Asus Transformer Book T100HA

Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

As a tablet hybrid, the Asus Transformer Book T100HA with battery like Asus A31N1537 Battery, Asus X441U Battery, Asus X441UA Battery, Asus X441SA Battery, Asus X441SC Battery, Asus X441UV Battery, Asus A31LP4Q Battery, Asus A31N1601 Battery, Asus R541UA Battery, Asus X541U Battery, Asus X541UV Battery, Asus X541SC Battery is a decent option. But if being able to switch from tablet to laptop on the fly isn’t your top priority, look elsewhere.

Notebooks will always have a major advantage over tablets: the keyboard. For all of it does to compromise portability, it offers a method of input that can never be matched by on-screen, virtual keyboards, and that’s exactly the appeal that Asus (and some other companies, for that matter) is banking on with the latest version of its Transformer Book T100HA.

On paper, 2-in-1s are the best of both worlds: a tablet when you want it, a laptop when you need it. In practice, things are slightly more nuanced. So let’s take a look at how well Asus executes on the concept and whether or not the end result is worth your hard-earned cash.

Despite the unusually low synthetic benchmark score below, the battery life of the Transformer Book is fantastic. If you were to use the device passively (i.e. not as your primary device), you can get a good four days and change out of it, as I did, thanks to both its general efficiency and ability to hold a charge well when in standby. Alternatively, if you use it intensively as your primary device for work, internet browsing, audio/video streaming, etc. , you can still easily get a full day’s worth out of a single charge and even some to spare for the next day (I almost made it to the end of the second day, but I admittedly made a point of turning off the display whenever I wasn’t using it for a few minutes at a time).

One clever feature of the Transformer Book is that you can quickly tap the power button when it’s off to see a graphic (though no percentage) representing the amount of battery life left. The only downside to this is that you have to hold down the power button a little longer than you would expect to actually turn the device on, but it’s still a nice inclusion.

At $350, the Asus Transformer Book T100HA isn’t a bad deal, but it’s not a spectacular one either. Sure, it has a relatively affordable price to go with its nice build and top-of-the-line OS, but the mid-range specs can frustrate at times, and the display is a disappointment.

But perhaps most importantly, the lack of any other remarkable attributes suggests that you should only be buying this if you’re dying for the ability to dock to a keyboard; there are comparable machines out there (some of which are cheaper!) whose only difference is that their displays are permanently attached to their keyboards. So if the whole transforming feature isn’t something that’s all that important to you, then you can probably pass on this.
