Re: [PLUG] Cheap x86 Windows tablet?


It looks like some devices to consider would be:
Asus Transformer Book T100
Dell Venue 8 Pro
Acer Iconia

The Asus has a 10.1" screen, the others have 8.1" screens. But the resolutions are comparable (1,366 x 768 for the Asus, 1,280 x 800 for the others). The Dell doesn't com with a keyboard.

For more money, there's the Sony VAIO Tap 11, with an 11.1" screen at 1,920 x 1,080. Specs are more comparable to the Surface:

I'm not a "tech enthusiast", so even learning the desirable models in the class is a necessary first step for me. Now to try to figure which one is likely to be usable with something other than Win 8.
