ASUS Transformer Book T100 Vs Lenovo Miix 2 10 (18)

Lenovo Miix 2 Price Drops to $599. 64GB at $499 (USA)


After a wobbly start in the US I think the Lenovo Miix 2 is about to take off. Lenovo have dropped the unexpectedly high price for the 128GB model to $599 and now offer the 64GB version at $499. With that they’ve made good on their original pricing plan. The price is $100 more than you can find the ASUS T100 for though and that option, which has been very popular over the last 2 months, has longer battery life!

The question of T100 Vs Miix 2 10 is a complex one and I will be helping you to answer that question soon as both devices are here in the office now. Obviously the screen and keyboard are the main points of comparison but there’s also the availability to consider. The T100 has been so popular that it’s being offered at $499 in some cases where it’s in-stock.

3 Lenovo Miix 2 10 Demo Videos


Lenovo Mixx 2 10 _3_You might get the impression that I like the Lenovo Miix 2 10 when you see how much time I’ve spent with it recently. I’ve just produced 3 new videos, in addition to the unboxing video and there’s lots of testing going on. The truth is that I am really enjoying this tablet-first device. Like the ASUS Transformer T100 I think it’s going to be a big seller as a secondary PC that extends from the sofa to the desktop and includes the holiday, car and hotel in between, both for business and pleasure.

Toshiba Encore WT8 Review


WP_20131229_12_07_42_Pro

This is UMPCPortal, the site that’s been covering handheld Windows PCs since 2006 and as you might imagine we’ve been quite excited about the return of the small-form-factor Windows PC. The Acer Iconia W3 piqued our interest earlier in the year but the sector has now been completely re-born through products that combine Intel’s Baytrail platform with Windows 8.1. The Dell Venue 8 Pro is one of five or six devices already on the market and it will be joining us soon but we’ve already bought the Toshiba Encore WT8 and our full review is here. There are additional videos on our YouTube channel and even more detail coming soon.

Toshiba Encore WT8 Unbox, Overview and Tests (Video.) Yes, you can say UMPC.


WT8 snapI’ve tested a number of Baytrail devices and, as always with a new platform, there’s potentially a difference between the over-excited experience at the launch event and real-life usage; Sometimes it’s disappointing. In this case, I’m extremely excited because the experience is better than I thought. I’ve just received the Toshiba Encore WT8 (bought for UMPCPortal) and spent 2 hours unboxing and testing in front of cameras. My first impressions in blog-form will take a few days but if you’ve got time to watch through this 40 minute testing video, you’ll see why I’m excited. That’s all I’m saying for now. Your questions are, as always, welcome.

ASUS Vivotab Note 8 M80TA 8-inch Windows 8 Tablet Coming


 

M80TA

The ASUS Vivotab Note 8 is coming. Spotted in a number of places around the net, including the ASUS website, it’s pretty much confirmed. Mobilegeeks have chased down the specifications of this Windows 8.1 Baytrail tablet that will start at $299. The Wacom digitizer stands out.

  • Display: 8-inch IPS. 1280×800 resolution
  • Touchscreen: 10-finger capacitive, Wacom-Digitizer with Stylus (Possible option)
  • OS: Windows 8.1 with Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student
  • Processor: 1.33 – 1,86GHz Intel Atom Z3740
  • RAM: 2 GB
  • Internal storage: 32 or 64 Gigabyte
  • Connectivity: MicroSD, MicroUSB, 3.5mm audio.
  • Wireless: WLAN a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS
  • Camera: 5Mp rear, 1,2 Mp rear
  • Other:: Stereo speakers and mic.
  • Battery: 3950mAh, 15Wh
  • Colour: Black
  • Size: 220,9 x 133,8 x 10,95 mm.
  • Weight: 380 g

With price, weight and specifications the same as most of the 8-inch tablets one wonders why ASUS are coming so late to the market but the Wacom digitizer will be a big attraction for many. Apart from that it’s down to quality, availability, accessories and offers.

Based on the content that ASUS have prepared, one can expect the ASUS Vivotab Note 8 very soon.
