The Taiwanese manufacturer of computer hardware decided to show the whole world that Windows on mobile devices is alive. There is no other way to explain the release of the new ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED, which is based on Intel Pentium Silver. The emphasis in the tablet is on maximum productivity and comfort in work. The price of the gadget is appropriate. Although, among analogues on the Windows platform, it is not so big.
Tablet ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED on Intel Pentium Silver
It cannot be said that the Pentium Silver platform has high performance. This is an analogue of Intel Atom with increased crystal frequencies. We could have already installed a Pentium Gold processor. A stripped-down version of the Intel Core i3 would definitely add power to the entire system. But there are some nuances here. For example, the Gold series is very voracious in terms of nutrition. Therefore, the Silver model looks like a more economical solution in this matter.
The chip of the ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate tablet is an OLED display. An honest 13-inch matrix with FullHD resolution is installed. The display runs at 60Hz and supports 99.9% DCI-P3 (HDR) color gamut. And this is the manufacturer's move to the design segment. A pleasant moment - the manufacturer was not greedy for technology. This is a truly advanced tablet for professionals in any field of activity.

ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED review
The manufacturer announced support for the ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED stylus tablet. ASUS Pen 2.0 is used. Practical. Supplied with interchangeable nozzles of different hardness. Which is convenient. For example, for drawing by different people, when sharing a tablet.
The brightness of the display is controlled by PWM. It doesn't work as well as it should. When the screen brightness is less than 50%, flickering is noticeable. Need to get used to it. Pleased with the presence of UEFI and proprietary support from the ASUS brand. You can not worry about the next 3-5 years that the ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED tablet will remain without software updates. Includes protective case and wireless keyboard. Operating system Windows 11 license is also present. In fact, it is already a laptop.
