a lot of Windows 8 8 inch tablets look and feel the same here's one that's at least a little bit different I'm Dan Ackerman and this is the soos vo Tab 8 and we've looked at eight inch Windows 8 tablets from Dell from Lenovo from Acer they all generally have the same components inside some of the slightly better performance I'm a slightly better battery life some have more ports and connections they all cost around three or four hundred dollars in order to stand out from the crowd you've got to have something that nobody else has in the case of the vivo Tab 8 it does do one interesting thing it has a stylus built in a Wacom stylus and it's tucked right into this little slot right in the corner here and of course with the standard Wacom 1,024 pressure level stylus and it works with a variety of programs you do get one or two built in including Microsoft OneNote if you want other compatible software you're gonna have to go out and download that yourself otherwise this is a you know a standard fairly low resolution screen just like most of the other tablets we've seen Intel Atom processor two gigs of ram 64 gigs of storage so not as much you get an even a lower level budget laptop but when you have a small 8 inch device like this you're probably not gonna store that much on it if you do a lot of let's say watching videos are you if I'm just gonna stream them from Netflix or something like that obviously Kindle books also a good reason to use a smaller tablet those don't take up a lot of room and that's why you can get away or that smaller SSD on these tablets it's neither the lightest nor the heaviest of the Windows 8 8 inch tablets that we've reviewed recently right in the middle I do like that it has a fairly fingerprint-resistant matte finish on the back it's odd that the camera is over here in the center of the bonding rather than up in the upper left hand corner we usually find it so keep that in mind if you're gonna be taking a lot of photos with it and it's also slightly annoying to me that the windows key which is very important in these things it's it's a little physical button right over here that may be hard to find otherwise you can just kind of pull out from the corner and get to it right here from what they call the charms bar now in order to get this Wacom tablet you're gonna pay a little bit more comfortable Windows 8 tablet usually around $2.99 this guy is a little bit more it's 329 that's a pretty reasonable premium to pay if you're really gonna use that Wacom stylus because none of the other 8-inch Windows 8 tablets in this price range have that feature built-in I'm Dan Ackerman and that's the isuzu vivo Tab 8
