Asus VivoTab Smart Review - Trusted Reviews

The Asus VivoTab Smart is characterized by Trusted Reviews as a portable, entry-level Windows 8 tablet featuring a lightweight 10.1-inch design (580g) and the ability to run full desktop applications, offering better compatibility than Windows RT alternatives. A major pro is its strong battery life, providing roughly 9.5 to 10 hours of video playback. However, the device suffers from performance issues, with the Intel Atom processor and 2GB RAM struggling with multitasking, while the 1366 x 768 display lacks high-end sharpness. Compromises are evident in the construction and connectivity; the plastic build feels less durable, and the device lacks full-size USB or SD card slots, complicating peripheral use. Despite these flaws, it presents a functional, budget-friendly option for users needing Windows, provided they can manage the limitations.

The ASUS VivoTab Supports Full Array of Windows 8 - StateTech

The ASUS VivoTab (TF810C) is an 11.6-inch, Windows 8-based tablet designed to bridge the gap between portable slates and productivity-focused laptops by running full desktop applications like Microsoft Office. It features an Intel Atom Z2760 processor and 2GB of RAM, offering sufficient power for general tasks, though it is not suited for intense 3D gaming. Key advantages include its bright, sunlight-readable Super IPS+ display, the precise Wacom digitizer/stylus for creative work, and an optional keyboard dock that extends battery life to 19 hours. However, the device is criticized for the sometimes sluggish performance of its Atom processor compared to Core i5 alternatives, a 1366x768 resolution screen, and a lack of full-size USB ports on the tablet itself.

The Asus VivoTab Smart (ME400C) is a 10.1-inch, 1.28-pound Windows 8 hybrid tablet featuring a bright 1366x768 IPS display and an Intel Atom Z2760 processor. It offers a full desktop experience, NFC connectivity, and decent performance for basic tasks in a highly portable, budget-friendly design. However, the device features a plastic build, limited port selection (MicroSD, MicroUSB, Micro HDMI), and 350-nit screen brightness that hinders outdoor visibility. While battery life is respectable at 7 hours and 36 minutes, it falls short of the endurance offered by models with battery-integrated docks. The optional Bluetooth keyboard adds necessary functionality for productivity, making it a viable alternative to ARM-based tablets for legacy software support. For more details, visit PCWorld.

Asus VivoTab Smart ME400 review

The Asus VivoTab Smart ME400 is a 10.1-inch Windows 8 tablet designed for portability and productivity, utilizing a full 32-bit OS rather than the limited Windows RT. Key pros include an Intel Atom Z2760 processor that provides a snappy interface for basic tasks, an excellent IPS display, and exceptional battery life ranging from 7 to 9.5 hours. The design is lightweight and portable, though it features a plastic construction that feels less premium than aluminium alternatives. Performance limitations represent a primary con, as the processor can struggle with intensive multitasking or complex desktop applications. Connectivity is functional but restricted, relying solely on micro USB, micro HDMI, and a microSD slot, which may require adapters. Furthermore, the essential TranSleeve keyboard cover is an expensive, separate accessory, increasing the overall cost. Despite these drawbacks, the device is considered a high-value, efficient option for users needing full Windows functionality on a tablet. TechRadar concludes it is a robust, portable choice, provided users can manage the performance constraints during heavy use.
