Back from Midvalley megamall. Lenovo at the third floor displays Both Lenovo thinkpad Twist and Yoga, priced at around RM 3600 and 3500 respectively. Its impressive to say the least. Certainly to look out for.

Not for me as it does not come with digitiser.

I have a question.

Is there any WINDOWS 8 PRO tablet which intergrated with GPS capability?
So far, only WINDOWS 8 RT tablets have that feature.

I can confirm that Dell Latitude 10 comes with GPS sensors (and other sensors commonly found in other win 8 tablet).

I am looking for one which has the docking station that has network cable connection. And one that has Wacom pen option.

Not many choices though..

Does S-Pen similar to wacom pen capacity ?

I'm using mine mainly for school work though, games and movies in my other laptop. I googled somewhere that someone managed to upgrade his SSD. Here's the quote:
Any idea?
Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro will do the trick.

So S Pen and wacom is interchangable ?

I do agree on this. Having a w700 for several weeks and so far I love this so much.
Those who can't shell out rm3.5k for Ativ Pro, I suggest going for w700, one is for the price, which beats the normal Ativ that only packs Atom, second this has a beautiful full HD screen and a very satisfactory battery life up to 8 hours.

Ativ PC Pro use full intel chip, I think i5, same as W700. The main difference is that Ativ pc Pro has digitiser interface, which is good for handwriting or for graphic artist. It will be good for photoshop user etc...

NOrmal ativ that uses Atom chip also comes with S-Pen (wacom) digitiser, its god sent for graphic artist.

Recently purchased a Dell Latitude 10 with windows 8 pro installed, along with its digitiser pen and docking station. So far so good. Its expected to handle low size documents in the near future. But now, I experimented it to stream multimedia files, eg. full HD videos with both MPC-HC and XBMC and see how well it handles video files.

Overall Dell does make a stronger tablet than others I think, with docking station that suits office user. I choose dell because of this.

Do you need a digitiser pen ?

If you do, there isn't much choices around.

You are right, no dock and no 3G... sad.gif
What models with digitizer or stylus? Ativ Smart, Microsoft?

Dell, lenovo & asus have windows 8 tablet that comes with digitiser. I own Dell latitude 10 which does, and I also know that lenovo has almost similar model as dell. Asus by far has the highest spec, 11 inches screen size that comes with one too. Do look it up from the web.

I personally feel that digitiser is useful for small screen tablet like windows. Some window features do not designed with fat finger touches in general, unlike IOS etc.

Some good products but they are not well introduce in Malaysia, therefore, lack of product knowledge from the local dealer/reseller, accessories are extremely hard to find, for instance, screen protector and cases.

I agree with you about the digitizer, it's useful especially served the mouse over effect, drawing and photoshopping.

My dell latitude 10 has to order through authorised dealer (in PJ), they no longer sell it through the web. This model has docking station and pen which comes extra. I got all that, along with a soft case cover which works very well. No screen protector yet though.

Digitiser works great for kids who like to draw and writing recognition. Now windows 8 already has writing recognition for even chinese character too. So its good for overall usage at home. But for serious drawing and professional rendering, you will need bigger screen and i5 or i7 chip.

For me, best combo is latitude 10 or lenovo equivalent and pen.

Its a good choice.

My initial choice on dell is based on initial plan to use it in the office, with digitiser for data entry by writing actually.

And the docking station of dell can automatically relay the screen to bigger LCD screen if I placed the tablet onto the docking station. Its good for office use. Docking station housed a network socket plus 3 USB, which can connect to additional full size keyboard and mouse. Mainly all those are suitable for office environment.

I got mine from Computernetworks.com.my, they are official dell supplier in PJ. Just need to email them for details.

Price is RM2100 for dell tablet with Win 8 I think single language.

After adding

1. Upgrade to win 8 Pro
2. Digitiser stylus (dell brand= RM180 each)
3. Docking station

Total was RM2850.

Pls compare it with lenovo options.

yes docking station has a HDMI video output. It will automatically turn on the LCD screen once you dock the tablet onto it. That docking station is heavy and steady indeed.
