Just My Type: Find the Device that Fits Your Life

None of us is a one-dimensional cutout. We work, we play, we travel, we have a family, hobbies and goals. We travel to new places, meet new people, find new jobs, and pick up new interests. For some of us, nothing is more important than spending time with the family; for others, adventure comes first.
Meanwhile, technology is blurring the lines between laptop, tablet, and desktop, making it that much easier to find a device that fits your life. Whatever inspires you, there’s something out there that can turn that inspiration into reality.
These empowering devices all have something in common, and it’s something you’ll probably never see: a powerful Intel processor. Intel’s leading-edge technology lets you run the apps, play the games, and do the work you want to do without interruption. And because that technology prioritizes power-efficiency, you’ll be able to work, play, and communicate for hours.
Here’s a helpful guide to the many portable devices that Intel powers, broken down into four categories keyed to your needs: Smaller, lightweight devices; devices that shine in entertaining the family; no-compromise 2 in 1 devices that combine the best features of tablets and laptops; and expansive yet portable All-in-One units.

Grab ‘n Go: Portable Gadgets fit for the Busy Traveler

You’re on the move and rely on your device for a host of practical purposes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t carve out a bit of fun time, too. Delight yourself with a digital doodle, read a chapter of that eBook, or play a game. These tablets are so light you’ll barely notice that you’ve got one of them tucked in your purse or pocket. And don’t worry about running out of juice: the Intel processors on these tablets sip power slowly, so you might not have to slow down to look for a place to plug in. What’s more, the power of Intel Inside® gives these devices advanced capabilities – like super-smooth full-quality video and blazing fast performance – that belie their small size.
Here are the Intel-powered tablet devices that fit into your active lifestyle:

Asus VivoTab™ Note 8


• The Asus VivoTab^™ Note 8 weighs in at less than one pound and sells for $299. Its 8-inch touchscreen teams up with a Wacom stylus to help you sketch out detailed drawings of your surroundings, sketch your route out on a map, or save a handwritten note. The Asus VivoTab runs Windows 8.1 on a quad-core Intel® Atom™ processor, so it brings plenty of power packed into its very slim profile.

HP 7


• The HP 7” Tablet runs on Jelly Bean, a fresh version of the user-friendly Android operating system that gives you access to the thousands of apps available in the Google Play app store, including games, productivity tools, and photography aids. This well-built little tablet weighs in at just over 13 ounces, so it’s always ready to slip into a bag and go. You can buy it for $99.

Dell Venue 7


• The Dell Venue 7 is just 0.5 mm thick and feather light. Lay it on your lap and relax with your favorite Android games (it too runs on Jelly Bean), or drop it in your bag and get going.
