Question 1

does this tablet come with windows 8, windows rt or windows 8.1? If it comes with Windows 8 is it eligible for a free upgrade?

Accepted Answer

It came with Win 8 not RT (one of the main reasons I bought it over the similarly price Surface RT Tab. And I'm not positive but pretty sure it came with a free 8.1 upgrade as only 8.0 was available when purchased.

Question 2

Can I later purchase a keyboard to attach to this? Thank you for your time.

Accepted Answer

The ASUS keyboard that they make for this is bluetooth and can be purchased separately. I recommend it as it has a cover/stand for the tablet, and the keyboard itself includes a trackpad. When not in use, the cover and keyboard and tablet close up together and make it as easy to carry as a light laptop. It may be high price though, so you can use any other bluetooth keyboard that you like.

Question 3

Can we install Microsoft Office 2010 Professional on this machine?

Accepted Answer

You can install any Windows program on this tablet, this has the full version of Windows. I cannot tell you how well it will run though.

Question 4

Can I get an accurate pen input in this thing for drawing floorplans? Can I use my Samsung Note pen, or any other accurate pen input. I don't mean those rubber dollar store ones.

Accepted Answer

Not sure if the pen from your galaxy note will work but i don't think that the vivotab has that technology built in. Those kinds of pens are usually specific to their device. I have an Galaxy S3 and I tried the pen from a galaxy note from a friend and it doesn't work.
