Value for money, Windows 8, decent camera, good battery life
Screen could be better, dull design, can run slowly
A decent Windows 8 tablet that, despite a lack of processing prowess, still offers a good proposition for business buyers...

Fine screen, Good design and build quality, Runs Windows 8 not Windows RT, Excellent value
Jerky framerates on 3D games, Average battery life
Were you just looking for a tablet and not a convertible netbook-like device, then the VivoTab Smart ME400 has an awful lot going for it. It’s well-designed, nicely balanced, has a great screen and feels fast enough for anything bar serious gaming and m...
Slim design, full Windows 8, 8 megapixel camera and 2 megapixel camera,
Screen not full HD, processor a bit underpowered
Good to see the full version of Windows 8 on a standard tablet, and the better-than-average camera will probably appeal to some. But while it comes in at a reasonable price, the Microsoft Surface RT offers a better screen, more powerful processor and i...
Abstract: Most Windows 8 tablets come with keyboards so that they can also be used as a laptop. The Asus Vivotab Smart ME400 is a little different. Although a matching Bluetooth keyboard that clips onto the bottom edge of the ME400 is available, this costs extra...
The Asus VivoTab Smart ME400C is aimed at the budget shopper who wants a full Windows 8 slate tablet, but it won't replace your laptop....

Excellent general specs, 8MP camera, full Windows 8
Processor slow, Ports problematic, Could be brighter
When you think about the tablet leader, the iPad, it's hard to look past its stunning combination of performance and power at a great price point. That, combined with the Retina display, means that if you just want a tablet device for apps, entertainment...
The Asus VivoTab Smart is slim and portable, has good screen colours and runs on the full version of Windows 8, letting you install any software you want. Its Atom processor won't let you tackle intense tasks like photo editing without complaining, but...
Ignore all the hype about the Microsoft Surface: Asus’ hardware puts it to shame. Typically, Intel-powered tablets are thick, noisy affairs, but this model’s just 9.7mm thin and at 580g, pleasantly light too. Though it’s non-descript, it’s a whole lot more portable than Microsoft’s clunky Surface - and that doesn’t even run full Windows 8 like this does.On the sides, you’ll find a micro HDMI port
If it’s ease of use you want, avoid the Asus VivoTab Smart. Yes, you can have more than one app on screen at once, and yes, you can use whatever web browser you like. But it can be daunting for tech newbies, and more than a little fiddly tapping the right icon and moving windows around on a relatively small touchscreen. To get the most out of it you’re better off plugging in a keyboard and mouse,
The Asus VivoTab Smart is absolutely not for everyone. If it’s a bargain you want, get a £159 Google Nexus 7. If it’s smarts and sexy looks, you can nab an iPad mini for just £269. But there’s still an audience out there, who ever since day one have be...
Full Windows experience, compact and light, well-built, upgradable storage via microSD
Can be sluggish, not enough RAM, Windows 8 is confusing here and RT would have been simpler
There's so much to consider here that it's almost enough to make your head melt. First, there's the price - £400 is reasonable for a tablet, especially one as flexible as this. At the same time though, laptops are cheaper and offer more power. And...

We liked the ASUS VivoTab Smart, but there's enough room for improvement. The lack of a USB port is one example. But there's something to be said for a pure tablet running the full Windows 8, as you can use all your normal Windows programs, and can also...
