Hello everyone.
I'm looking forward to spend my money on one of thoses new Windows RT tablets,
I can't make up my mind on which one to buy [Microsoft Surface RT or ASUS VivoTab RT]. Plz let me know if these tablets are worth it or if i should go for an andriod tablet instead.
Looking forward to all your suggestions and personal experiences with any of those tablets.
Oh yeah, one more question. Can these Windows RT tablets be jailbroken/rooted?
Thank you guys.
The is a Jailbreak tool for Windows RT in this Forum ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092158
It seems that the tool is running on both tablets. But there are some bugs on the Vivo Tab
I've used the vivo and the surface. the surface is thiner and more mobile. the vivo tab it bigger (with the dock) but the Keyboard is better.
i recomend the surface, but both are mutch better then andoid tablets
If you want to do more then just Surfing and looking Videos and playing games and actually work with the tablet, Windows rt is mutch better
oops. wrong thread.

maybe somebody know it
If the built-in camera matters much to you, the Asus is probably better. I have a Surface RT, and its 1.0 megapixel cameras are nothing to write home about - most smartphone cameras easily surpass it, and if the Vivo's camera lives up to its 8 MP it'll probably blow the Surface away in that regard. The Surface also does not have NFC, although I honestly have yet to find a time when I'd actually need to use it.
Other than that, the Surface is a really good device and I've been satisfied with its performance so far. I'd recommend it (though I cannot speak for the Asus, which I have not actually tried).
VivoTab
VivoTab for sure, if you need GPS (I do), better front and rear cameras (I do, the rear for "scanning"), need to use it (with the dock) on your lap (I do), or NFC (I don't). Otherwise, it's a toss up, but pick the Surface in you don't need any of the features mentioned.

I think ill go for Asus Vivopad.. but on the other hand, Surface pro is coming out. How about I wait for that?

don't, its $900 and has a worse battery life than most ultra books. Go for the asus. You are basically buying a laptop with the surface pro.
IMHO I think a android tablet with linux installed is much better than wp8, but that's my opinion.

besides camera and gps superiority do not over look the fact that you can use the vivo tab all day with the keyboard!
I have decided to buy a windows pro tablet.. I need the functionality of a laptop and the portability of a tablet. I'm a die hard fan of android, and had numerous tablets. But for work and studies it seems only a PC that's a option.. Surface rt is not an option as I would rather use a android tablet if I'd wanted another ARM based device.
CES is coming up, surfaces pro is soon arriving, and I guess we`ll see a lot of competition/alternatives in this segment.
I need the computer to be able to transform to a tablet(screen only, keyboard off) and battery life is important. I don't care about ultra performance, gaming etc..
What's your 5¢? Go surface pro or is there anything else worth my money? I do care about developer support to my devices though..

I discarded the idea of Core i-series based tablets mainly because of the battery life and fans. I like the Atom based tablets more because they can be lighter, go several hours longer on a charge, and still offer reasonable performance.
Also I wanted a tablet that could dock into a keyboard for a more traditional laptop like form factor. I don't like the Surface tablets with their kickstands and keyboard covers. I want something I could rest in my lap and type on if wanted.
I ended up getting the Samsung Ativ Smart PC 500T. Mostly because it was the only thing available (other than the Acer 500W). I'm satisfied with the Atom performance in the 500T. Things take longer to load, but usually works well after it has. Office 2010 works great. Chrome works okay (IE works better). I can even run some low end desktop games from Steam like Torchlight.
It seems like most of the Windows 8 Atom tablets seem to have various glitches, probably mostly due to early drivers. I've mostly been reading the Samsung and HP forums, the HP Envy X2 is something I somewhat considered exchanging my Samsung for. But it sounds like the keyboard on the HP isn't that good, and there are issues with the trackpad not working after waking the tablet up (have to redock to get it working). My issues with the Samsung is the screen doesn't tilt back far enough, the back is slippery. And software issues, sometimes wifi and Bluetooth to play together nicely, and it has a problem sleeping when in the keyboard dock and closed.
The software glitches will be resolved in time. The hardware issues I can probably live with. So I'm guessing I'll probably stick with my Samsung. Still think it's a better choice than the considerably more expensive Surface Pro or other Core i-series tablets.

