Even if you find an Asus EA800, you will have to service it to replace the battery. Just FYI. I kinda regret telling you about this ancient device...

I still think Dell Venue 8 Pro is your device.

 

Ha! yeah I kind of regret you telling me too, its like I can't let it go. But I will seeing that its basically extinct.
