After quite a few rumors without any images, a recent leak finally revealed the first 8-inch Windows tablet from Asus. The Intel Bay Trail-powered slate finally got a name, although it has not been confirmed by Asus yet - VivoTab Note 8.
While the VivoTab Note 8 could get a dual-boot variant as previously rumored, this is expected to be just a Windows 8 tablet that is powered by the Intel Atom Z3740D quad-core processor with 2 MB cache and frequency up to 1.8 GHz. The slate will also feature 2 GB of memory, up to 64 GB of internal storage, 8-inch IPS display with 1,280X800 pixels and 10-point capacitive multitouch, as well as support for pen input.
Next to the above, the table is expected to pack a 15 Whr battery, front/rear cameras and stereo speakers, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. It will be loaded with Windows 8.1 32-bit and Office 2013 Home & Student and should retail for about $300. The popular Transformer Book T100 sells for about $400 or less and also features a keyboard dock, so it is possible to see one included with the Asus VivoTab Note 8 as well.
We will get back to the upcoming members of the Asus VivoTab family as soon as new information becomes available.
