IF the Asus Vivotab 8 launches here. Sorry to be cynical, but I've been burned many times by OEMs who don't bring in stuff ppl actually want to buy. But hopefully all the demand for the Baytrails should encourage them more.

I think you need to install the METRO version of Chrome

That's what I remembered, I know Chrome had something to run in Metro mode.

Driver package usually contains the BIOS update.

Yeah, about that.. it's funny..

I can get great FPS.. but it seems like it's only for ONE time every system reboot... well... I still stand by my words, if you're trying to play PC games on a non gaming PC, it'll always be hit or miss!

Hang on, will do it tomorrow, was working on some stuff tonight and couldn't do it.

Haven't saw in retail, you'll have to risk Lazada, anyway you should see if it meets your requirements cause its a bit funny.

Asphalt 8 is now FREE on the Windows Store, if you downloaded the trial previously, be sure to delete it and then 'buy' it again to get the full version.

Just installed the update last night, I'll run some tests and see.. don't have high hopes though..

The Bluetooth seems to be ok, but of course I could be wrong since the thing is so random in it's problems. Gonna try and watch a movie through my BT speakers and see how well it works since duration seems to be one of the causes for it to have a problem.

I just gotten my own Miracast dongle as well, after some of the things I've read it seems like performance is very much dependant on which dongle you're using. I got this AVF one, what about you?

Which do I prefer? Honestly.. I much prefer Dell actually.. I really like caressing the back of it... mmmmmm....

Have you watched my comparison videos?

Well well well... you're right.. There DOES seem to be something wrong with the VP8 miracast support, try this.. DON'T connect to any Wifi when you're miracasting, even if you do, DON'T try to do anything heavy with it.. ie.. browsing the web, watching videos, etc. etc.

Yes.. that sounds ridiculous but that's what I was seeing yesterday. If it's using the WiFi ONLY for miracast, it's fine and everything works fine. Try to do something else at the same time, and it dies HORRIBLY...

You should always try to use the recovery partition to recover your system first.

Oh wait.. looks like I need to test this some more, when I use my phone to give the V8P internet instead of my office WiFi, there doesn't seem to be an issue... hmmm..

Oh... scratch that.. just died.. but lasted longer than previously using the office wifi.

That could be it, let me just try it with the Acer more and see how it goes.

When you say suddenly, how often does it happen, cause it's fine when I try it.

Back to the Miracast thing.. it's farked up.. sometimes it seems to work great, sometimes not so great. I have a theory now that if I connect to the same AP which the dongle is connected to, I get better results, compared to leaving the dongle with a non internet connection and then connecting to it as p2p

I watched a whole movie using BT audio the other night, no breaks, no lags... keyboards weren't showing immediate problems, I'm still sceptical.

Well.. considering I've run many heavy games without issues, you might want to get it checked out I guess.

Automatic turn off the onboard speaker? If it's the same as mine I guess you can just turn off the program which talks to the dongle, when it's in Miracast mode you done need it on already.

Some additional testing has basically told me that mine is just WEIRD... sometimes it's great.. sometimes not so great... sometimes it'll die because it's trying to mirror 1080P, sometimes it works fantastically with very little lag.

Sometimes it'll die by just trying to refresh a notepad opened on the screen

It supports miracast which I guess is widi ?

Problem is the results are so unpredictable, we're not really sure if its the dongle or device that's causing the problems.
