Asus VivoTab RT TF600T
The Taiwanese manufacturer announced the Asus VivoTab RT TF600T in November 2012. Asus decided to use the successful hybrid design of its Android model, but instead the company has pre-installed Windows RT OS as an operating system. Asus has built this model with a 10.1 inch display, a half inch less than Microsoft’s Surface tablet. The final result is a tablet that weighs 20% less than its rivals or just 525 grams. Asus ViVoTab RT TF600T comes with an optional docking part. When joined together, both parts weigh 1.07 kg or 107 grams more than the Surface. The screen offers a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and a pixel density of 155 ppi. The innards are very similar to the Surface. We are having a quad-core processor ticking over at 1.3 GHz with 2 GB of RAM. The tablet is offered with either 32 or 64 GB of storage, both variants come with micro SD slots supporting up to 64GB. There are two cameras. On the back, there’s a 8 MP shooter capable of 1080p videos. Up front, we are looking at a 2 MP camera suitable for video calls. As far as the connectivity, the RT TF600T tablet comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, micro USB and NFC. | |
