32GB Asus VivoTab 10.1" Wi-Fi Windows 8 RT Tablet with Keyboard (TF600T-B1-GR) $349 + Free Shipping

If anyone from New York wants to buy this from me... PM me ...

Quote from busywork : looks like the TF600 is discontinued... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6834230664 hopefully more deals pop up

They're still carrying the 64GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6834230665 as well as the 32GB Open Box.

I'm more concerned with getting a backup power /usb cable. Has anyone had any luck finding those yet?

I hate proprietary cables

Did you see, they only want $10 to ship it. So that $20 cable is now $30 delivered.

I'll keep my dog away from the cable before I find a $3 non-oem chinese cable on ebay

The extra cable sucks.. but my Wife absolutely loves her Vivotab.

She uses it a lot for office.

I mapped the photos folder to her microsd card (32gb) so she has all our vacation and baby's photos with her all the time.

I also mapped the synology drive for movies and music to her tablet. Then she copied down her favorites onto another 32gb card that I just swapped into her keyboard.

This keyboard usb port is a life saver. I installed this:

The old microsd card (from my old cell phone 32gb) went right into the PLUG part. You remove the cover and it sits almost completely inside the usb port. It's a pain to remove - you basically use your fingernails.

OR you can use it with the cap still on so you can remove easier. Its the same size as the logitech nano receiver.

For 96gb and 15hours of battery with MS Office there was nothing close for her. I could have gotten an ultrabook (ASUS) with touch for $499 but the problem was the battery life wouldn't last her a day at work/on the road or airplanes.

This is a great media consumption device because of it's ease of expansion and ultra long battery life. (It's a legit 14 hours on movies because we watched 3 movies on a 12 hour flight is it still had plenty of juice left)

For $400 you can get a 96gb tablet. What other tablet can be 96gb, (81 usable), 15hours of battery and run office?

Last huge bonus - the browser runs everything you throw at it. I haven't found a site yet that gave me error or flash required etc. It runs full desktop sites - not mobile versions which is great. My Nexus 7 constantly gets "Flash required" and I'm not in the mood to root it so I just pick up her tablet.

Yes RT is lacking apps but there are plenty on there for her to stay occupied. It's much better than the playbook app store is.

Quote from ckyllr : I love mine as well. Like other mentioned before, if you use it in desktop mode, it's like having a little netbook as long as you don't need to load bunch of software. But that's how I used mine for was to watch videos, internet, and email on the msi netbook I paid $500 in late 2008. If you think about that, this deal is a bargain for what you get. If I can only get that $500 back on that POS MSI netbook. On the tablet side... it works really well as one. I have a windows 8 phone so... didn't take too long for me to get use to it. It's like getting a tablet and netbook for the price of one with so much more battery life. Happy I didn't hesitate to buy. Now ... if I can find some good apps for it.

My wife loves hers and I like it as well.. quick question on your Windows 8 phone.

How does the OS scale down? It works great on the tablet/netbook combination but how is it on the phone?

I wasn't sure if I'd like it and carriers requiring a 2 year commitment makes it tough to hop on board. If MS does a "Microsoft Nexus" type of thing for $299 for a really nice phone then I'd probably take a chance.

I think Windows 8 sucks without touchscreen to be honest. I couldn't imagine using a Windows 8 laptop without it now that I've used hers.

15 hours battery life - untouchable - and no external battery pack/cables required.

BTW - most people don't know - I leave the keyboard plugged in to charge when she has the tablet in her hands and I can plug my nexus 7 up to the keyboard and charge it through the usb.

Also, my nexus 7 hooks up to her tablet and I can transfer files through USB mass storage to the nexus tablet.

NO CLUE how to use NFC on these things though. Any ideas? Google was ZERO help.

Super deal! How did I miss this deal? I would have picked one up at this price with the keyboard. Looks like some of you all are selling yours on eBay. Several new listings with keyboard showed up recently.

I love mine too. This was absolutely a killer deal.

Do you have another NFC enabled device like a smartphone? If you do, you can tap two together to share photos, contacts, links, and such. It's a neat feature to have around. You don't have to mess with emails or cloud storage to get something from your friend at a coffee shop, for example.

For unlocked, no contract WP8 phone, you might want to check out Lumia 620 . Only $280. It's not a high end but great little phone. See Engadget for recent review. Very highly rated. But for 100 more, you can probably pick up a Lumia 920 (locked to AT&T) off ebay or craigslist. Many people consider it the best phone out there. GL.

Thanks.. yeah I have a Nexus 7 and pressed the devices together like a moron (like I see on tv) and touched every side but no menu popped up. Maybe I have to have the photo open or something?

I guess I'll give it another try tonight.

On the sender side, you first need to select something and choose the tap-to-share option to kick off NFC transaction. Then put/tap two devices together where NFC sensor is located. For Vivotab that would be the upper left side looking at the rear panel, I think. If both sides have NFC enabled, you will then get a prompt on the receiver side whether to accept it or not.

Windows 8 OS on the phone is very similar to RT as far as tiles and the look of it on the home screen but it's designed to be very mobile friendly. I compare it more to the iphone than I would an android phone. It took getting used to at first but I love my lumia 920 because of the super fast refresh rate and lack of lag. Everything just flies... I think it's on par or exceeds that of an iphone but I haven't used iphone 5 yet. I haven't really tried to integrate my windows phone to my windows rt yet. They just kind of exist as separate entities. By the way... I also have nexus 7 and nexus 4 as well for the android experience. Not sure which is more superior but I used all of them bit different for different occasions.
