For under $500 you get a versatile Windows tablet and a decent keyboard dock for laptoplike functionality. Bay Trail delivers performance and battery life as good as competing ARM SoCs.
A 1366x768 display doesn't cut it anymore. Glossy design is a massive fingerprint magnet. In its laptop form, the Transformer Book is reasonably heavy.

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....
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...
Runs the full version of Windows 8, Physical keyboard included, Can be used as either a small laptop or a Windows tablet
Cheap construction and feel, Not as powerful as some convertible laptops
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 ...
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...

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...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 runs full Windows 8.1, comes with a keyboard, has great battery life, and is a steal if you can find it for $350
The cramped keyboard feels like an old Netbook's used to, not as fast as zippier, larger, more expensive Windows products, display not that vibrant
The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-priced 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won’t love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it’s hard to beat.

Bay Trail is the Atom processor we never knew we needed, Intel HD Graphics get it a modicum of gaming potential, More performance than we're used to from a netbook, Versatile design without the high cost of the Surface, Excellent battery Life, microSD slo
A bit on the heavy side, even just on tablet, No extra battery in the keyboard dock leaves it envious of its Android kin, With just 32-64GB on-board, storage is scarce, The power/volume/Start buttons are a squishy mess, Display lacks pixels
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...
