baby grand wharf (with its own extended battery) in favor of $549.

It's positively not a laptop replacement, but the ASUS VivoTab Smart is a pretty advantage range in favor of Windows 8 tablet shoppers on a make financial arrangements.
