IntroductionIt's not every day an Atom can wow you, but the Asus T100 rocks an amazingly snappy Z3740 that actually can handle older games and powers through 1080p like a hot knife through butter.The Asus Transformer Book T100 is a well priced tablet look...

With the T100, Asus has shown that they can produce a cheap yet well built device yet again; an ode to their success with the Eee PC. The tablet itself feels a bit flimsy and cheap with the smooth plastic back, and the keyboard has the mediocre quality yo...

Looking at Microsoft's hardware model, you might think that all Windows tablet/laptop hybrids fall into one of two camps: capable-but-pricey, à la the Surface 2 Pro, or the opposite of that, i.e. the ARM-toting, Windows RT–sporting Surface 2. Luckily, no...

Windows is still relatively new to the tablet market, with the launch of Windows 8 occurring just a little over a year ago. But that doesn't mean the market isn't filled with options for consumers, ranging from ARM-based Windows RT options such as the Mic...

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.

Just a few years ago the idea of an x86 tablet that wouldn't burn a hole in your pocket seemed farfetched, as this particular segment was dominated by cheap and frugal ARM chips. A lot has changed over the past few months, thanks to new Intel Bay Trail an...

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...

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...
