Last time I used a netbook it struggled running microsoft word.
Really hope some of these wacom digitised sceens come with Ivy bridge.

Windows 8 is supposed to run better than Windows 7 on low powered hardware though. We really can't decide if the performance will be 'good enough' until the the devices are available for review.
Now has any 7" Win8 ( or Win RT) tablet with Wacom pen support been announced yet?

Yes it's actually quite strange.

In the case for photoshop work how windows 8 run will not matter if the chips can't handle how artists and designers regularly uses photoshop/any other adobe creative suite program. That's not to mention being able to multitask between them which is pretty important for my workflow.
Then again maybe it's not aimed at the pro market. Or the CPU will be better than I think it is. Netbook level performance is not encouraging though.
The 800 will surely be less than 1100 dollars.

Does anyone know how good the atoms actually are? I am not a pc gamer, but I like to play Team Fortress 2 from time to time. I wouldnt care if i needed to lower the settings. A tablet/netbook office-and-internet machine would be great without having to drop a premium for ivybridge.
If you want to do intensive Photoshop work, you shouldn't be looking at tablets with an Atom. Medfield was already reviewed by Anandtech and its about as fast as today's high end smartphone chips, like the S4. That's how it's able to use far less power than traditional x86 chips. It's an SoC.
The 810's 2GB of ram will be challenging as well.
Anyhow, what's up with these guys making monster tablets? 12" and higher tablets will be much heavier than the (already heavy) 10" ones. And this…I just don't know…

Holy shit at that size.
Wall mounted devices, for kiosk's, for the less portable locations parhaps. Lots of usage really, especially for companies.
Loving the W700 from Acer. Just what I wanted out of a Win tablet!
Whoooooooo!
This is basically exactly what I wanted.
Transformer form factor
Wacom Support.
This is going to be awesome. I just hope the processor is up to snuff.
Damn it. Love the design. Hate the Atom.
Also.. is that... is that a... capacitive Windows button?? Ugh.
Who knows what it is. It's still got the old windows logo so the hardware is definitely not final.
Also, I wonder when Nokia will show off their tablet design.
Good question actually. I am really interested what kind of design their tablet will be.

Not at Tablex.
Probably on one of the Nokia events this year (Nokia World was split up).
Most sites are reporting it's medfield, though I have seen a site say its Clover field.
It should be dual core.

I think Medfield is for phones or similar sized devices and Cloverfield is the next gen for netbooks and tablets.
Until we have full details for specs and pricing, it's difficult to speculate
Welcome to the asian tech sector. It's run by dirty old men.
Yes, these asian trade shows have never been modest in their objectification of women. But Asus is going out of their way to do it now through social media. It's pathetic.
hmmm ... interestingThe Atom solution is supposedly Clover Trail which is 1.8GHz dual core with hyperthreading and an SGX 544MP2 GPU. Should be one of the first Atoms with okay-ish performance
If Intel manages to make Windows drivers that actually work for the GPU that is...
I look forward to benchmarks
Hey look, Asus PR are pieces of shit. Guess they don't care about female customers.
I would love to see how well that responds to touch.
Agreed. LG is probably the worse offender though.

They probably mixed it up with the W700, which comes with a 1080p display.

Meanwhile on the gaming side: "Who got the best booth babes?"

Oh come on, that's fucking hilarious for an official PR Twitter account. I'm not condoning objectification of women (or men by companies like A&F / Hollister) but employment is an exchange relationship and if you opt for that job, you know what you're being hired for.
The over sexualisation of women is really disgusting, but I have to say I have become numb to it.
Of course they know what they're being hired for. The fact that Asus is promoting it directly is what's pathetic.
Nerd industries are the worst.

Pathetic, perhaps, but I believe justifiable given the circumstances.

You think Asus offers their booth babes' other "services" behind closed doors as well?

I'm still surprised how man over on the gaming side don't know about the Xbox Live integration and Xbox Companion app in Windows 8. Especially in the SmartGlass thread.

I am keeping tabs on what I like. The Transformer Book and Lenovo ideaPad Yoga call me. I can't with the Acer's anymore, maybe the W700 since it needs to be at least Ivy Bridge ULV.
I'm with giga, that's some low class shit from an official PR account.
If it was from a blog or some shit, I could understand them being immature manboys, but an official PR thing? Ridiculous.
Also, that 18" All-In-One with Android and W8 is so insane, it might just succeed.

Yeah, that's pretty embarrassing.
