Customer Review

The Convertible, a combination of tablet and laptop, is the successor to the popular Asus T100-TA.

Processing Technically there is little to complain about, the tablet is secure in Tastaturdock, and there is no loose contact. It feels not high quality, but creaks in normal operation and no one notices any defects. Of course you can not aluminum housing as in Macbooks expect, especially at the price.

The screen reproduces colors are real and no color cast or visible halos. Unfortunately, he reflected once bright shining surfaces, such as windows or lamps reflect. Thus, the Convertible is only suitable for outdoor use. The maximum brightness, which could still be even brighter, does not solve this problem. Maybe help protectors, but I have not even tried.

The keyboard is easy to operate, I tend to write with two fingers, and creates a similar number of attacks as on the right desktop keyboards. Even the touchpad there little to complain about. It is similar to proper laptops, and very convenient for the desktop mode of Windows 8, if you have no mouse here.

Speaking of touch, he responds well to finger movements, for the desktop mode I would have still required a stylus like the Surface tablets. With your fingers you have to work a little concentrated, so as not to make a mistake. Since there is then more often than desired to incorrect entries. Maybe with practice.

Games you can also, however, certainly not the latest games at the highest settings. Minecraft runs quite acceptable, with minimal settings even without any perceptible lag, with default settings (fancy graphics, average visibility) can also play, you will always feel short time lags. For games you should get a mouse is also. Who wants to play a lot more current games, should rather look at the higher-class notebook or to buy a gaming PC.

Basic tasks like surfing the Internet, the use of MS Office (which is as a license are even on top of it) make absolutely no problems. Even Skype worked well. FULL-HD video plays from the device without any problems, even in the VLC player.

A few personal desires for successor models
- Dual-boot option with Windows and Android, as there are more touch-friendly apps for Android.
- More USB ports in Tastaturdock
- Interchangeable components (hard disk, RAM, ...)
- An LED for new notifications
- An anti-glare screen

Overall I would recommend the Convertible for people:

- Use the road Office applications
- Who like to surf on the couch on the net
- Who watch videos
- Use the simple Windows applications or games
- Tap the road longer texts

Hope I've helped you with your purchase decision somewhat! :)

*** SUPPLEMENT: 12/08/2014 ***
I plan to update the review and notify you through the advanced use of more impressions:

- The tablet sits stable Tastaturdock, even if you hold the device only on the tablet
- Mirroring the screen is most apparent in dark scenarios bright images and applications you see them less
- The connection to a Full HD monitor works. With the option "Advanced" tab, you can run on the monitor and on the tablet different applications. One needs a corresponding micro-HDMI cable to do so. The content is displayed in full HD.
- The battery lasts about 10 hours, when loading a small LED will turn red on the tablet, after charging white. It is not particularly bright, but visible, and does not bother at night.
- It is possible, using a separately available USB OTG adapter without Tastaturdock on Tablet USB devices such as a mouse or external storage. Connect hard drive.
- The built-in tablet speakers sound pretty good, of course you can not expect miracles from an approximately 1 cm thick housing, but music and video you can already listen understood about
- The microSD looks about 1 mm from the slot out
