Performance and battery life is still not on par with what other slim hybrids and laptops deliver. Some design quirks
Such as a poorly placed power button
Can get in the way
Micro ports mean dongles for everything
Can't charge tablet via USB
Bluetooth keyboard needs to be charged separately
Short depth on trackpad
AC adapter's barrel connector fits in headset jack
Previous Transformer models are generally bulkier than the laptop models due to the detachable element. The latest Transformer Book Chi series have eliminated this constraint. Consumers who likes using a Windows tablet but still yearns for the conventiona...
In a lot of ways, the T300 Chi is the Transformer I've always wanted. It has a decent-sized screen with a high pixel density, and it's powered by a Core M processor that splits the difference between Atom and ultrabook chips. And, true to its name, it ca...

16:10 aspect ratio is a bit awkward – especially for tablet use, at about 5 hours on a charge – battery is a bit disappointing
We can't help but compare the T300 to the new MacBook. In which case, priced $400 less than the comparable new MacBook with similar specs, it really offers a lot of value for the money. Pair the system with a subscription to Office 365 University and...

Better battery life than QHD model, Elegant aluminum design, Runs cooler, Detachable Bluetooth keyboard
Slower CPU, Poor audio, No full-size USB port
The $699 Transformer Book T300 Chi is the better version of Asus' two tablet-laptop hybrids, but its battery life is still a little underwhelming....

Abstract: Asus)The T300 weighs in at 3.2 pounds, which is divided almost evenly between the tablet and the keyboard. That's twice the weight of Microsoft's 10.8-inch Surface 3 and heftier than the much pricier 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 3 (2.6 pounds) and even the MacBoo...

The least expensive computer I've ever used that made me feel like a high-powered executive. Yes, that's a backhanded compliment—but it's still a compliment! This machine looks good, and it looks professional, Advertisement, Advertisement, Seriously great
The speakers sound like a bad joke. So. Ridiculously. Quiet. The primary reason I like tablets is so I can stick that screen right up in my maw while watching movies and catch every last detail. But I can't even make out dialogue with this poor excuse for
No. You may like the idea of this computer, but I doubt you’ll appreciate the reality—not when your money could be so much better spent. If you want portability and performance, you can get it in a thin Core i3 or i5 laptop like the $800 Dell XPS 13, or a...
