Asus Launches VivoTab Smart 10.1

Asus Launches VivoTab Smart 10.1

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

ASUS today launched the VivoTab Smart tablet with 10.1-inch HD display and full Windows 8. The VivoTab Smart features an Intel Atom dual-core processor and an optional TranSleeve Keyboard that magnetically combines screen protection with a wireless keyboard for enhanced productivity. Here's more info on this upcoming Asus Windows 8 tablet:

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 like Asus A32-1015 Battery, Asus Eee PC 1015 Battery, Asus Eee PC VX6 Battery, Asus Eee PC 1215 Battery, Asus AL31-1005 Battery, Asus Eee PC 1005 Battery, Asus Eee PC 1001HA Battery, Asus A32-F5 Battery, Asus X59 Battery, Asus AP32-1008P Battery, Asus AP31-1008P Battery, Asus Eee PC 1008P 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.

The keyboard is probably the biggest issue that many people will have with the VIZIO Thin + Light design. Rather than an isolated layout that many companies are using, it uses a more traditional layout where the keys are right next to one another with a flat surface. This makes touch typing more difficult as your will end up pressing more than one key or just missing from time to time. The keyboard also lacks any backlighting which is more common of the premium ultrabooks. The trackpad uses a single surface which seems a bit short. It works just fine for single touch instances but the cramped space makes multitouch gestures with Windows 8 more difficult to do.

VIZIO does not publish what the capacity of the internal battery is within the Thin + Light model and instead just says that it can last up to seven hours. In digital video playback testing, it listed roughly five hours before going into standby mode. This is well below what the company projects and is on the lower end for ultrabooks that are equipped with solid state drives. In fact, the Dell XPS 14 ultrabook manages to run for six and a half hours and the Apple MacBook Pro 15 with Retina can achieve up to seven.

With its $950 price tag, there are a number of more premium oriented ultrabooks that can be directly compared to the Thin + Light. The closest in terms of pricing and features would be the Cyberpower Gamer Zues M3, Dell XPS 14 and Fujitsu LifeBook U772. All three of these are ultrabooks with the same processor but have some variation in features. The Cyberpower offers lots of RAM and a larger solid state drive with more peripheral ports but has display issues. The Dell is much heavier and larger, uses a hybrid drive setup for more storage space and has better running times all with the same equivalent resolution display. The Fujitsu offers a similar level of slimness and is actually a bit lighter but has a higher price tag and a display that is clearly not as nice.
