The VivoPad Note 8 has a Wacom digitizer (usually a pro), but there seem to be a ton of users reporting problems with it. Google it…
I’m leaning towards getting a Dell Venue 8 Pro; seems to have a better screen, better build quality, more moderate stylus, and (micro) HDMI out.
Have you tried one of these 8 inch Windows tablets?
I have not, they are priced pretty affordably, but I wonder how much work I could really get done on a screen that small. The Dell seems like a good choice, although it’s annoying you have to buy the pen separately.
