1. Does this tablet have a built-in microphone or do you have to purchase an external mic? 2. Does it have a keyboard dock you can buy seperately?

I do not know about the mic but it probably does. You can purchase a separate docking station which has two additional usb ports, a network port and I believe a hdmi port(it is at my office so I can't verify hdmi) Thus you can easily plug usb keyboard and mice to the tablet.

Yes you can speak to it and it will type it for you. You may have to download a free app to do it, but there are numerous free awesome ones. My favorite part about this tablet though that I should have mentioned in my review is that unlike a smartphone and like a computer it has a regular USB port for other keyboards and MICS, though there is a mini one already inside it. I haven't tested it yet to see how clearly it translates though. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of Ghost Writer but thats one option available through downloadable software or through an app.

Seems a ridiculously high price for the dock and keyboard not be be included, if it was I would have bought it but the current spec says optional extra which means who knows how much more for the keyboard and dock....how disappointing....can't even find any link for the keyboard and dock at the moment to find out how much more they want for those.Also, am bemused as to the product description stating it has full pc capabilities offering all the features of a laptop - if that was the case then the dock and keyboard need to be included so it is a package otherwise it becomes nothing more than a higher spec tablet because the keyboard is only an optional extra!!!

Well the tablet comes apart, the Keyboard dock houses all the PC (windows 8) parts. When the tablet is connected to the keyboard dock the screen on the tablet just acts as a monitor for the windows 8 dock. This dock can also be separately connected to a monitor with the display port or mini hdmi port and then used as a windows 8 pc while the tablet can still be used separately as an Android tablet. Hope that helped

It has a full size USB port on the keyboard dock and a mini-USB on the tablet itself. I use the two simultaneously all the time.

Yes it has a microphone and works with mic type apps. But overall I wouldn't recommend it depending on ur use for it. I'd say this is more useful as a gaming type of tablet, but the battery life isn't good at all, but has AT&T built in and that is somewhat useful. The way the screen is made, not many apps are made for it but it does play some classic psx games. If you want it for business type of use, I wouldn't recommend it but for the price it's something that would be great for a teen.

I have not been able to find the keyboard dock or any other dock for this tablet since Asus discontinued this model of tablet. The other docks will not work on this tablet since the connections are proprietary. However Amazon sells a nice cover/stand for this model that I use with Microsoft's Bluetooth mobile keyboard (which Amazon also has), and I find that combo works really well.

It comes with a USB keyboard in the carry case. The keyboard plugs into the full sized USB port on the tablet. There is also a micro USB port as well for transferring files, ebooks, apps, etc. Both ports can be used as desired.

Yes and as the other person said, it works well. I've had this tablet for over 2 yrs now. The only issue I've had was my fault...I blew the speaker watching drag race videos at top volume. I just bought an external speaker & plugged it in.

Some these tablets come with a keyboard. Menards sold this type last xmas for $88. Also this tablet has a keyboard inside of it. You click the screen and it appears. Also you can always ask places like Best Buy for different options and what may be compatiable with this computer. But when I looked into this last year, it was cheaper to buy the tablet that already came with the external keyboard. Hope that helps and have a Happy Holidays.

Tt comes with a USB but you may need to buy a micro adapter depending on your tablets' port.

The tablet has ports for headphones, microSD and mini hdmi. The optional docking station /keyboard has ports for usb drives and SD card. Good luck.

It comes with a Mic. You can plug in two mics and an external auxiliary input.

Yes you can use an external keyboard if it has a USB connection. There are 2 micro USB ports on the tablet you can use so you just need: 1x USB keyboard 1x USB A to USB A type adapter (Links Keyboard USB cable to micro USB cable) 3: Standard Micro USB cable (Connect to tablet) The USB-A type feed through adapter and micro USB cable are both cheap so just pick any USB keyboard you like.

I talked to a guy at MacMall and he told me that it included the dock and keyboard, but it was $1,500+. I emailed Amazon last night with the same question. I'll update my post it I hear anything from them.***Amazon customer service says they don't know either. They told me I could order and send it back if it's not what I wanted.***
