Reading around this, it looks like you need to set the tablet to "Best Performance" - when you disconnect power, it defaults to power saving and the (already-poor) CPU ramps down. Set to best performance and things improve. No idea what impact this will have on battery though. Maybe a Surface will be safer. :)

Good review Chris. This just demostrates how rubbish Microsofts policy of not allowing older more powerful hardware, to be updated to the latest Windows, yet companies are selling hardware that can hardly perform even basic tasks. Obviously Windows is a bit heavy, since Chromebooks are better with similar specs. This is not even worth half it's price with that performance. I wonder if there are any software solutions to improve the drivers, because you cannot upgrade the hardware.

Core i3 (ADL-M/i3-1210U) would be too expensive unfortunately. Remember, they're not just buying the chip, but need to source LPDDR5 ram, Wi-Fi 6E module, compatible board which supports the integrated TB4, and put a higher TDP chip (9W vs Pentium's 5W) in a slim body, requiring more powerful active cooling in the same confined space, needing another custom-order assembly piece. The End-product would cost $1000 at the minimum which Asus would be better off labeling as "ZenBook Slate" than an affordable VivoBook. AMD's tablet APUs (Ryzen Dragon Crest) won't arrive until mid 2022, but Ryzen 3 probably will be cheaper and run cooler than i3, better for the next VivoBook Slate 13.
