Features At-A-Glance:
– 2-in-1 ultraportable notebook with a 10″ detachable tablet – Latest Windows 8.1 operating system preinstalled with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 – All-day computing with up to 11 hours of battery life on a single charge – 32GB SSD storage on tablet plus an additional 500GB HDD storage space on keyboard dock for all your data and files – Comfortable keyboard dock with multi-touch touchpad and USB 3.0 for productivity on-the-go – Share and connect anywhere you go with unlimited ASUS Webstorage space for 1 year free
A Laptop and Tablet Combined – The Best of Two Worlds
The T100 combines the productivity of a laptop with the portability of a tablet. At just 2.4 lbs, it’s one of the lightest notebooks in the world. It’s a fully functioning Windows 8.1 laptop you can easily pick up and go. But detach the 10.1-inch HD display from the keyboard and it becomes a 1.2 lb tablet – among the lightest in the industry – for extra portability. Switch back and forth in an instant to suit your every need. Why choose between a laptop and a tablet? With its sleek design and versatility, the T100 gives you both.
Ultimate Power That Lasts Longer
Thanks to the exclusive ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II power management system, the ASUS Transformer Book T100 provides an amazing 11 hours of battery power. Now you can do more without having to reach for the power cord. On top of that, the T100 provides 14 days of standby with a near-instant wake up time. Simply open the computer and it’ll be ready for use in just 2 seconds. You’ll never have to wait for sluggish reboot times again. And don’t worry about losing data during long stints in standby mode – the T100 automatically backs up all content when the battery level falls below 5%.
Speed and Performance That Keeps Up With You
Powered by the new Intel Atom Bay Trail-T Z3740 quad-core processor, the T100 is faster than ever. Now you’ll be able to use multiple programs simultaneously without a hint of lag – and you won’t be short on programs. Perfect for the student or working professional, the T100 comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 with full versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote – a $139 value that makes the T100 even more affordable. Plus, the Windows Store can be used with Xbox Live games and music. With the T100, you’ll be able to multitask – switching back and forth between productivity and entertainment – in the smoothest, most efficient experience possible.
More Storage Space, Greater Versatility
The T100 isn’t just a tablet with a keyboard dock – it’s a fully functioning laptop. Already featuring a beautiful touchscreen, it was only right that ASUS paired it with a worthy keyboard, one that features precision-engineered keys with 19 mm travel for comfortable typing. The keyboard works with the multi-touch touch pad for effortless navigation of the full Windows 8.1 experience. Even more, the dock boasts an extra 500 GB of Hard Drive space so you can store your data – music, high-res photos, HD movies – all in one, easily-accessible place. To make that even easier, the T100 comes with USB 3.0, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Now you can transfer a 25 GB Blu-ray-quality movie in just 70 seconds, then – with the tablet’s micro-HDMI port –connect to a full HD TV for big-screen entertainment.
A New Viewing and Listening Experience
The T100 features a brilliant 10.1-inch HD display that brings your photos, videos and games to life. The 178-degree viewing angles provide greater all-around clarity and a fuller picture, which you can fine-tune to your specific needs. Reading Mode detects your environment and auto-adjusts the display’s brightness, contrast and color for comfortable reading even after prolonged use. But the T100 provides quality audio to match its impressive picture. ASUS’s team of sound engineers has crafted SonicMaster for an unmatched listening experience. Larger sound chambers reduce distortion and provide a crisper, true-to-life sound even in noisy settings – all while keeping the technology as thin as possible.
Unlimited Cloud Storage, Instant Access
The T100 comes with free unlimited ASUS WebStorage for one year so you never lost data again. Store your data – personal files, music, photos, movies – in the cloud and access it anytime you want. With the MyBitCast app, your content will be auto-updated and synced so you can share with friends via a smartphone, tablet or computer. All you need is an internet connection.

