![]() You’ll notice these issues especially if you deal with texts and fonts, like I do most of the time. Yes, Asus went with a 1366 x 768 px 12.5 inch display on the Transformer Book, but I have a similarly sized screen with the same resolution on my Lenovo X220 and it’s a lot sharper. ![]() My first impression wasn’t that good, mostly because fonts and fine details looked somewhat fuzzy, overly pixelated on this panel. So be careful how you use it and treat it nicely. I worry the connection will get even looser in time and have negative effects on the port that links the tablet with the dock. The same design was used on the T200TA model and behaved similarly as well. On the other hand, the slate doesn’t fit snugly in this hinge, and that’s mostly because the hinge lacks a back part that could grab the slate like a claw and keep it firmly in place, like it had on the Asus T100TA. I also appreciated its outer rubberized and textured finishing that lets you securely grab the device in everyday use, and combined with the rubber feet on the belly, makes sure the device won’t slip on your desk. Taking a closer look at the dock’s hinge you’ll notice that Asus padded it with some sort of fabric so it won’t scratch the tablet when having the two connected. The case is made out of a textured plastic that tends to show smudges easily, with glass covering the front face and a narrow black plastic rim around the display. Second, this is not a high-end device, so you shouldn’t expect to find premium materials or top-tier features on it. Connecting the dock gives a laptop-like form factor, the keyboard, trackpad and extra ports. The hardware and the battery are placed in the slate itself, behind the screen, thus you can easily use this Transformer Book as a tablet. ![]() First, of all, this device is a stand-alone tablet bundled with a matching docking station in order to get laptop functionality, like all the other members of Asus’s Transformer Book series. There are a few things you need to know from the beginning. ![]() With dock: 311 x 218 x 24 mm (12.2” x 8.5” x 0.94”)ĭocking station included, with keyboard, trackpad, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 slots and HDD Micro-HDMI, microSD card reader (up to 64 GB cards), proprietary docking port, headphone jack The specs sheet for the Asus Transformer Book T300FAġ2.5 inch, 1366 x 768 px resolution, IPS, touchscreenĦ4 GB eMMC inside the slate and 1 TB HDD (7 mm) in the dock Asus Transformer Book T300FA video review On top of that, we have a pre-release version of the T300FA here and not a final retail unit, thus some of the things I’ve noticed during the last 10 days or so might be addressed on the versions you’ll be able to buy in stores in a few weeks (end of November). And if you’re interested in this new platform, check out my detailed list of all the Core M laptops available right now, or soon to be launched. The name might not tell you much, but this is Asus’s first 2-in-1 laptop built on the Intel Core M new-generation hardware platform and promises to be powerful enough to handle your everyday tasks, efficient enough to run for several hours on a charge, completely silent (fanless) and last but not least, fairly affordable, with a starting price of around 600 euro here in Europe, or $600 in the US.īut does it actually deliver on these promises?
