This time, the editor evaluated a computer that uses Intel ® AToM ™ Asus VivoTab Smart ME400C, a Windows 8 all-purpose tablet of the processor, is equipped with Intel Atom Z2760, a new generation of Intel processors specially for tablet computers. Can this tablet meet our daily needs? Now let's have a brief understanding of this tablet computer.
First, let's understand the general configuration information of this tablet:
CPU: Intel Atom Z2760 dual core four thread with main frequency of 1.8GHz
System: Windows 8 Pro
Screen: 10.1 inch, 1366 * 768 resolution, IPS screen, Corning gorilla outer screen
Size: 263 * 171 * 9.7mm, bare weight 580g
RAM:2GB,ROM:64GB, It also supports external expansion.
appearance
Next, let's take a look at the appearance of this tablet:
The front of the screen is a clean glass panel with a Win8 logo on the bottom.
The top is a 200W front camera
A ASUS logo on the upper left corner of the screen.
On the top is a power key.
The top left side is the HDMI interface, and the bottom side is a reserved external TF card socket.
At the bottom left is a USB interface.
The right side is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and volume key, and there is also a microphone below.
The back design is also very simple. There is an ASUS logo in the center, and below are some Win 8 logo stickers.
There is an 800W camera and flash on the top.
There is a vertical horn on the far left.
basic operation
The overall appearance is roughly like this. Next are some tests for daily use:
The style of tiles is almost the same as that of WP mobile phones. Dynamic tiles can also be scaled and dragged arbitrarily.
In the application interface, as long as you use your finger to slide from top to bottom, you can quickly return to the Win 8 desktop.
In any interface, slide your finger from right to left to call up the menu keys, which are Search, Share, Start, Device and Settings from top to bottom.
In the settings, there are some simple settings of the Win 8 system. If you want to set the computer in detail... you must switch to the traditional desktop mode.
Swipe from left to right on any interface to switch your previous task window.
If you drag it from left to right, and then drag the task window back to the left, you can call up the multi task preview window.
Under any application or interface, drag the upper and lower screen edges to the center to call up the menu bar. The corresponding application and interface will have different menu bars.
Pull the icon down on the Win 8 desktop to select some application options, such as uninstalling and deleting desktop tiles. By the way, the icon in the red circle of the screen is the icon for returning to the traditional desktop.
The traditional desktop is the Win 7 desktop that we use every day... As we all know, I won't say much about it. Dragging a finger directly on the screen is the same as pressing the left button to drag the mouse.
If you hold your finger on the screen for a long time, a small box will appear.
When you release your finger, it is a right button effect.
However, the ASUS tablet makes people feel speechless. No matter what applications and interfaces are under the Windows 8 desktop, clicking the Home button will not return to the desktop.
Under the traditional desktop, you can call out the "Start" menu by pressing the Home button.
First of all, the ASUS tablet on the editor's hand was not delivered with a dedicated external keyboard, so the editor had to use the OTG function to connect the USB keyboard. Why is Xiaobian so persistent in connecting to the keyboard? It's very simple. Because Win 8 natively does not support the screenshot function, the editor needs to take screenshots on the system, but when there is no screenshot tool installed, you must connect an external keyboard, use the "Print Screen" on the keyboard to take screenshots, and then paste and save them in the drawing. If there is no external keyboard dedicated to this tablet, this tablet can be said to be difficult to use.
Audio visual test
This time, we will simply test three videos, two of which are 1080P videos and the other is 720P videos. Because this tablet is a computer, it can directly install a frame number test software: Fraps. I believe this software is no stranger to game players.
In video playing, besides choosing the player provided by the system, you can also choose to use the Win 8 player. In order to facilitate operation, the editor here uses the player provided by the system for testing.
The above section is a 1080P high-definition preview screenshot of Killer 5 in MP4 format. Thanks to Intel's powerful mobile chip Atom Z2760, the screen plays smoothly and can be played in full frames without any stuttering.
The above is a 1080P, MOV format, "Transformers 3" video screenshot, also perfect full frame playback.
When the editor was ready to test Iron Man in 720P and RMVB format, the system player could not play it because it could not support RMVB format But in fact, this is also expected. Everyone knows the Windows player.
In fact, with such good hardware, there is no problem in playing 1080P. As for the format supported by the player, you can solve the problem by downloading the universal decoding video player of Win 8.
Here are some test hardware screenshots of the system or application:
Win 8 comes with test scores.
3DReading graphics test score, the highest number of frames is 21, and the average number of frames is 17.
Daily use
For daily use, this tablet has a problem that needs attention. It is impossible to transfer files to each other through USB connection, because this is a computer, Win 8 Pro, not Win 8 RT. So when you need to transfer files to the tablet... you need to copy the files from your computer into your storage card, and then insert the storage card into the tablet through OTG to transfer the files to the tablet.
And there is also a very important problem... because there is no dedicated external keyboard, you can't select several folders exactly as you need with the mouse and keyboard in normal computer operations. If you want to select the files you need, you can only select a range of files roughly. After all the files are transferred to your computer, you can select the files you need
This simple full keyboard is the native keyboard of this Win 8 tablet. If you think you can select multiple files like a computer by pressing and holding "Ctrl", you are wrong... This keyboard does not have such "advanced" functions. However, the word association of the original Pinyin input is good, and typing the first letter of each word alone can associate the meaning required by the Xiaobian.
However, it is comforting to note that there are some common input methods on Win 8. After installing the input method, click the keyboard icon at the bottom right corner of the native keyboard to change the input method. And those third-party keyboards are much better than native keyboards.
If you don't have a dedicated external keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse kit, and you need to transfer files, like a small editor, you can only rely on the resolver to add a USB interface... When you plug in a mouse and keyboard, the Win 8 tablet is a good computer, and you can also solve the problem of not accurately selecting the files you need. Therefore, the matching keyboard is very important for the Win 8 tablet, and it should not even be used separately from the tablet.
summary
This ASUS tablet computer has a good appearance and good hardware configuration, and can meet the requirements when playing videos. However, because there is no matching keyboard on the small knitting hand, it is a bit cumbersome to use. If it can be used with a special keyboard, it will have a better user experience. Xiaobian also believes that the Win 8 tablet can have a better user experience only with a dedicated keyboard.
