hey guys this is Austin and steam use the video going over the new Windows 8 tablets so of course we've heard and seen a lot about Windows 8 for desktops laptops all that kind of stuff however now we're finally getting our first good look at what Windows 8 is going to look like on tablets to start with let's take a look at the assist tablet 600 and this is very similar to tablets we have today such as the transformer prime inside you're going to find an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor 2 gigabytes of RAM as well as a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1366 by 768 if these pics sound familiar that's because they are this is a very similar tablet to the assist transformer prime in fact it even has a very similar keyboard dock where you can take it and of course use it normal tablet mode but if you want to have an actual keyboard a little bit more battery life trackpad that kind of thing you can simply connected like that on the flip side we have the Acer Iconia w 700 now this is like very high-end Windows tablet so for starters it has an 11.6 inch display with full HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 so what interestingly the W 700 comes with a cradle so what you do is you can dock tab in there and adjust it to different viewing angles depending on how you want to use the tablet what really sets the W 700 apart of the specs inside you're going to find a full Intel Ivy Bridge CPU this is probably going to be a Core i5 or Core i7 just like you would find in an ultrabook like the MacBook Air on top of that it's also going to have three USB 3.0 ports HDMI out as well as a Thunderbolt port of course all this is not going to come cheap the W 700 will be on sale later on this year for priced at anywhere between 800 and $1000 most likely closer to that thousand dollar mark now of course you do need to keep in mind that this is basically a full-fledged laptop without the keyboard so you have a very high resolution display you have tons of power and you even have a thunderbolt port which is very very impressive in anything that's not you know a MacBook now one very important thing to note is that they're actually going to be two versions of Windows 8 tablets those going to be the Windows RT and there's going to be full Windows 8 now there are two main types of processors running these Windows 8 tablets there's going to be an ARM processor this is exactly what you're going to find in an iPhone and iPad and Android phone pretty much any of that kind of thing if it runs one of those processors it's going to be running Windows RT now on the other hand if it's going to be running a full laptop chip so for example like Core i5 or even an Intel Atom it's going to running the full normal version of windows 8 the biggest difference between the two is going to be application support so for example the assist tablet 600 will only be able to run apps that are specifically designed for Windows 8 on the other hand Windows 8 tablets such as the W 700 I should be able to run pretty much any app that you throw at it as it's basically a laptop inside while this is something to keep in mind it's actually not that big of a deal so of course any ad that's not going to be optimized for a tablet it's really not going to work well with touch so of course you're gonna have to hit on those all those little tiny buttons with your fingers I'm sure you can do it but it's just not going to be anywhere near as nice as an app that's actually designed for the Metro UI if you guys are interested more information on Windows 8 tablets I do have a hands on of an actual Windows 8 tablet from earlier this year shows you a little bit about how it's going to work with the Metro UI and touch screen and all that kind of stuff on top of that I just did a video showing the latest version of Windows 8 of course it's on a laptop but a lot of those things of course kinda work the exact same way on a tablet anyway guys if you enjoyed this video definitely sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos on Windows 8 tablets be sure to subscribe
