We generally don't have time to review lower-end products, but sometimes we see something at such an aggressive price we just have to take it for a spin.
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.

We wouldn't necessarily like the T100 if it weren't for its extraordinarily low price: It looks and feels like a netbook, with a tacky plastic shell, middling display and cramped keyboard. Still, it offers solid performance for the money, allowing you...

You will have a hard time beating the $379 (or less) price for this compact 10-inch Windows 8.1 laptop-tablet: this might be the Chromebook killer.
The ; 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-price 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.

A long time ago in Techland, Netbooks were a big deal: they were cheap, portable, and effective, if unexciting. Then came tablets, which could do a lot of the same things, but in a more organic, touch-controlled way.

You know a hybrid machine is living up to its promise when using Windows 8 is enjoyable and makes sense.
Great battery life ; Keyboard dock included ; Very responsive
Flakey touchpad on keyboard ; Cramped keyboard ; Top-heavy in notebook mode
The Transformer Book T100 delivers a solid tablet experience and a good notebook experience in one machine. But it would be even better with a superior keyboard and trackpad.

I started out our Chromebook 11 review with a reminder that we are in the midst of a netbook renaissance. Armed with better hardware, a better sense of materials/industrial design and better OSes, it's time for the next round of entry-level,...
There are very few perfect computing devices out there, but ASUS is one of the companies with the ability to build one if it really tries.

It’s tough to sell an entry-level Windows PC these days. You’re sandwiched between a couple of aggressive price points: the Nexus 7 at $229 and the iPad at $499. Traditionally, the PC you’d get between those price points would have mechanical storage,...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 and T200 are remarkably similar, but have some key differences, so matched them up so you can figure out which one to buy.
Cheap ; New processor for better multitasking\ ; Small and lightweight ; Great battery life
Cramped keyboard and touchpad ; Limited ports and no expansion options
At the end of the day, the Asus Transformer Book T100 and T200 are largely identical 2-in-1 laptops with some differences that may be significant to some users.

Like many holiday shoppers last year our own Sarah White purchased the ASUS Transformer Book T100 as a replacement laptop. Read the full story to see if this value-priced 2-in-1 is still a smart purchase several months later.

The Asus TransformerBook T100 offers users an affordable convertible notebook option. Equipped with Windows 8.1 the device is capable of handling basic tasks and programs without the steep price point seen from other 2-in-1's. However, will the low...
Great battery life ; USB 3.0 hub on the keyboard ; Solid performance of the Intel Bay Trail processor ; Affordable price
Insufficient display resolution ; Plastic body and keyboard ; No rear-facing camera ; Unpolished keyboard touchpad
