Solid performance, long battery life, Runs traditional desktop apps, Screen offers good viewing angles, Inexpensive, includes keyboard dock, Almost no bloatware
Cramped, flimsy keyboard, Cheap build materials, We wish the screen were brighter
With cheap build quality and a mediocre display, the T100 is far from perfect. But thanks to some solid performance and generous pricing, it still offers incredible bang for your buck....
In the interest of full disclosure, I think I should point out that I already own a Nexus 7 and I use it on a daily basis. Furthermore the T100TA is not a review sample. I got it as a company bonus. Now that I've tried it out, I intend to keep...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 just looks like a netbook. Under the hood, a drastically enhanced Atom processor runs rings around its predecessor and provides plenty of power for real everyday productivity. Detach the display and you have a great 10-inch ...
Some design compromises, significant early teething pains due to bad firmware, finicky wireless
Perhaps it over-promised and under-delivered, and it certainly wasn't ready for prime time when it was released, but it's hard not to love the T100 for making possible what seemed tantalizingly-close for much too long: a true do-it-all device. Can it be u...

This is not an iPad killer, or even a rival to the Surface Pro 2. But at £349 it is a compelling deal. The Asus Transformer Book T100T is a compact device that offers true functionality and decent performance. And it is a truly portable office PC. Much mo...

The Asus Transformer T100 has three players in its story: Windows 8.1, Intel, and Asus. For Microsoft's Windows 8.1, the biggest competition comes not from Google or Apple, but from the hundreds of millions of PCs already running Windows 7, Vista, and XP...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-priced 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won’t love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it’s hard to beat.
Affordable cost, Include keyboard dock, Great battery life
Plastic casing is prone to scratches, Trackpad is stiff
Hey, we still can’t wrap our heads around the fact that the Asus Transformer Book T100 is priced at $349 for the base 32GB model – with the 64GB at an equally pleasing $399. On top of that, the cost includes the keyboard dock attachment, which is somet...

I hated netbooks. That might seem an odd way to launch the conclusion of a review, but I think I need to start there to give my fair opinion on the Transformer Book. From the first Eee PC, through NVIDIA's Ion, and right up through Clover ...
