Lovely 1080p IPS display ; Comfortable keyboard ; Fast boot-up, resume times ; Keyboard dock has a spare battery, hard drive

Heavy for a 13-inch touchscreen Ultrabook ; Launching with a year-old CPU

The Transformer Book was an innovative concept when it was first announced a year ago. But now that it's finally shipping with old components, you're better off waiting for a possible Haswell refresh.

Gorgeous 1080p touch screen. Intel Core i7-3517U processor adds oomph. Extra battery adds stamina.

Finicky dock connector. Diminished performance on battery power.

While there are plenty of things to like about the Asus Transformer Book TX300C—like a beautiful 1080p touch screen, a long-lasting dual-battery setup, and a powerful Core i7 processor—there were still a few problems. The touchy docking connection made...

High-grade aluminum stability, Concept with much memory space (HDD in dock), Mode: dock serves as energy filling station, Color-intensive IPS panel, Low system noise, Optically speaking nearly a real notebook, Good keyboard, Many connections incl....

High weight, USB ports too close to each other, Core i7 clearly below standard, Throttled HD 4000, Longer battery runtimes. We expect more of two batteries than 3:34 to 5:42 hours (WLAN browsing; notebook mode off/on)

Equally good as a tablet and a laptop. Superb full HD display, attractive all-metal casing, secondary HDD in dock, good selection of ports

Tablet and keyboard dock weigh 4.2 lbs., which is a bit heavy for a 13" Ultrabook. Battery life just OK

The Asus Transformer Book TX300 is the best Windows 8 transformer to date. Granted, at $1,499 for the high end model we tested, it should be great. The IPS display is simply stunning and the machine is quite fast. It has the excellent build quality and...

IPS screen, powerful hardware, good build quality, good keyboard and trackpad, fair battery life

some light bleeding on the screen, the hinge does not grip the tablet properly, rather large and heavy for a 13 incher

Anyway, as we draw closer to the end of our review, I believe some of you might find the Transformer Book as the next step for laptops. You get all the power and the features of a laptop, but you also get to detach the, let’s call it “screen”, and end...

Great keyboard ; Easy to switch between laptop and tablet ; Decent performance ; Good battery life

Last-gen processor ; Very heavy ; Slightly ungainly tablet ; Buggy performance

The Asus Transformer Book TX300 is a well-built machine with bags of power and a unique twist. It's one of our favourite hybrid devices, because usability isn't hobbled by the impossible dream of fulfilling both laptop and tablet uses.

This makes the Asus Transformer Book TX300 rather expensive, but it's also unlike any other laptop tablet hybrid we've seen so far. Its dual storage setup gives it a much more attractive edge than other similarly priced laptops like the Sony VAIO Duo...
