don't think we have Venue 11 in Malaysia yet. Singapore looks like got already.

It's a Dell, I'm gonna expect it to be close to 2k

Pass experience was that they priced an ATOM at 2k lar.. Should be close to the way HP prices their stuff.

Well, just ask yourself what you expect to only be able to do on the chosen platform
- iOS you get to play iOS games on it... Ok.. I'm not a serious iOS user, I just install games on the iPod Touch to let my kids play with it, I really don't use it myself so I don't know how to comment
- Windows 8.1 you get to play games on it, could be casual games from the Windows Store, could be indie games (which most likely needs a physical keyboard/mouse or joystick) could be STEAM games... You get proper Office if that's what you need. You don't have to worry about being unable to play any video file, browse any plugin using website, etc. etc.

While I'm pretty sure even with Baytrail you can't beat the iPad's low voltage operation time of 10+ hours, but I think it's safe to say 6~8 hours is a good bet for the Baytrail which is quite decent. Couple with the fact that all the tablets should be chargable from power banks and that's even less of an issue.

It's a Baytrail, it'll chew up H.264 Hi10P 1080P videos.

This is from a W4 but I've tested the T100 before it's the same perf.

By default the T100 probably boots using UEFI instead of BIOS which makes installing stuff a bit different, take a note of it first.

Yeah, using recover image would be better. You should be able to use Windows Recovery Disk creator to make it.

That's what I keep telling ppl, don't complain that there's a desktop and modern ui interface, if you don't want to use one interface then find something that works in the other, and be thankful that you can switch to the other interface when necessary!

I think you'll have much better luck getting a HDMI to VGA adapter and then get a micro to normal hdmi converter.

it won't, most lithium batteries have no memory effect, etc. Etc. Only time to worry is if it starts smoking

It takes a LOT to make the baytrail lag in video check out the perf test below.

what you're seeing is the power of Atom Baytrail!

that's how connected standby is. Go to command prompt and run
- powercfg /batteryreport

Even more info for you to see!

Its enough, just don't go crazy with the browser tabs or run too many things at once.

The baytrail supports connected standby, so like your phone or iPad, its actually running when the screen its off, and therefore all your Skype, vibe, Facebook, etc. Etc. Notifications will all come in.

Lock screen rotation, slide charms bar out from the right, tap the settings gear, notice there's a SCREEN icon near the lower right hand corner, tap on that, the bar that appears is the screen brightness adjuster, we're not interested in that, the screen icon ON TOP of the bar is tappable, that is your screen rotation lock, tap on it and the arrows will change into a lock to indicate lock.

The mount SD card as folder tweak sounds great. I'll try it out and see, I wonder if it's the same as making a Junction Point, which allowed apps to detect that it IS a removable device and refuse to install on it.

I use the VHD method myself.

That's strange.. a Unifying nano wireless receiver should just be a normal keyboard/mouse combo device to windows without using the Unifying software.

Since it might be a Win8.1 issue, I tried it on my Acer W4, but it works fine without any problems.

You're right to be sceptical, Intel hasn't been doing a good job with the Atom, they actually did better than usual on the Clovertrail which is what the Vivotab Smart was using, but there was just something awful about the video performance on that thing.

The new Atom Baytrail on the Asus T100 is definetly much more capable... BUT.. always remember that it is NOT a Core processor, not even a Core i3. And you only have 2GB RAM. Don't go crazy over opening too many browser tabs and you should be fine.

As for video... if you're familiar with the codecs, do you expect an Atom to be able to play 1080P version of high bit rate Anime openings?



Here's a more standardized video performance test

Don't think you should worry too much when it's such a small value, since that's what the meter is reporting to the system, and I guess being analog means it isn't exact.

You can see more stats by opening a command prompt and running :-
powercfg /batteryreport

Then open the webpage which it generated.
