Asus Vivo Smart Tab - Pros & Cons

VivoTab Smart is very svelte
smoother performance and run apps designed for
accurate colors and decent detail
both extremely portable and usable
The display is adequately sharp
and color and contrast are easily on par with the competition
excellent durability and scratch-resistance
Surprisingly comfortable keyboard The Bluetooth keyboard accessory is surprisingly pleasant to use
Battery life is good and long
solid performance and all day battery life
ease and comfort of use
surprisingly easy to type on

no stylus to help get at tiny elements and menus
lack of input ports
utilizes Adobe Flash also slows or freezes the system
feel creaky or cheap
not on the front of the tablet
Ports and slots are pretty limited-it
Limited port selection requires adapters for usability
No adapters are included to convert those micro ports to full-size
unable to complete our Photoshop test due to insufficient RAM
suite not bundled with the tablet
VivoTab Smart is a bit of a letdown is battery life
it costs $50 in addition to the tablet
drop-off in quality
the camera might feel a bit slow
not to find a full-size USB port
we struggled to frame shots in the Camera app
exactly set the world alight
the execution of Windows RT was flawed
slightly reduced brightness is noticeable in outdoor conditions
problematic in bright sunlight or excessive overhead lighting
lack of a second battery in the keyboard dock only exacerbates
poor support from ASUS
Smart's performance fell off precipitously
a full-size USB port
they're also more expensive
keys are smaller than a standard keyboard
not optimal for use on a lap

This slim tablet has slim accessories to match. Its full Windows OS is nice, but it is a tablet, so don't expect PC-level performance.
