If you want a tablet that's good enough to run Bioshock and offer you half a day of usage, then you may be interested in the ASUS device we're reviewing below. This is the ASUS Transformer Book T100TA model, a hybrid between a 10 inch tablet and a netbook...
fantastic battery, great speakers, no lag, good CPU for the money, runs Bioshock, bundled Office, good price, And the...
plastic case, no back camera, weak brightness, not many unique ASUS bundled apps, Windows 8.1 still not very appealing...

We generally don't have time to review lower-end products, but sometimes we see something at such an aggressive price we just have to take it for a spin. That pretty much describes our feelings about the ASUS Transformer Book T100, a 10-inch Windows table...
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...

Just a few years ago the idea of an x86 tablet that wouldn't burn a hole in your pocket seemed farfetched, as this particular segment was dominated by cheap and frugal ARM chips. A lot has changed over the past few months, thanks to new Intel Bay Trail an...
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 Atom gets serious. Built around the latest quad-core Bay Trail Intel Atom processor, the Asus Transformer Book T100 is "powerful enough to handle just about any productivity task," Laptop Magazine reports, and other reviewers unanimously concur. Some...

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...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 is the first of a new breed of hybrid tablets that combines the low-cost design of netbooks of the late 2000s with the modern performance and efficiency of tablets. Coming in at $399 with 64GB of storage (or $349 for the nea...

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...

I recently reviewed Microsoft's Surface 2 - a Windows RT tablet /laptop hybrid that is beautifully put together, but offers little in the way of usefulness for the £359 inc VAT purchase price. In many ways the Asus Transformer Book T100T is the counterpoi...
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...

Once upon a time, manufacturers thought that extremely affordable PCs called netbooks were a good idea. As it turns out, they were all kind of bad. Build quality was poor, but worst of all, they were ridiculously slow. Netbooks thankfully died a slow deat...

Asus is no stranger to small and cheap computing. Just six years ago it introduced the world to the very first netbook. That Linux-powered Asus Eee PC ran an Intel Celeron at just 700MHz, and it was touted by some as the future of computing.It has been a...

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...

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...

It's tough to sell an entry-level Windows PC these days. You're sandwiched between a couple of aggressive price points: the Nexus 7 at $229 and the iPad at $499. Traditionally, the PC you'd get between those price points would have mechanical storage, the...