I have had this for a while and most of the software issues are resolvable via 3rd party apps - particularly the on screen keyboard not appearing in text boxes (I use Comfort Keys - $30 but worth every penny). You may want to visit tweaks.com and bleepingcomputer.com for some good info
And I agree - it's well built - I had a Surface RT - crap, buggy software and the covers were cheap garbage.
Just get rid of the Samsung bloatware and you'll be fine
I've had my runs with Samsung, but can't say I'll jump for joy when I think about it.. But thanks alot for your input, appreciate it.. The envy is something to consider..
I dont need the brute force the i series gives, also fans is a turnoff on a tablet.
Any thoughts on Asus vivotab?
Or this? http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/transformerBook.htm
Asus is throwing out a whole series.. Looking good.

I'm using the Toshiba T925u. It is rather pricey ($1100), but it is i5 and makes about 5 hours on a charge (more if you tweak the settings). It is a bit large at 12.5 inch screen. The keyboard slides out from under the screen.

I just got my Acer W510 - and I'm loving it so far!
The fact that its cheap can be felt at some point, but given the price of it I certainly can live with it.
The battery life is really great, even without the dock.
Its worth to consider ?

The vivotab has a better screen than the ativ, which I have and love. 600 nits is nuts, the ativ is around 400 which most tablets are. The ativ is way cheaper. Arounf 750 for tab and keyboard. 819 for just the tablet on the vivo 810. Dock is another 200. As mentioned, the best thing to do with the ativ as soon as you get it is reinstall win 8 and erase everything then do all the updates. Great stuff.
From an unlocked Note 2. Hmm...... Can you hear me Verizon, out on Uranus?
I DO Not reccomend the surface for a few reasons:
1. The trackpad is awful. Truly. And the keyboard isn't very good either. And the onscreen keyboard is garbage for productivity. In addition to all these facts, I find that the 'form factor' of getting stuff done, is sitting upright, with the keyboard in front of you and the tablet standing up. This is all well and good, but you can find the same form factor in the much better zenbook touch which costs about the same price as the surface(if you include the surface keyboard).
2. The zenbook touch not only has a full sized, better keyboard, and a better trackpad, the touch screen is 13 inches and is HD.
3. Developers have no incentive to make apps for windows 8. Apps they have been developing for w7 work on w8 so there's no reason to switch over to the abysmally selling OS. This means using desktop apps, which aren't amazing for touch. This is where you use a trackpad, and again, the one on the surface is awful.
All in all the zenbook touch offers a WAY better package in the same price range.

i agree with all your points. but its a bit like comparing oranges and apples where the surface is a tablet and the zenbook is a laptop.
I am changing out my android tablets for a windows pro machine, as said in first post i need the PC functions.. but want to keep the tablet factor.. possibility to take of the screen and use it as a tablet.
as a first glance the vivo series looks like a winner for me.

Actually the vivo 600 is rt. The vivitab 810 has the atom processor and runs 8 pro.

yeps, as he said.
but what is the difference between vivotab and vivotab smart? what makes it so "smart" other than screensize?
http://www.asus.com/vivo/en/vivoTab.htm
the transformer book looks awesome, but i5/i7 with fans, and it seems to be steeply priced.. but 13" screen would have been nice.
acer w510 is essentially exactly what you're looking for...
It feels bit cheap but I actually like it - and the white trim/silver back looks very clean.
It's 10.1" (better than 11.6" IMO) - its lightweight, and it has the docking attachment.
I bought my 32gb version for $399 at microcenter. You add the dock from acer for $150 and for near $580 with tax, there is nothing that is touching it for a full windows 8 tablet that is portable, great battery life. Windows 8 RT is a joke compared to full windows 8.
There are some bugs but man its hard to beat right now.

Yeah, a buddy got one and I have say it is pretty awesome. Pound for pound best deal for the money. I guess in comparing the two it would come down to screen size which is more of a preference thing than anything. You wouldn't think going from an 11.6 to a 10.1 would make such a difference in portability, but it really does.

