ASUS Transformer TF300T Keyboard Dock & Case Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-07-07
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the accessories for the e Pad Transformer TF 300 so we have a couple of different things here one is there versus leaf which is apparently wrap up in elegant functionality your TF 300 dual positioning multi angle cover for the e pad okay that is it that's the whole description so hopefully once we actually put and you've had inside it it'll become somewhat more self-explanatory that's kind of nice actually so the outside actually has a similar finish to the original transformer sort of looking thing okay and the inside uses like a microfiber II feeling very very soft fabric like this going on whatever that is I guess you can store like a micro SD card in there or something that's kind of cool okay we've got this is kind of a like I'm delivery type thing okay so you throw your tablet in there so we're gonna try putting an actual tablet in but first we're gonna have a look at the transformer pad mobile dock so since the first transformer Asus has been doing this whole keyboard dock II extension IO battery expansion Eve thingy that makes the transformer tablets really set apart from their competition so in terms of stuff that's included you got a user's manual which is probably unnecessary for this particular thing because it's really easy basically what you do is you plug your TF 300 into it just line it up using the little arrows no can you see the error when you work sorry I do 39 up using little arrows plug it in it clicks into place turns your tablet into a netbook so basically the netbook is dead unless you really need like a much lower cost solution because this isn't really that cheap stone but you get all of this functionality so you get a keyboard or you get a touchpad you get a full keyboard including all this all these hotkeys and all this it's sort of here hold on let's go back to home there we go so it's that one yet not sure okay so you get all of these hotkeys related to Android functionality full keyboard numbers arrows everything that you need so it turns the it turns the tablet from sort of a cool video watching web browsing device into a legitimate note-taking productivity device that is still super portable and still touchscreens so just because you plug this in doesn't mean you can't still use the touchscreen as well now what else does it have it also has what the heck is this oh right that's for charging it haha so that's a soos is a proprietary dot connector on the front not a whole lot on this side we've got an SD card slot as well as a USB port so you also add IO functionality to the tablet no the tablet already has a microSD slot so you can add add add an additional SD card for a like whopping on it on even on a 16-game up so let's say on a 32 gig model and you throw a couple 32 gig SD cards which were like 25 bucks each these days for 50 bucks plus the cost of the tablet you've got whatever 32 gigs times three is 96 gigs of storage on this device I mean that's getting up there with laptops with SSDs that's awesome on the bottom you got your rubberized grip ease not to mention right the last but not least part the transformer keyboard is not just a keyboard an i/o it's also a battery expansion pack so when you're running low on battery you pop it into the bottom piece assuming the bottom piece is charged and you can actually run for up to 15 hours on the two of them combined if they both have a full charge so that is pretty cool as well I think that pretty much covers it now let's have a look our folks are left we already took a look but it was a very brief look at the vs. leaves so I don't know if it fits it with the keyboard dock but apparently it does okay so there you go that's what it looks like with the keyboard dock on it however I don't think that is necessarily the intended use what it looks like to me is here's how you've undock it it's really easy okay to me it looks more like think they've got some like usage scenarios here so let's figure out how this works so you start in here okay so that's pretty straightforward looks like that okay and then you can also prop it up apparently so let's figure out how that works shall we that doesn't seem right wait really I think this is how they have it set up like it's folded once and then it's like holding like that no way see that's how the diamond that's not the diagram it's like that oh no no the diagram is a little triangle like that there we go okay yes success that is how to do it in sort of 1 minute or less how to how to prop up a tablet on a thing oh you can do it the other way too okay so you can also set it up oh wait no that's the same way as well okay so no there's video config and typing config so you take it out you prop this thing into here and then you put this there AHA now we're in typing config so now you can you have a bit of a lure wrist rest thing while you type and then the other solution is putting this into here and now it's propped up more for viewing videos yes thank you for checking out my unboxing my very awkward presentation of how to use it and first look at the mercy sleeve as well as the mobile block for the TF 300 don't forget to subscribe to
