Asus VivoTab Smart The VivoTab ME400 is being marketed by Asus as the best of both worlds –
a device that can be used for business and for pleasure. And for that we would
recommend it. The Asus VivoTab Smart ME400 is as inexpensive as Atom Windows 8
tablets get, and the add-on keyboard/touch-pad combo is excellent.The Asus
VivoTab ME400 is our favourite Windows 8 tablet yet – it's not as efficient as
an iPad, but you can use it with your existing software and have the best of
the Start Screen and traditional desktop modes on the same device.Asus claims
the VivoTab Smart’s battery is good for 9.5 hours of use. We found this was
right on the money. It ran for 10 hours of continuous video with the backlight
set at mid-level.
But, The keyboard doesn't actually
attach, which can be a hassle, and the folding magnetic cover takes practice to
set up properly.
The bottom line: In a sea of
hard-to-distinguish Atom-powered Windows 8 tablets, the Asus VivoTab Smart
ME400 stands out a bit thanks to clever accessories.

to $583.06 VS Acer Iconia W510 The
Acer Iconia W510 is less expensive than some other Atom-based hybrids, and its
detachable tablet screen is light and portable.10.1-inch IPS screen, 1366 x
768; Dual-core 1.8GHz Atom, 2GB of RAM, 32/64GB SSD; 295 degree twist hinge
turns keyboard into stand; Up to 18hrs battery life; Windows 8 convertible with
keyboard dockThe Iconia W510 is so very portable. At 10.1-inches and weighing
less than two pounds, it fits easily in a bag or large purse, and you'll likely
forget you're even carrying it. Battery life
is excellent.
But, In laptop mode, the system is
awkwardly top-heavy, and the puny keyboard and touch pad are not designed for
serious use.
The bottom line: Offering
low-powered Intel Atom tablet/laptop hybrids for $750 or more is a dodgy
proposition for budget-looking systems such as the Iconia W510, but all-day
battery life is a great selling point.
