A great product in itself, but does not compare well to the Surface Pro 3.

The pricey Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi is a very thin, elegant-looking detachable-hybrid tablet that makes some major concessions in the name of portability.

The Asus Transformer Book Chi T300 is an intriguing and stylish take on the Windows laptop hybrid. However, poor battery life, some issues with the screen and some fundamental problems with the whole 2-in-1 design approach means it falls well short of convincing as either a tablet, a laptop or something in between.

The Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi (MSRP: $699, $899 as tested) is one more in a long line of hybrid options that attempt to strike a balance between a laptop and a tablet, offering the convenience of on-the-go media consumption and the power of a full laptop in one device. ...

Asus' impressively thin 2-in-1 looks and feels great and starts at just $699 (with an upscale model at $899). But battery life is short for a Core M device, and the 12.5-inch screen makes a slightly unwieldy tablet.

[...] The T300 Chi isn't marketed as a business solution for these reasons, but multimedia users who want a versatile Windows tablet with the occasional use outside of home will find a lot to like.

So no, I don't think you'd be totally happy with the T300 Chi unless you're a very specific individual with very specific needs. Next year's Chi, though? It could be pretty damn amazing.

Asus refines its Transformer Book series with an impeccably thin and light machine to rival the Surface Pro 3 as the best 2-in-1 laptop.
