Asus Transformer Book T100 Review, Price: Windows Convertible With Intel Bay Trail Quad-Core Processor A Budget Friendly 2-in-1 For $350; Now In The Philippines

Asus Transformer Book T100 review, specs: The Windows convertible Asus Transformer Book T100 is a Bay Trail-powered machine with a 10-inch display and has been considered one of the best value 2-in-1 in the market for quite some time. The unit is available stateside for $350 and is also now available in the Philippines.

The availability of the Asus Transformer Book T100 in the country shows that the electronics maker is committed in continually making in roads in emerging markets.

The no-frills machine bears a decent design that definitely categories it as “not premium,” but it’s a unit that definitely delivers on sturdiness of built and reliability of performance.

In terms of spec details, Phone Arena shows that the Asus Transformer Book T100 has a 10.1-inch HD display with IPS and multi-touch capabilities, a 1.2MP camera, and a full version of the Windows 8.1 OS. It also offers full version of the MS Home Office and Student 2013, several hundred dollar value in its own right. The T100 can last up to 10 hours on a single charge, giving it a Haswell-like power in terms of battery life.

LaptopMag says that the Transformer Book T100 can handle just about any productivity task, thanks to its solid Bay Trail performance. But CNET observes that one downside for the machine is its cramped keyboard and that it’s not as fast as zipper, larger, and also pricier Windows devices.

On many accounts, the Asus Transformer Book T100 is not exceptional. It does’t bear a premium feel or a Retina-like display, but for a price of $349.99, one of the most affordable for a hybrid tablet laptop, it’s a no-frills machine that delivers in features and functionality.

The Book T100 is a Windows tablet-laptop hybrid that wins on value. Trusted Reviews wrote that, “If a tablet-laptop Windows 8 hybrid is what you’re after, you can’t do any better at the price.”

The T100 is available in red, white, and gray. Storage size for the unit includes a 64 GB eMMC internal memory, external storage via microSD Card up to 64GB and 500GB on-dock keyboard storage. It has Micro SD and Micro HDMI support.
