The tablet weighs just 1.19 pounds, and measures 10.35 by 6.73 by 0.33 inches.

The dock functions as a compact, cohesive package that’s a breeze to maneuver into and out of a bag and to tote through TSA checkpoints. The dock provides multiple benefits: You get the flexibility of having a keyboard that you can detach at will the dock adds only a modest amount of weight (1.3 pounds) to the device and you’ll get an extra battery and USB port in the bargain. That clamshell-style dock approach has proved to be a winner in the Transformer Pad tablets released over the past year and a half. The VivoTab reflects the evolution of the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700, right down to its keyboard dock, which turns the tablet into a clamshell-style mini-laptop. The clamshell-style keyboard dock is integral to the VivoTab’s mojo. But as a tablet-one of the first running Windows RT to reach my desk-it falls short of its Apple iPad and Google Android competition. The VivoTab RT ($599 for a 32GB unit bundled with a keyboard dock $699 for a 64GB model, also with a dock) handles many tasks well. The company already has shown a talent for innovative design with its Transformer Pad series of Android tablets. Asus comes to the Windows tablet party with a strong tablet pedigree, which is just one of many reasons I looked forward to seeing the VivoTab RT.
