performance
The Vivo Tab RT is relatively unresponsive to swipe input , whether on screen or using the built - in trackpad on the Mobile Dock . The trackpad was sometimes delicate , but when it did work it is consistent . Hopefully Asus can fix the occasional hiccups with a software update .

That said , the use of the Mobile Dock should extend battery life of the Vivo Tab RT to about 15 hours .
The Asus Vivo Tab RT certainly scores well on battery life , innovation, and portability . Availability , on the other hand , is a mixed bag . It has Office RT , a must - have programs for workers and students , but the 3,000 selected from various app store apps ( Windows Store, ASUS @ Vibe , and Xbox Games ) is the paltry compared to the hundreds of thousands of apps in the iTunes Store , thousands of Google Play , and millions of apps for Windows 7 and 8 . Until actually getting Windows Store going , you'll still find a better selection of apps on an iPad or Android tablet . That said , what you need is an actual keyboard , impressive battery life , Microsoft Office , and the Web , Asus Vivo Tab RT is an intriguing choice .
