More powerful and expensive systems like the Sony Vaio Tap 11 still outperform it by a significant margin, though. That system cost over $500 the Transformer Book T100 costs under $400, and is a fraction of the size. Here's the good news: the Transformer Book T100 outperformed last-gen Atom Windows 8 machines, and even did significantly better in some tests than the much more expensive (and heavier) AMD-powered Toshiba Satellite Click. One thing that threw me off a bit was the Windows "home" button: instead of touching the Windows icon just below the display (which does nothing), you have to click the lower left button on the side of the tablet. It's good, and I could definitely see myself using it casually on a sofa, but I wouldn't feel compelled to take the tablet on its own for a day without that keyboard. It's not too heavy to hold, but it doesn't feel designed to be an excellent standalone tablet: it feels more like the floating back lid of a laptop that's still searching for its base. But once you get used to the keys, it gets better.Īs a tablet, the T100 is fine, but it's thicker and bigger than your average iPad or Android tablet, or even a Surface 2. The Chromebook had the best keyboard, followed by the iPad with Belkin case. I typed back and forth among the Transformer Book T100, an iPad Air plugged into a Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case, and an HP Chromebook 11.
