Asus VivoTab tablet offers Windows Surface Pro for just £399

Folks smarting from the upmarket price tags on the Microsoft Surface Pro tablets announced yesterday may be interested in taking a look at Asus’s budget Asus VivoTab which runs the full blown Windows 8 OS (and not the slimmed-down RT version).

Asus VivoTab tablet offers Windows Surface Pro for just £399

Set to bundle into stores January 31, the VivoTab packs a 10.1-inch HD LED display, 1.8GHz dual-core Intel processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and 8MP rear camera, with a wallet friendly price tag of £399.

There’s also an optional keyboard cover which will make typing a whole lot easier, but therein lies the sting, with Asus slapping on a rather wild £90 price tag.

Even with the pricey keyboard, users will still be able to get their hands on a tablet/laptop combo capable of running full Windows programmes for around 200 quid less than Microsoft’s Surface Pro.
