  For some reason the 32GB version will ship but the 64GB version won't.

  If you dont mind Android over Windows (all good for web browsing and basic apps), then the LG V500 is a good option:

  For $298 you get:
  - larger 8.3" screen
  - Full HD 1920x1080 resolution
  - faster 1.7 Ghz Snapdragon 600 CPU
  - 2 year warranty from JB HiFi (as advised by the sales reps - its a stat consumer rights warranty, but JB make it easy)

    not sure if the CPU is faster - ones made for android / mobile
    while the windows one is made to run full windows

    selling point for the vivonote 8 is the stylus - and also full windows.. not that full windows app will be good on a small screen

      Yep, you can't say higher clock speed is faster. It depends a lot on the microarch and arch. 1.7 GHz Krait (ARM) is very different from 1.33 GHz Bay Trail (x86), and not necessarily better.

      Ideally, there'd be a benchmark, but it's a real pain in the arse finding cross-architecture benchmarks. They're probably reasonably close judging by the previous generation (I can't find anything newer right now). Bay Trail is a newer microarch than Clover Trail; Qualcomm is still using Krait but there's been incremental improvements there as well.

      End of the day, whether you want a full Windows environment with all associated programs makes a bigger difference than the SoC.

  what about the charger.will it be the 2 prong one which operates on 110 v ac. i am looking to buy a cordless blower from amazon. how does this work in australia.

    It will be 2 prong but most chargers are autovoltage. I am 99.9% sure it would take 110-240v. The blower on the other hand would probably need a transformer
