Customer Review

Have decided after much consideration for the TA100, because I am looking for a tablet, on the run and 'real' Windows programs.

First Impressions:
- Keyboard: Super, the mouse pad is but sometimes hakelig
- Screen: The resolution extends for 10 inches from, bright enough, but unfortunately because of the glossy finish susceptible to reflections and fingerprints.
- Housing: quite robust, but also brilliant here surfaces on which each fingerprint is visible
- CPU Power: Surprisingly fast response and execution compared to older netbooks
- Battery: Capacity (where assessable) well. A special plus: About microUSB with existing power supplies (2A recommended) rechargeable
- Memory: 32 GB for me enough (of which about 14 GB free), 64GB SDXC easily recognized

Thus, at first I was happy with my purchase and would have awarded five stars for the T100 due to the excellent price / performance ratio.

After I put the tablet aside a few hours, it became permanent at the ASUS boot logo. (Press power button longer) Reboot ended with the same result. Reboot with F9 also led for the first time to a "hanger", the second time then appeared the repair screen. Have decided to Windows "refresher". After about 30 minutes it was finished and the tablet could be again starten.Allerdings disappeared installed Windows programs and some settings. So did everything I appeared critical reinstalled.

A few hours later, the TA100 did not come to life again. Because I have better things to do than constantly re-install, I have the TA100 then sent back to the factory settings and to Amazon.

A quick Internet search (keyword: "ASUS T100 bricked") shows that the only one with this problem, I'm not - but the problem seems not to exist in the majority of owners.

Conclusion: In principle, however, a very good tablet, my copy was unfortunately useless. That is why only two points.

PS: As an old DOS-Hare, programmers and Windows users since 3.1 I would not exactly as DAU (dumbest assumable user) call.
PPS: The next test is a HP Omni 10th
