ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C review: a speedy budget tablet with a few sacrifices

When it comes to ASUS, buying a full-size Android tablet has usually meant venturing past the $300 mark; even the Transformer Book T100 set you back $349

Great value ; Fast for the money ; Comfortable typing experience

Terrible cameras ; Low-resolution display ; So-so battery life

ASUS' entry-level Transformer Pad sacrifices quite a bit in the name of price, but you still get a speedy, well-designed Android tablet that can serve as a basic laptop in a pinch.

Asus Transformer Pad TF103C review: This hybrid is better for fun than work

This 10.1-inch tablet delivers plenty of bang for the buck, but it's not a great productivity tool.

Solid build quality ; Good price-to-performance ratio ; Very good keyboard dock

Short battery life ; Relatively weak as a productivity tool

The Transformer Pad TF103C is a solid tablet for entertainment and other casual uses, but it won't supplant a true notebook if you're looking to boost your productivity while you're on the road.

Asus Transformer TF103C review

The latest release in the Transformer line of Asus tablets is a simple hybrid for simple needs. The TF103 delivers a full slate of features and a sturdy -- albeit outdated -- design with an optional keyboard. And in a big improvement over the previous...

The Asus Transformer TF103 ships with a keyboard dock, Asus' slick, feature-filled Zen user interface, and useful preloaded apps. Its $299 starting price is low for a tablet hybrid.

The plastic construction of the keyboard feels cheap, the trackpad response sometimes lags, and its thick-bezeled, girthy design is outdated.

With Asus' slickest user interface yet, included keyboard, and a competitive starting price, the small but chunky Transformer Pad TF103 is an attractively affordable tablet hybrid.

Asus Transformer Pad TF103C with keyboard bundle

Yet, the Transformer Pad TF103's biggest selling point is its competitive $299 starting price -- $299 in the US, £240 in the UK and AU$429 in Australia. That's as low as it gets in the tablet-hybrid category; it's one of the most affordable Android...

Asus Transformer Pad TF103C Review

With an included keyboard dock, the Asus Transformer Pad TF103C will appeal to productivity hounds on a budget, but it's an otherwise unimpressive Android tablet.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C Review: Why Android Laptops Stink

The ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C shows that Android isn't the best OS for a laptop.

Runs Android 4.4 KitKat with the latest apps ; Good touch screen ; Excellent audio quality for a small device ; Good performance for a $299 tablet

Android is terrible for laptops (no real multitasking) ; Meager 1280x800 screen resolution ; Cramped keyboard ; Bad performance for a $299 laptop

There are two different ways to look at the Asus Transformer Pad TF103C. You can see this device as an Android tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard or you can see it as an Android notebook with a detachable tablet. The TF103C works very well as...

Asus Transformer Pad TF103C Android tablet (with keyboard) review

Asus has been a pioneer in the mobile computing space since launching the first netbook in 2007. Netbooks may not be as popular as they once were, but Asus continues to release portable notebooks, tablets, and 2-in-1 devices.

But personally if I were going to spend $300 on a 10 inch tablet today I’d probably either opt for the Windows-powered Transformer Book T100 or a keyboard-free model with more RAM.

Asus Transformer Pad (TF103C) review

Asus' most refined Transformer yet comes with a friendlier $429 price

Keyboard ; Software

Not enough RAM ; Price

Only the keyboard makes the Transformer Pad worth buying. Without it the tablet proves mundane and a second choice to those on offer from Lenovo, Asus and Xiaomi. The customer interested in a taste of both worlds, notebook and tablet, will be satisfied...
