There are several ways to root your Vivo Pad Air, and you can also do it without a PC. Common methods are via KingRoot, KingoRoot, Magisk, SuperSU, and the traditional method using a PC.
The Vivo Pad Air is a very popular choice since it uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SOC and ships with a good quality 144Hz 10-bit LCD Panel, and it’s an excellent choice for many tablet workflows. Rooting it will allow you to take control of its hardware and utilize it to its maximum potential. You get administrator or superuser privileges after rooting, and it removes the factory or manufacturer limitations.

There are many advantages to rooting. If your device has good community support and the ability to unlock your boot loader, you can install a Custom ROM of your choice. You can install Android versions that are well beyond the support of the OEM. You can effectively eliminate useless factory bloatware and also install third-party custom apps that tweak hardware settings. There are many benefits to the backup feature, too. You can boost battery life, completely customize the aesthetics with modules and custom widgets, overclock performance, and more.
Rooting a device comes with its own set of cons. First, your device will no longer be under the manufacturer’s warranty. In case of any unintentional damage, you can’t visit a service center and claim a warranty for free repairs or service. Since manufacturers only update unrooted devices officially, you won’t get any more official firmware updates from your OEM. Rooting still has the risk of soft or hard bricking your device. Rooting also comes at a severe security compromise, and you may lose access to banking apps.
