ASUS Transformer Book T100 Chi 10.1in. (32GB, Intel Atom, 1.46GHz, 2GB) Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop/Tablet – Aluminum Black – 90NB07H1-M00010 for sale online | eBay

A bit quirky, still pretty darn good!

First off, mine was SUPPOSED to be blue, as advertised; it was charcoal grey (no biggie, but…..description on sealed box wrong). First off, nice, secure packaging on mine. And for a “return” unit had NO problem registering it with the ASUS website for a full 1 year warranty!

SEPERATE charging for both the tablet and keyboard & only 1 charger supplied ! Once fully charged though and power settings adjusted (6 – 7 hours, as described was no problem), this little thing gets a LOT of battery usage for the buck! Not much by way of bloatware to uninstall; but cleaned up hard drive and defrag to create more space.

Tablet separates and attaches magnetically to keyboard with ease, and initial Bluetooth pairing set up is straight forward. Response on touch screen is average and not overly sensitive. The screen is also relatively free from glare, even outside, which is a nice plus.

Connectivity however is a little bit of a minus here. Absence of a full size USB port is a definite minus compared to its competition. One mini USB 2.0 port is purely for charging leaving only 1 genuine mini 2.0 port available. The other micro USB ports are not “standard” USB format, and it is virtually impossible to find, for example, flash drives or even cables for printers that have a USB male connector that will fit these particular type of USB female connections.

Response times with the 4GB RAM and the CPU are surprisingly fast, and on a DSL router, internet connectivity was just as fast as a desktop PC with a USB N-range wireless card attached for general surfing and downloading. Video streaming etc. was more of an issue however with frequent frame “stuttering”, even on high speed cable internet via wires router connections.

Physically, nice and light, but with a substantive feel to it; it doesn’t feel cheaply made – after all, it IS an ASUS – and after I purchased an after market tablet case/keyboard cover that allowed the tablet to sit upright so the whole unit could look like a notebook, collapse down to a tablet, and allow me to remove the tablet from the cover quickly, everything was complete!

Would I recommend it? Yes, with the caveat that it’s a shame about the lack of a full size USB port and you have to charge both the tablet and the keyboard separately (or buy another charger to charge them both simultaneously).Read full review
