ASUS Announces the Incredible Vivo Tab and Vivo Tab RT tablets at IFA

Two new tablets with a dual-purpose design that combines a
high-resolution multi-touch display and a detachable QWERTY keyboard
dock for a great Microsoft® Windows 8 experience.

IFA, Berlin, Germany, (August 29, 2012) - ASUS, a global leader in the
new digital era, today announces two incredible new tablets intended
to run Windows 8. First unveiled at Computex in June, the ASUS Vivo
Tab and ASUS Vivo Tab RT (formerly known as the ASUS Tablet 810 and
ASUS Tablet 600 respectively) open up a new world of mobile
possibilities and transform expectations about what tablets can do.

Meet Vivo
With a name taken from the Latin verb "to live", Vivo is
designed as a constant companion that blends the familiar elegance of
ASUS tablet design with Microsoft Corporations' new touch-enabled
Windows 8 operating system.

Vivo has a dual-purpose design that combines a high-resolution
multi-touch Super IPS+ display with a detachable QWERTY keyboard dock
to provide a great Windows 8 experience. ASUS TruVivid technology with
Corning® Fit Glass gives improved colour clarity and superior scratch
resistance, while the keyboard not only transforms Vivo into a
convenient clamshell ultraportable, but also provides a secondary
battery for prolonged mains-free use.
With an 11.6" screen backed by high-precision Wacom digitiser
stylus technology, the Vivo Tab is designed with productivity in mind,
while the ultra-light Vivo Tab RT is ideally suited to entertainment
on the go. Get more done, enjoy new experiences and connect with
others in exciting new ways - Vivo makes it all possible.

ASUS Vivo Tab

The ASUS Vivo Tab features the Next Generation Intel® Atom™ processor
and has 2GB RAM with 64GB eMMC (embedded multimedia card) user
storage. An incredible Windows 8 experience makes it a smart choice
for professional and personal use. With support for 1024-level Wacom
digitizer for precise work and navigation, ASUS Vivo Tab maximizes
productivity and provides the best input experience.

Key to the Vivo Tab's recipe for Windows 8 is the supplied mobile
dock. This instantly transforms the tablet into a compact clamshell
ultraportable, complete with full QWERTY keyboard, trackpad, two USB
ports and second battery for extended use away from the mains.

The 11.6" display with a 1366 x 768 resolution uses Super IPS+
technology to deliver superior visual clarity both indoors and out,
and its 10-point multi-touch is complemented by Wacom digitiser stylus
technology for high-precision stylus input and a more natural writing
experience.

Despite its compact dimensions and ultra-thin 8.7mm and 675g profile,
the Vivo Tab still delivers superlative sound quality, thanks to the
same SonicMaster technology used on ASUS' award-winning notebooks.
High-quality photographs can also be captured with the 8-megapixel
rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, along with a 2-megapixel
front-facing camera for video chats. The Vivo Tab also features a
built-in NFC sensor, enabling the device to easily sync with other
NFC-enabled devices.

ASUS Vivo Tab RT

The ASUS Vivo Tab RT has a slim and light profile that's 8.3mm thin
and 520g light. It features the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor
and 12-core GPU for outstanding mobile graphics performance, along
with 2GB RAM and 32GB eMMC user storage. Supplied with Windows RT,
tablet users with entertainment in mind will find a great partner in
the Vivo Tab RT.


The Vivo Tab RT also has the same innovative Transformer design as the
Vivo Tab and is supplied with its own mobile dock that provides a
QWERTY keyboard, track pad, USB port and built-in battery.

Windows 8 apps, games and movies will look incredible on the Vivo Tab
RT's 10.1" display with 1366 x 768 resolution and Super IPS+
technology, while ASUS SonicMaster technology ensures top-quality
audio. The Vivo Tab RT has the same high-quality front and rear
cameras as the Vivo Tab too, making it an excellent all-round
multimedia performer. It also features a built-in NFC sensor, enabling
the device to easily sync with other NFC-enabled devices.
