Hi All,

Anyone have any suggestion for W8 tablet ? Looking for light weight W8 Tablet.

Thanks...

Dell XPS 10...
estimate launch in Mid Dec...
in my waiting list now

they have been showing off some models in lowyat, but everytime i asked them they pointed somewhere in lowyat...i searched everywhere all i can see is refurbished atoms and old lowyat selling cheap with windows 8. I wonder when can i really go and buy one.

I have done some searching but no success. I believe it might take a while to flood the market with W8 Tablet

I think that now W8 Tablet is on the market with high price...
Don't buy it first...

Is there anyone here using Acer W500/1 with Windows 8?
It basically has the 'minimum' requirement for running win 8...
I wonder how it performs....

i'm using it since developer preview. actually i install it on the first day that i bought on january this year.
here is my WEI score for the final Windows 8 pro:



Almost everything works except that snap feature since resolution is lower then requirement.
here is also a video that i upload few month ago that show the w500 connected to plasma tv with consumer preview

W500 has a totally different processor. It runs on dua core AMD APU on a traditional large laptop harddisk where as W510 runs on a dual core new ATOM processor running on SSD.

I thought W500 also runs on 32GB SSD ^^;

yup correct it run on SSD 32gb... look at the WEI score above.. its 6.4.. normally hdd is 5.9
that new ATOM only faster abit from that amd c-50.. what the most advantage is the better power consumption

Here is 510/Atom Z2760 WEI score...
3.5 for Processor
4.6 for RAM
3.5 for Graphics
3.2 for Gaming Graphics
5.6 for Primary Drive

... hey it only win on cpu speed.. the rest w500 better huhu

PeeNutt.. .right now u're using that W500?

what kinda software/apps u stuffed into that thing?
how is it performing?

Is kinda hard to judge to overall performance right after the windows is installed... need to install programs, than can see how well it goes..

It uses SSD, but only 2GB of RAM, right?

Is the RAM / SSD upgradable?

hehehe yup i'm using the w500.
i'm a 3D/2D artist so most of my programs is power hungry
but for me surprisingly it run ok la.. sure cannot compete desktop werstation
but for lite job ok jer.

Ssd is upgradable with msata drive but RAM cannot already soldered. 2gb is more then enough for a tablet.
Most huge programs i install on 32gbSDHC card using junction ntfs method. Still hav 10gb sdd left after install alot of metro apps.

Here another video that i upload playing wif 3ds Max

thanks for the correction. I dont think 32GB is enough for a windows system. Windows OS is not like other tablet OS that cant do shit. When you can do lotsa shit on an OS, you normally need bigger storage to store all the shits that you are gonna get lol

for exam - cuz i can run Electronic Art's Origin on Windows OS, i am going to install lots of hardcore games yadda yadda ..

i'm looking the same thing as you.

VivoTab™ or VivoTab™ Smart. I'm still comparing one is 6xxg another is 5xxg

http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/vivoTab.htm

smart is 10" and Vivotab is 11" Vivotab comes with keyboard. Smart does not. Smart is equivalent to Acer 510 which is currently selling at RM1699.

i seriously cannot trust a computer brand that cannot even come up with a properly working website! It shows not that there was not testing/QC done!!

Click on the Vivotab link and you get this http://my.asus.com/PageError/

wait for AMD Hondo APU tablets. It supports USB3.0 natively and i believe the tablets with come with 2.5" laptop size harddisks. so we will see 320G or above storage instead of the mere 32-128 SSD storage.

which one is better ?

Vivotab vs Vivotab Smart

or Vivotab Smart vs Acer 510?

the keyboard does not come along with tab? it displayed the keyboard included?
