Input:
Question: I haven't been able to find any mention of battery life when the tablet is off the docking station.  Does anyone know how long the battery will last?
Document: I just learned that i have to return this beautiful machine after only two days of enjoying it. I have a dead screen which will only work in windows mode if in the docking station and does not work in android mode at all. I tried to find a solution in the paper documentation as well as in the online manual. No dice. A phone call to tech assistance lead to no assistance whatsoever. Mail it in for service or return it to the store.
Got this computer for my husband's Christmas present. He loves the portability and the ease of switching from an Android tablet and Windows 8. Battery life is alright.He says that it does exactly as promised. Can't ask for much more than that.
Okay, the mfg. didn't ship any instructions (there is a video online I would suggest you watch before setup) I'm a PC tech and still managed to have a little frustration during setup. There is very limited troubleshooting information online on the P1801. I was able to get the PC Dock working with Windows 8, but never got the tablet to boot up. It's possible it could be a matter of a bad power adapter and the thing is just zero battery or perhaps something bigger.
Hogwash! This device works exactly as advertised, and I'm still amazed that Asus was even able to pull it off! Every aspect of the P1801 works flawlessly. Android is Android with all of its shortcomings and Windows 8 is just as you'd expect. Speed isn't an issue while running either OS and I am really impressed by just how well the Windows 8 side works in tablet mode once it's separated from the base station.
So far it has not been a good experience with this novel All-in-One. There is a lack of technical support from ASUS for this unit as well as online help for specific problems. The unit is experiencing ongoing problems keeping the tablet connected to the base station when it is undocked. It constantly loses the connection and will not reconnect until it is placed back in the dock. I cannot find any online help guides nor has ASUS been responsive to email inquiries.
In the end I decided to go with the ASUS and I'm so glad I did! Set up was easy - there were updates to deal with, but that was expected. The touch screen is very accurate. Beautiful display. Easy switch between modes. I used Windows 8.1 remotely, and didn't experience lag issues. I was in the room next to the docking station, so maybe the close distance helped. I've read complaints about the mouse, but I didn't have any problem with it.
Love the tablet in android mode but I having a hard time getting a decent picture when it's in the PC mode and I can't find any drivers to fix the problem.
Yes, there are some apps that do not load properly because their tablet interface, but that is the apps fault not the fault of the device. When an app is designed for tablets they look and perform great. It is fast and fun. The weight of the tablet does not hurt its usability. I would not hold this in my hands for long periods of time, but the kickstand makes it easy to use on tables and desks.
this it a great system its like a computer but with a 2.5x the size of and ipad tablet. I added 64gb micro stick to it as well for more space for the android part of it. you can also access the computer part of it from anywhere in the house as long as its on the same network. haven't tried or figured out if it can do the same thing outside the network yet but hopefully Ill get around to it.
The blue button that serves as the mode switcher no longer works to switch back to Windows when the tablet is not docked. As long as it's docked the mode switch button works flawlessly, but when I remove it from the dock and try to access Windows from Android I get a "failed to connect" error message. If I manually click on the link above that shows my Splashtop connection it will connect to Windows.
Answer: I get a couple of hours of messing around with surfing, email, etc....not very demanding stuff. I'm never far from an outlet tho, since this is not the sort of tablet you will take camping or something. It comes with a cord so you can plug it in while using it as a tablet; it does not have to be on the dock to charge. I've had it since the summer, and still love it.
