Asus VivoTab 8 review

There's no shortage of 8-inch Windows 8 tablets right now. We've recently reviewed models from Acer, Dell, and Lenovo, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but also largely similar in terms of components and price.

The Asus VivoTab 8 includes a Wacom stylus, something other 8-inch Windows 8 tablets lack. Battery life isn't at the top of its class, but it's close.

Fewer connections than some similar tablets; no Windows button on the tablet face; not as slim as the competition.

The 8-inch VivoTab 8 is a Windows tablet that doesn't particularly stand out in a crowded field, until you discover the Wacom stylus tucked inside its body.

Review: Asus VivoTab 8 built around stylus use

With a built-in Wacom stylus, the VivoTab 8 lends itself to sketching or drawing on the go.

Great deal

Windows 8.1 is worth learning. You can do so much more with a Windows tablet than Ipad/Android. It can do anything a normal computer can do. Its a computer OS. Helpful hint: Read some Windows 8.1 guides/functions to learn how to get the most use out of...

Windows 8.1 ; 2GB RAM ; 32GB HD ; Best deal on a budget Win8.1 tablet I could find ; Pleasantly surprised with the speed of desktop mode

Battery life is pretty bad. You'll either need to charge it frequently or always shut it down when you're done with it. It boots very quick tho ; Windows 8.1 takes a while to learn if you've never used it ; Windows apps take too long to load (but once...

Great Case

For the average tablet user, this thing is exactly what you need. Nothing too fancy, but gets the job done and does it well. Not built for a photographer. Good for watching netflix, typing notes. Speaker could be better, but still isn't awful.

Snappy UI, plenty of RAM, comes with Office 365 for free, does what it's supposed to do and well

Bad camera, no stylus
