| Re: [PLUG] Cheap x86 Windows tablet? |
I'd probably go for the Acer or the Asus. I really wish they would have stuck with the 7" form factors but 8.1" I suppose isn't much worse. At 10" or more, I'll just do a netbook. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Keith C. Perry, MS E.E.

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. http://www.cnet.com/products/asus-transformer-book-t100/ 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: http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-vaio-tap-11/ 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. -- Greg Helledy GRA, Incorporated P: +1 215-884-7500 F: +1 215-884-1385 www.gra.aero ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
