The Asus VivoTab Note 8 is a Windows tablet with an 8 inch screen, an active digitizer, and support for digital pen input. Although the tablet has a list price of $330, you can almost always find it selling for less than that.
At the moment the best deal around is actually a bundle deal. Buy the VivoTab Note 8 and a McAfee security software package and you can score the VivoTab Note 8 for just $200.

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.
