The perfect electronic notepad

The Asus Vivotab grade 8 is the perfect electronic notepad with pen input functioning thanks to the integrated Wacom digitizer.
Everything that the Dell Venue Pro 8 promised but not held has (to date) that you get the Asus.

I was forever on the lookout for a digital notepad. I was there the full Windows 8 operating system important (not the RT version), pen input, the ability to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking as speech recognition system and the output possibility via Push2TV to a larger monitor or projector.

My previously used the Asus Vivotab TF 810 C is a notepad, which I will have always with you, because of its dimensions actually too big.
When I read the first reports of the Dell product, I was really excited. With this device, I thought I could close my gap in the tool chain. I was skeptical because of the active digitizer and stylus, as Dell has ventured into new territory here.

And it actually turned out as I had feared. Neither the pen input worked, yet the Push2TV issue. While the latter could be corrected by a driver update, lacks a functioning active pen until today.

And in my futile waiting time on this pin replacement was the announcement of the Asus Vivotab Note 8. So I ordered also this device. And I was not disappointed.

All the positive features of the Dell Windows Tablet with the appropriate general technical conditions, such as size, performance of quad-core processors, as well as brilliance of the display, of course, also apply to the Asus device.

But the highlight is certainly the perfect functioning pen input via the integrated Wacom digitizer. Not only is a pen that you can make them disappear inside the unit, supplied directly, but I can, for example, the supplied with the bigger Asus device Wacom pen alternatively to use.

The establishment of Dragon NaturallySpeaking went smoothly, my Bluetooth headset has been recognized properly. Even dictating power, just like writing with the pen, fun, because the processor can provide the necessary power.

Push2TV was no problem at all. the drivers were immediately recognized correctly, the screen output on the large flat screen monitor was carried out without difficulty.

For all these reasons, the Asus is the perfect digital notepad for me!

PS And my Dell machine has now found another owner, the pins replacement I could unsubscribe.

Update for pen input:
I have graduated now once at each edge of the tablet, a write test, ie up, down, left right. Easily. Pictures of it I put in the gallery.

And I'm really critical. The first Asus Vivotab TF810c I exchanged for such identification problems.

Update for Windows Button
The Windows button is mounted on the left side. Off-center, as with most Tablets as a sensor button on the front at the bottom.

I've read that many find no good. I find it - except for the imprecise tactile feedback - good for pen input. How many times I have been annoyed at Vivotab TF810C you that I have caused the sensor when writing with the pen and was suddenly on the home page. And the entry was gone. And yes, you can, of course, the tablet on its head for writing to prevent this, but it likes better.
