ASUS Transformer Book T300 Review

With a couple of months later than the European market, the ASUS Transformer Book T300FAbegins to peep also in Italian stores. At the time of this writing, the shop that have added to the price list (albeit in advance) can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but we are confident that within a few days of the hybrid ASUS will come into stock, the availability will grow, will expand to more stores online / physical and its price will drop by a few tens of euro. Currently, it is available in Italian in the model ASUS Transformer Book T300FA-FE001H (code 90NB0531-M00920) at a price of 615 euro (link to the offer), but it is already possible to find it at a street price of 570 euro (shipping included) , much closer to the price “European” of 599 euro. If you do not hurry, we suggest you wait.

ASUS Transformer Book T300 was launched at IFA 2014, but do not confuse it with the ASUS Transformer Book T300 About presented by the Taiwanese more recently. The two hybrids, based on the same concept tablet + keyboard in fact, share most of the technical but are distinguished by the materials, weight / size and also for the intended use. In practice, the ASUS Transformer Book T300 Who is a more refined, elegant. In one word “premium”. But we have to wait another few months before seeing it in our country.

Returning to the Transformer Book T300FA-FE001H, this model incorporates a dual-core CPU Intel Core M-5Y10 (Broadwell) 2GHz, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory on eMMC more traditional hard drive from 500GB in the keyboard and display from 12.5 inch HD (1366 x 768 pixels). The rest of the budget provides connectivity 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB 3.0. The battery 33 WHr should provide a range indicative of 8 hours while on board is not missing Windows 8.1. The product sheets are still under construction, sometimes crammed with errors, so check the configuration of the device before purchase.

Apparently it would seem the same version that has been circulating for a few months in Europe; not a top-of-range model, but definitely one of the SKU of fascia lata. It is not a powerful device, also because it integrates a Core M low-power, and the display touch HD starts to be a bit ‘outdated and unsatisfactory on device cost. ASUS Transformer Book T300 is suitable for those who need a terminal lightweight (800 grams, which become 1.6Kg with keyboard) and thin (9.9 mm, rising to 20 mm with keyboard), to accompany him during the entire day of work . It does not replace a notebook with Broadwell CPU-U, but at least allows you to stay connected, produce some text and surf the Internet with a comfortable keyboard, without having to spend a fortune. For those interested in its review, here’s a few months ago. Happy reading.
