A 1366x768 display doesn't cut it anymore. Glossy design is a massive fingerprint magnet. In its laptop form
Abstract: Asus Transformer was one of the first Tegra 2 devices on the market and one of the first, right after Motorola Xoom, to get the Android 3.0, also known as Honeycomb...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Asus Transformer Book T100. This is an affordable 10.1″ Windows 8.1 convertible tablet with included keyboard dock. The T100 is $399 for the 64 gig model and it uses the new Intel Atom Bay Trail quad core 1.33GHz CPU with Intel HD gr...
Base/tablet charge seperately, MicroUSB ports, Skimps on storage, Misses out on Cherry Trail
Strong build quality, an impressive display and solid battery life overcome a fiddly two-part charging mechanism and plethora of micro-USB ports. The Chi 100 isn't quite a budget device, but it's well worth the extra money....
Abstract: This is likely a result of the relatively average hardware within. The IPS display has a resolution of just 1366 x 768, which sounds lacking compared to the crisp HD of competing PCs but looks fine in operation. The hinge keeping this in place is extremel...

For a sub-$400 price, the Asus Transformer Book T100TA is a fully functional Windows 8.1 hybrid tablet, and the natural successor to the netbook ideal from a few years ago. It gives you a bright, usable PC an affordable price. Plus it avoids all of the c...
While Microsoft is still trying to convince everyone that Windows RT devices are the spiritual successors to the netbook, Intel has made its feelings clear – ARM isn't welcome to a piece of the Windows action. The new Atom platform delivers a dramatic...
Comes with the keyboard; Screen is nice, clear, and responsive for the price; Charges on microUSB and not some proprietary standard; Keyboard dock includes a USB 3.0 port; Great battery life;
Keyboard isn't fantastic, and reminds us of early netbook keyboards; Build material of the tablet is plastic, and very fingerprint-showing plastic at that; Only one USB port; No SD card slot in the dock;
It's not the best laptop in the world, but for $599, the Asus T100 packs in a lot of value, reviving the netbook market with a 10 inch tablet-laptop hybrid that packs in battery life, a quad-core processor, and plenty of room to move.You make some sacrifi...

The greedy pricing on the T100 is a genuine pity, because otherwise I really rather like the T100 as a device. It's unashamedly a “cheap” PC, but it doesn't have too many of the drawbacks of lower priced models to deal with. The battery life is great. Inc...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-price 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....
