Asus VivoTab TF810C vs Lenovo ThinkPad Helix vs Microsoft Surface Pro 2:Hot cake is............................

Asus VivoTab TF810C                                                                                                                           The Asus VivoTab TF810C is yet another Windows 8 Atom tablet with transformer styling. Windows 8 operating system comes alive with the people, apps, and sites that matter to you most. The information you care about flows effortlessly to you through live tiles and timely notifications
The Asus VivoTab 810 and its Intel Atom CPU is a great choice for anyone who wants a lightweight Windows 8-based tablet with long battery life. But it's a classy, high end model with an 11.6" IPS+ display with 1366 x 768 resolution and 178 degrees viewing angle, multi-touch display
Ultra-slim and light (0.1" thin and 1.5lbs light) with metallic finish design which offers an array of viewing angles. This makes it ideal for watching movies or playing games. Wacom digitizer with full size pen and less ubiquitous features like GPS and NFC. The Wacom dual digitizer allows a user to use either a pen or their finger on the screen of the tablet. It has a mostly metal back, a very nice optional keyboard dock with battery and a price tag that will likely put it out of reach for many shoppers. It's an 11.6in model that can be used for basic Web browsing and multimedia consumption, and it even ships with a dock and a stylus so that it can be used for comfortable note-taking and other office tasks. Because it features Windows 8 (32-bit), it can also run much of the same software that's already in use on your main laptop and desktop computers, albeit without as much processing power, so you can basically think of this device as being a modern day netbook with a flashy touchscreen. The ASUS 64 GB tablet offers adequate internal storage for holding a multitude of files including pictures, movies, and games. The ASUS tablet also comes with an integrated 8 MP camera, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, and large aperture design to clearly capture every moment Bluetooth 4.0, and the option to add an external keyboard as needed. Asus says the VivoTab TF810C will last for up to 19 hours.

Aiding performance is an SSD of up to 256GB so its performance is top-notch. You’ll be able to choose between Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro.The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix will be available in an array of spec configurations, but the one we saw  demonstrated was a mid-range example, with a Core i5 processor. Core i7 options will also be available. The ThinkPad Helix uses current Ivy Bridge-generation CULV Intel chips, backed-up by 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The screen and base are each under 2.0 pounds, but that's on the hefty side for an 11.6-inch system. That said, it's 20mm thin, qualifying for ultrabook status, and can run processors up to Intel's current-gen Core i7.Travel-friendly features include 3G/4G antenna options, NFC chip, and a spill-resistant keyboard.The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix feels like a hybrid roadwarrior. It's reasonably light, especially in its class, offers great build quality and careful attention to detail in its construction. It may not be a beauty, but it's one of the better full Windows 8 hybrid designs out there.                                                                                                                         Performance and battery life
A 1.8 GHz processor and 4GB of RAM may seem small on paper, but in practice the ThinkPad Helix is a surprisingly capable machine. Both the Windows 8 tiled interface and desktop ran smoothly on our review unit.
Browsing in either Chrome or Internet Explorer, we could get a dozen tabs going before performance started to chug. This is with the tablet docked in its helpful stand, which provides extra cooling and allows the processor to overclock a little.
The performance enhancement is noticeable, and the fans generate minimal noise. This is by no means a gaming machine, but we were able to play some Half Life 2: Episode 2 with an acceptable framerate.
The stand also provides additional battery life. With its help, we generally got 7 to 8 hours of web surfing and word processing. As just a tablet, the Helix got between 5 and 6 hours. That's not bad at all, certainly better than a Surface Pro, but one can't help but think of what Haswell could've done for this machine.
Price;$1,499                                                                                                                                               VS                                                                                                                                                         Microsoft Surface Pro 2                                                                                                                               The Surface Pro 2's display may not have received an upgrade, but then it didn't need one. It's still a fine IPS panel that helps bring Windows 8.1's colorful and vibrant nature to life. The tablet itself is easier to use thanks to improved keyboard covers - even the Touch Cover 2 will prove more than adequate for most this time around.The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is a faster, longer-battery-life version of the original model, upgraded with a current-gen Haswell processor. The keyboard cover is also improved with backlit keys, and is among the best tablet accessories ever devised.The Surface Pro 2 is a very tough product to judge, which is what makes it interesting. The good news is Microsoft has sorted out the most serious issue with the first version: the battery life. At around eight hours, the Surface Pro 2 mixes it with the Ultrabooks like the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus and Sony VAIO Pro 13, even if it still falls a little short of 'tablet class' battery life.
But, The Surface Pro 2 remains stubbornly thick and heavy compared with some sleeker competitors. The base 64GB version may leave you starved for storage, and the keyboard cover, practically required, should be included instead of sold separately.
The bottom line: Microsoft's subtly updated Windows 8.1 tablet feels more like Surface Pro 1.5 -- improved battery life and better accessories make it a worthwhile (albeit pricey) laptop replacement, but it's still not an iPad-level category killer.                                                                                                                             Specifications
