Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi Review! (Core M powered)

2015-03-24
what's up everyone John wrench from TechnoBuffalo here at the latest convertible from Asus this is the transformer book t---three hundred Chi it's rocking Intel's Core and processor and a lot of powerful specs under the hood it does a lot combined for a good experience or is it way to compromise its going to get started so this guy's going to start out at just around 700 bucks ours as options came in at just about 900 so that price you can get an upgraded twelve point five inch 2560 by 1440 pixel IPS display the core and processor eight gigs of ram 128 gig SSD and it's totally thin and famis design this thing is really thin at seven point six millimeters thick and just were thin it's still a tablet through and through looking around you won't find things you see on most laptops like a full-size USB port HDMI port or full-size SD card slot in place of those through little more standard port you're going to get micro USB port one micro HDMI port and a ridiculously unnecessary hard to find micro SD card slot that so you know is lurking under the bottom edge so definitely get all of your adapters ready so look at this thing it probably looks like a regular laptop to you but this is a complete tablet it just pulls right off and it does have a detachable magnetic Bluetooth keyboard that does need its own power when this thing is docked in keyboard mode work just like any other laptop would as you'd expect the MOCA touch trackpad worked very well the keys had relatively nice throw and one not being full-size and really felt my fingers feeling cramped at all one odd thing though is if the loo tablet itself just comes right out there's no sort of connection actually made between the computer and the keyboard just little bit of magnets are going to help hold it in place so I can get any extra battery life when you have this dock into the keyboard in fact the keyboard is going to need its own charger and its own battery that's gonna charge via micro USB once it's in it does work very well I would have liked if had a few more viewing angles with it the hinge doesn't go back all that far but it is very easy just to put it right on and pick it up and go battery life was pretty decent as well coming in just around 7 hours both out a fan it did run a little bit on the warm side the big thing that I want to test about this thing was the core temp processor we're hearing a lot about that nowadays same processors can be in the new Mac ours clocks in at 1.2 gigahertz I don't have any experience at all with the core M borer again we're hearing way more about it so I wanted to test see how capable it was and do things that I do on regular basis and probably you do too first could have play 4k YouTube videos absolutely without any stuttering and on fullscreen I'll about playing for ki BDO's well another app was snapped same thing yep no stuttering things look great what about playing 4k why had four other apps open still worked as well as it did with no apps open and on fullscreen so that question was what about gaming this is obviously not meant for gaming and it's not a gaming powerhouse but how could handle casual games so I went downloaded Steam fired up portal 2 and Batman Arkham City Arkham at 720p and default settings played really well no stuttering no issue at all screen looks great performance was fine the settings got ratcheted up though that's where things started to see some definite slowness portal 2 was the same story no issue at all in 720p but when I went up to 13 30 by 768 it got a little bit degraded and it wasn't the best experience more although if you're ok with 720 it actually can handle a pretty good casual gaming so it's actually left more impressive t 300 more in particular the core and processor that I originally thought it's incredibly thin light surprisingly capable I would have liked longer battery life or two very least have the keyword be able provide some extra juice the power button is a little bit on the annoying side located in the upper left hand corner I kept hitting it when I trying to adjust the angle of the screen but that's just a minor quibble this is a solid option for the Microsoft Office crowd who just wants to consume media more than they want to create it but definitely bring some that is with you if you want to look to pick one of these guys up so do you guys think are you excited about the T 302 you excited about the core M could it replace your regular laptop or the computer I would love to hear your thoughts I don't leave your comments down below give the video a thumbs up we always appreciate it of course check us out at Exxon Buffalo comm place and greatest tech news and if you want to see our videos as they happen which seemingly come out every day it's a big subscribe button make sure they head to your inbox until next time I'm John render see you next video buh-bye
