Asus Transformer Book Chi T100 Tablet Provides All-Day Battery Life

Asus Transformer Book Chi T100 is one seriously thin convertible tablet with a 10.1-inch screen, runs Windows 8, and has a Bluetooth keyboard with the company’s simplest docking system yet. Meet the smart, sophisticated 2-in-1 with an ultra-slim profile that puts life in your hands, wherever you take it.

Ideal for work, perfect for play

Asus Transformer Book Chi T100 carrying both a tablet and a laptop is a nuisance. Chi is a 2-in-1, which means exactly what it says — it’s a Windows laptop with a keyboard that detaches, turning it into a Windows tablet. Two devices, in one beautiful package. It’s a simple idea that’s elegant and convenient, too.

A Windows 8 tablet to replace your laptop: Asus Transformer Book Chi T100

Asus Transformer Book Chi T100: Keyboard dock has the same dark blue metal finish with chrome chamfered edges as the tablet, giving it a beautifully premium look. Unlike previous Asus Transformers, the keyboard dock does not power the tablet and therefore doesn’t act as a second battery. Instead, the connection is merely a magnetic one, with each half powering itself. Because of this, the keyboard also fails to bring any extra connectivity, save for a single microUSB port for Asus eee pc 1000 battery charging, which you’ll need to do every few weeks.

Asus Chi T100 are now coming with the full version of Windows 8.1, this means you get the tiled, touch screen-friendly interface on one side of the operating system, and a familiar mouse- and keyboard-friendly traditional desktop on the other. The latter can still be swiped, touched and prodded if you prefer, but as with all Windows tablets with HD screens, some icons end up being tiny. The included battery-powered stylus helps here for tapping at smaller links, and its inclusion in the £400 price adds a professional feel to the Chi T100, even if there are few uses for it out of the box. There’s 64GB of storage, which is four times more than the equivalently priced iPad Air 2, and unlike the Apple tablet, the Asus has a microSD card slot to increase this further. Asus claims of all-day battery life are justified, as eight hours of continuous use is possible without being too careful.

To give Transformer Book T100 Chi its all-day battery life and quiet operation, only the most power-efficient components are good enough. Asus chose the latest quad-core Intel® Atom™ Z3775 processor. With a performance boost of more than 10% over previous-generation processors, it breezes through common tasks, then users can depend on T100 Chi to give you all the day-to-day performance you need.
