LAS VEGAS--Asus announced another addition to its Windows 8 tablet lineup. The 10-inch LED-backlit VivoTab Smart houses an Intel Atom Z2760 dual-core processor and sports a 1,366x768-pixel IPS display.

The Windows 8 tablet features 5-point multitouch technology and ships with the "TranSleeve" keyboard, which is technically an all-in-one cover, keyboard, and stand.