Fantastic value!….but with some caveats This has got to be one of the best tech values besides the Nexus 5 and Nokia 520. Fro $350-400, you get a FULL FEATURED 10 inch Windows 8 tablet that comes with a keyboard dock! Tablet one second, netbook the other! Its a fantastic device that gets 5 stars for its superb value alone!+ Great screen! People online may gripe on the 720p display, but you’ll never notice using it+ Battery life: Took it off the charger 7am this morning, and been using it straight since browsing the internet, viewing several Youtube videos both on Flash and Metrotube app, reading PDFs with Bluetooth and Webcam on. Now at 4pm, and still have 40% on the tank! Definetly liberating from netbooks where under clocking underpowered devices was a necessity to get that battery life. About as good as my iPad.+The Speakers! As an iPad owner, I’m impressed. Very clear and very loud. definitely betrays their size. I’ve never had reason to crank it up past 50% so far.+ FULL WINDOWS 8.1! This can’t be said enough. I think almost everyone who has bought a Netbook did so to get a full Windows experience in a relatively portable format, where I do not feel afraid to use the device on a subway, and doesn’t require me to bring a charger.+ This things a BEAST for its size. Wana watch a flash Youtube video while browsing the net on the same screen? No problem! Wana do some photo editing while watching said video? No sweat! Everything is buttery smooth on Bay Trail. Hell, it seems faster than my Core2Duo 2009 White Macbook that I’ve been using as my primary computer (very happily especially with Mavericks) for 4 years now.+ FREE DOCK!!!!+ MicroSD card slot: Format it so NTFS, and you have an additional 32-64GB Hard Drive, so space no longer becomes a big issue.However…….- The Dock: I REALLY want to like this thing. Truly. But its pretty terrible. The keyboard has the same configuration and size as my 1000HE, which I’ve been using regularly until recently (broken fan). But its for some reason a pain in the ___ to type on. I think its because the keys are recessed in to the case too far, and the boarders around the keyboard are too high. Makes it very awkward to type on. Keys are also a bit stiff, but I personally don’t mind that too much. Also, like others are reporting, there’s still Q/A issues with these: Bought it from BestBuy yesterday (32GB) so its a brand new batch. The space bar is already squeaking after just a days use. Now very difficult to type on. Gonna send it in for return.The Touchpad is also pretty bad. However, there’s a way to make it pretty decent:1- realize that Asus put some stupid power saving feature to turn off the touchpad after 10 seconds or so. When you wana use it, just tap on it and use it. Small 6/10 second thing, but it makes it much more bearable.2- On the Desktop, double click “Asus Smart Gesture” on the bottom right where the Dock is (where you see your Battery indicator). Go to “Edge Gesture” and TURN THAT SHAITE OFF!!! Whoever thought that was a good idea in the first place should be fired! This thing already has the ability to do gestures with the touch screen. What’s the point in adding all these unusable gestures to such a small touchpad? Leave it alone! The only gesture it needs is 2 finger scrolling. The rest is pointless.3- After that, go to Mouse Settings on the Control Panel and crank up both touch sensitivity and scrolling speed.So in conclusion, if you want a FULL 10 inch Windows Tablet that has a dock to use as a stand, case, and occasional keyboard, then get the Asus T100 without hesitation. Its perfect.If, like me, you are looking to get one as a netbook replacement, then wait a bit longer. Either until Asus fixes their Q/A issues, for competitor models that WILL be coming, or ditch the Tablet part and wait for the eventual touch screen Bay Trail netbooks.In my 1 day use, the tablet part adds to the Netbook experience. Complementing it with the fast processing and amazing battery life, this machine should be the Ultimate Computational Device.However, it isn’t right now. My thumb is tired from hitting this squeaky space bar, so signing off!Edit: Just got back from Bestbuy to exchange the keyboard, and the overall response is much better. Think the keyboard was defective all around. If it holds up after the next few weeks, I’ll bump it up to 4 stars. Still, be wary of the quality control issues on this product, and make sure you buy it from somewhere that has a very flexible return policy.Edit 2: Well, it’s been a month and so far, so good! The new dock has shown no wear and is now holding up well. after about a month, it’s staring to replace my iPad as a tablet. Not entirely, but it’s getting there. 4:3 aspect ratio is still ideal for tablet browsing, and Windows store is sorely lacking apps…but considering that…
Great product! Need to be careful in setup to avoid crashing 0
Exactly what I expected…after some patience. 0
