There are plenty of Windows 8 tablets in the market, but many consumers have been looking for a long time for an 8-inch Windows 8 tablet by Asus. Now, according to a fresh leak, it seems that Asus is preparing to launch the VivoTab Note 8

ASUS is one of my favorite companies and I have been always on the lookout for a reliable 8 inch Windows 8 tablet from them. But, alas, at the moment, there’s isn’t one available to buy. However, according to a new leak, a new 8 inch tablet, called the ASUS VivoTab Note 8 could be launched. ASUS has published the user manual of the ASUS VivoTab Note 8 tablet which clearly shows that this is going to be an 8 inch Windows 8 tablet. At the moment, we don’t know when this tablet could get launched, but my guess is that Asus will release it at the Mobile World Congress.

Tech specs of ASUS VivoTab Note 8 tablet

Here are the main tech specs that it could come with:

Windows 8.1
1.33 GHz Intel Atom Z3740 quad-core CPU
2 GB of RAM
1,280 x 800 touchscreen
Wacom Digitizer support +have stylus support

Asus’ 8inch Windows 8 tablet VivoTab Note 8 is expected to get launched in two size: 32 GB and 64 GB, with the cheapest one being offered for $299. If the utablet really maintains this price, then it will become one of the best Windows 8.1 tablets to get under $400, along with the Dell Venue 8 Pro, Toshiba Encore and the Lenovo Miix 2.