Have you considered and ipad and bluetooth keyboard ?
Maybe a note2 and bt keyboard ?
The only reasons I ask are current application a hardware support for these devices. They're both more mature in software and hardware segments right now. A few professionals I know that tried big tablets like the surface have returned then and gone back to laptops that fold flat like heavy tablets, or ipads. Their reasons were app development not mature enough and the size of the surface opposed to its not-quite-a-laptop functionality pushed them back to convertable laptops. Just something to keep in mind.

Are you sure they did run a full win 8 and not just the winRT? With the full win 8 you can basically install whatever you like - which renders the missing app situation an invalid point.
Having an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard myself I'm shocked that professionals actually use that as a working tool!? I've tried it myself but when working with a sleightly locked down it infrastructure you're pretty much reduced to Citrix or remote desktop which renders the missing app situation an invalid point...
Once more I'd vote for the w510 - its cheap, reasonly well build and really kicks ass for lightweight tasks

Microsoft Surface Pro, Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro, or the newly announced Lenovo Thinkpad Helix for me at this point.
All have a digitizer and pen, which I'm looking for in my tab. I'll be watching the Helix close as the 256GB SSD + i7 + extra juice are attractive to me, but the Surface Pro with a 10.6" screen w/ an i5 seems a bit more portable.
The Samsung allows for taking the keyboard off and running in pure tablet mode as well, but what do you do with the keyboard when you're not at home / at your desk? Seems clunky to me. Hense the attractiveness of the "Rip and Flip" concept of the Helix =)
We'll see how price and performance plays with this in the coming weeks / months though...
I was wondering if any of you knew of a larger compatible stylus for the Note 4 I could purchase. I don't want to use one that has a fat capacitive end like all those cheap styluses I see on the internet, I'm talking about a larger stylus with the same functionality of the S-Pen.
Pretty sure the Wacom specific stylus' work. Here is one specific for the note line, but I think others work as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Stylus-Samsung-CS300UK2/dp/B00IWJM9SW
The first notes used to have the pen accessory that came with a styles and it slipped into a "pen" sized holder. Wish samsung brought that back for our devices.

There are several options:
Most (if not all, because The Note series is using Wacom technology) Wacom styli works
HM-5100 Bluetooth-enabled S Pen
Or the fancy Montblanc Styli
All of those are larger styli that works with our Note 4.
I hope I can help
Edit:
I added links:
You need penabled styli. So the Wacom Intuos will not work, but FE a wacom pen for Microsoft surface will work, and for nealry every tablet PC will work!!
Is there any third party S Pen's that are actually fulled sized pens? I'm aware of the Mont Blanc offerings but I don't think they are available atm but have no intention of spending $300 on one.
I use the Note 4 in lectures for school and would appreciate something that could offer a more comfortable writing experience.
I've been looking for one too. Somebody should make one. It is a very popular phone.

You could give this one a try but it is listed for the Note 2 so I'm not sure if it will be fully compatible. If you do try it, please report back
Edit: I also found this one which may be even less compatible from the Amazon reviews but *might* still work.
Well you might find it interesting. But my surface pro 2 pen works with all my notes. And vice versa. Pretty nice.

Yes,sometime it's funny for those wacom stylus with eraser function work well too.
normal for writing/drawing,reverse it for erasing like eraser.
pen pressure base on the stylus level too.
There quite a few compatible ones on wacom's site.

This is the one I have used on my Note 2, Note 3 Note 10.1, Note 10.1 2014, and can use on my note 4. Performs like the OEM stylus and has the button to activate the s-pen functions. Keep in mind that I only use it for writing and not drawing or artwork.
I ran across this little article and I was thinking that when this option becomes available it may be applicable to the Surface. I was able to get a surface for free from a friend of mine who was having trouble charging it. I was there doing work on a laptop for her dad and she just told me I could have the tablet. I offered to try and repair it, and she just said to keep it. So, got the surface rt, blue keyboard, and a case. Come to find out that all that was bad was the charger. Some loose wires. I wasn't able to fix the charger, but I have a new one coming tomorrow. Now I have to come up something to do with this little tablet. Minecraft for the kids would be preferred. Everything else is fine on the tablet. So, a little curious to see how this Windows 10 ARM works and if it will work to put on the Surface RT. Especially, with the emulation built in.

lol x86 emulation isn't going to work on a Tegra 3. There has been work on porting Windows 10 IoT to the tablet but there is a lot to do like porting drivers and applications
