Das Asus Transformer Book T100TA ist einer der ersten Tablet-PCs auf Basis von Intels neuer Atom-Plattform Bay Trail, die im Test für gute Performance und prima Akkulaufzeiten sorgt. Allerdings offenbart das Windows-8.1-Tablet gravierende Display-Mängel. Insgesamt landet das Asus mit einer noch guten Gesamtnote im Bestenlisten-Mittelfeld.

Günstiges Windows 8.1 Convertible mit guter Performance und sehr gutem Softwarepaket. Abzüge gibt´s beim spiegelnden Display, der fingerabdruckanfälligen Oberfläche und der Kamera.

If you’re curious about Windows 8 on a portable tablet, the Transformer Book has a much lower barrier to entry than the Surface Pro.

The Asus Transformer Book T100TA is kind of different for a hybrid. It has extremely low performance as a laptop (productivity and web browsing will be all you do on it), but excellent performance as a tablet. Considering the price, it would be a great choice as a standalone Windows 8 slate.

If you travel a lot then this is a very light unit. For a second PC it is ideal and remember most Windows programs should run without problem.

As long as hardcore gaming on the go isn’t on the agenda, the Transformer Book T100 is the most affordable way to get a slice of Windows 8.1 and Office while keeping the portability of a 10in tablet. If you’re more bothered by price and portability than the detachable screen, a Chromebook might be worth a look.

Gadgets like the Asus Transformer Book T100 mean you no longer have to choose between a tablet and a laptop - it's a fully functioning computer so your only choice is keyboard-on or keyboard-off. It's pretty lightweight, comparing well to a laptop with both parts assembled. And it performs well, and at length. On the flip side, the display really doesn't match others out there, so you may tire of its low resolution and average colour palette. And the keyboard is a disappointment in terms of build quality and usability, especially the creaky touchpad. The T100 is also available in wi-fi only configuration, there's no 3G model. ...

This great value touchscreen hybrid has a great screen and superb battery life.

The T100 is a versatile laptop and tablet hybrid that arrives with full Windows 8.1 and an eye-catching price tag. That said, be aware of its cramped keyboard and average internal horsepower.

Zum Preis von derzeit 379 Euro - es gab bereits Angebote für extrem günstige 299 Euro - bekommt die Kundschaft mit dem Asus Transformer Book T100 einen echten Windows-Rechner, der sich als Tablet oder Netbook nutzen lässt. Das ist ein ziemliches Pfund, zumal der schnelle Quad-Core-Prozessor mehr als genug Leistung mitbringt. Für so wenig Geld ist aber klar, dass es nicht alles geben kann. ...

The T100 is more laptop than tablet but has the option to be flexible. It's not a great laptop, but it's a capable one and highly affordable, too. If you can find one of these around AU$350, you're getting a tablet and a netbook in one, with plenty of battery life to spare and full Windows 8 ...

Yes, you can get Microsoft's Surface 2 for a tenner more, but that model only runs the limited RT version of Windows 8.1 and you'll still need to shell out another £100 for the accompanying keyboard. ...

Intel's Bay Trail Atom leaves a good impression. You should not expect any miracles from the quad-core, but the performance has clearly been improved, both subjectively and objectively. It pays off to use a Bay Trail system (Z3740) instead of an old Clover Trail (Z2760). ...

The Asus Transformer Book T100 is a tablet that leaves out frilly features in order to bring the Transformer form to Windows with zero impact on cost. And what has resulted is a bit of a hit. If a tablet-laptop Windows hybrid is what you’re after, you can’t do any better at the price.

This is not an iPad killer, or even a rival to the Surface Pro 2. But at £349 it is a compelling deal. The Asus Transformer Book T100T is a compact device that offers true functionality and decent performance. And it is a truly portable office PC. Much more updated netbook than desirable gadget, students, school children, home PC users and office road warriors could easily spend more and get less.

The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-priced 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won’t love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it’s hard to beat.

Thanks to Intel’s new Atom CPU, the Transformer Book T100 delivers full Windows 8.1 in a tiny, affordable package – the netbook is back.

At its core, you get the best of both worlds with this particular tablet, mainly because it’s one part tablet, one part netbook. Best of all, you’re not going to be spending a fortune on picking it up!

Das Asus Transformer Book T100 kann durch sein unglaubliches Preis / Leistungsverhältnis und einer guten Performance überzeugen.

We’re really impressed with the Asus Transformer Book T100. Its 10.1-inch scale works well as either a tablet or a laptop, even if the keyboard does feel a little squeezed up on initial use. ...

In context to the rest of the market it's a real winner. It might be a touch more cash than a Chromebook competitor, but the Asus has so much more to offer. We think it’s an excellent device and one not to be overlooked.

The Transformer Book T100 delivers a solid tablet experience and a good notebook experience in one machine. But it would be even better with a superior keyboard and trackpad.

Kommen wir nun zum Fazit. Mit dem ASUS Transformer Book T100 hat es ASUS mal wieder geschafft, seine Transformer Palette sinnvoll zu erweitern. Das kleine aber sehr feine Convertible Tablet schafft unserer Meinung nach den Spagat zwischen einem Tablet und einem 'Fast-Notebook' ohne Problem. ...

Wirkliche Stellen der Blösse konnten wir in unserem Test nicht feststellen. ...

Our only concern is quality control, and we hope that the first few units to hit the shelf are an exception rather than the rule.

The people who brought you the netbook bring you its 2013 equivalent—a $399 mini laptop/detachable tablet with a 10.1-inch touch screen and 11-hour battery life. With Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Office preinstalled, it shoots to the top of our list of tablet values.

The ASUS Transformer Book T100 offers fantastic battery life, a peppy Atom Bay Trail processor and a keyboard for less than the Surface 2.

As we didn't get to see the thing actually running, we're going to keep it short on the Transformer Book. However, we will say that this feels like the Transformer series coming to an almighty, exciting creschendo. There are still a few issues – there are only two USB ports, for example - but we're not sure we've ever seen such a convincing meld of a mid-size laptop and a tablet. We'll be back with availability and pricing details on the Transformer Book as they become available.
