chromebooks have internet based operating systems

you cannot download and install desktop software, only software you can use are browser addons

Product Alert:IPS (In-Plane-Switching) is a new technology for LCD displays that offers users wider viewing angles and bolder colors by allowing more light to pass through the panel. As a result, IPS panels can exhibit a slight glow around the edges and corners (also known as light bleed), which is entirely normal.

That looks fine Sweep...you would need to learn Windows 8 though...it's a bit different than the Win95 that you're currently on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too many hardware issues, <nobr>May 25, 2013</nobr>

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ASUS VivoTab RT TF600T-B1-GR 10.1-Inch 32 GB Tablet (Gray) (Personal Computers)
UPDATE: changed my review to one star. I got another VivoTab RT, same problem. Turns out that if there is any kind of case that has a tiny magnet that activates the wake/sleep feature there are all kinds of problems. A quick Google search backs this up. ASUS customer relations have tried to be very helpful but in the end could only advise not to use a case that does auto wake/sleep. Why have that capability if it makes the tablet unstable? The final straw was a stuck pixel. I have FIVE other tablets from various vendors. I haven't had crashes or stuck pixels on any of them, although my nexus 7 coincidentally by ASUS also has quality issues. Another problem area is auto brightness. While it works well on all of my non ASUS tablets it is jarring on ASUS tablets and has to be disabled.

There are just too many issues with this tablet to justify keeping it. I'll be significantly out of pocket with the accessories I have purchased that can't be returned.

Having a case cause crashes is completely unacceptable. This device should never have been put on the market. It's not like this is a cheap tablet, such low quality is inexcusable.

That said, top marks for effort for the ASUS rep who has tried to help out.

Reluctantly, I'll be switching to a Microsoft Surface RT.

ORIGINAL REVIEW

I'm giving this a 2 star review purely due to device quality, not functionality. I am returning this device, haven't even waited for the refund before purchasing another. I ordered another without much hesitation. So what's wrong with the device and why did I still order another one? Keep reading to the end for why I would give it a five star review if not for the hardware problem.

I firmly believe that the problems I encountered are due to faulty hardware and not due to Windows RT.

Basically, when I don't have a micro sd inserted the device is rock solid. When I have a micro sd installed and open the case to wake up the device I get frequent device restarts and memory dumps. No micro sd card inserted no problem. I'll admit that after having 2 poor quality nexus 7 tablets I'm very wary of asus QC but the vivo tab RT will be awesome if the replacement doesn't have the sd card issue.

Even with random crashes resulting in device reboots I have still not used my android tablet or iPad 3 since getting this. To my surprise I really like Windows RT. I had bought this purely so I could do some app development and test on a tablet, not to replace my iPad but found the device a joy to use.

The start screen; The live tiles are awesome. I love the live widgets on android and this is more of the same. It is very easy to navigate, have the information that I need at my fingertips and be productive quickly.

Having office including onenote on a device with awesome battery life. As much as I like evernote and can make do with other word processors there's nothing quite like having office and onenote wherever I go.

I never thought I would ever say this but having Internet Explorer is great compared to the browsers on android and IOS. PArtly because RT is a more controlled platform and I don't have the security concerns that I would otherwise have using IE on the desktop, which I simply don't do. That said, on Windows RT browsing the web is awesome, things just work.

The VivoTab RT itself has a decent screen, just be sure to turn off auto brightness, just as with the Nexus 7 the auto brightness on this device is jarring, much worse than non asus devices I have used. The tablet is light weight and the battery life is good. Add to that a micro sd slot (assuming on the replacement it doesn't crash my device when used) and the micro hdmi this device has decent IO capabilities. Add to that the keyboard dock and you have an awesome machine.

The device itself is lighter than the Microsoft Surface and I prefer how it feels in the hand. The dock was really the killer feature when compared to the Surface. Having a real keyboard and 14+ hours battery life means that this device is so much more than a tablet.

I did install a couple of games on the tablet, the graphics are amazing, but performance takes a hit due to the relatively low spec of the device compared to a Surface Pro or traditional laptop or desktop running Windows 8.

I look forward to writing a five star review should the replacement not have any hardware problems.
