ASUS Transformer Book T100TA-C1-GR 10.1-Inch Deal

 Kyle "cylem" (Brighton, MI) :Last years set of windows 8 tablets were a great start to getting windows 8 into the ultra mobile arena. The Atom processors in them kept them thing, cool, and energy efficient all while allowing us to run a full windows operating system halfway decently. They weren't perfect, with limitations like usb 2.0, 2gb of ram, poor graphics, and a sometimes lackluster desktop performance. Intel sets to out do itself with the newer Baytrail chipset giving better processing and video performance as well as compatibility with newer technologies. With windows 8.1 a while slew of new tablets are being released with newer processors and other updated specs, the Asus T100 is one of the first.

Daniel J. Hoffman (Philadelphia, PA): Asus was the manufacturer of the best motherboards available 25 years ago. They know hardware well. My Linux based EEE PC 1000 was my device of choice for years, before the days of tablets, because it was so portable. The T100TA is about the same size, weighs a fourth as much, has respectable processor power, and mine has been running on battery for about 7 hours now and seems to have a quarter tank left. Like the EEE, this device put good electronics in an ok package.

 Ruined (NJ, USA): I bought this product because my last computer is on its way out. I'm a teacher, and there were a few must-haves on my list for whichever computer I ended up buying (Microsoft Office, portability, battery life, a real keyboard for lesson-planning and note-taking, and full Windows capability were the big ones). Because of those needs, I pretty much gave up on the idea of buying a tablet. Most tablets with those functions weren't anywhere near my price point, and then you had to buy a keyboard dock on top of that. When I found out about the T100, I decided to give it a shot because it tackled each of my main needs while keeping a relatively low cost.
