    Asus X205T Tablet & Win 8.1 question

    I had to go through a Installation ID (about 200 numbers) and a Windows Activation process (more numbers!). Is the norm for Windows 8? Why?
    I have tablets and a desktop and never had to go through so many numbers and installations to get a device up and running.

    Asus has taken to calling the Transformer the most popular Android tablet on the market.

    Continuing my questions about the Asus tablet,
    I went to the control panel and tried to see how much "disk" space I had and there couldn't find a drive. Is this strictly a cloud machine, no hard drive space at all?
    Does all the saved data have to go to the Sd card?

    Continuing my questions about the Asus tablet,
    It seems that this machine is strictly a cloud machine, with absolutely no HD space? And all data has to be saved to the SD card/ or flash drive?

    Tablets don't have a regular hard drive. They have flash drives with usually 16 to 64gb space. You can use SD cards to save to or a USB cord to transfer data to an external drive or to a desktop.

    I answered tablet because your title for this thread stated tablet. And because you asked questions in another thread about getting a tablet. I thought you had bought a tablet. That is why we ask that you or anyone else asking questions to provide as much information as you can.

    It's a netbook, not a laptop. The hardware is very similar to a tablet. It also has flash memory instead of a normal hard drive.

    It definitely has Wifi. Not sure why it's not listed on the Asus site.
