ASUS T100TAF-BING-DK024B 11.6 inch HD LED Convertible Laptop Notebook (Intel BayTrail 1.46 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, Wi-Fi, HDMI, USB 3.0, Windows 8.1)

All right. Here I will write a short review about this Transformer Book which I bough few days ago. First time when it came, it had 0% battery. You have to let it for a while to charge first time, and don't unplug until is 100% charged. But you can use it first time plugged in, as a normal laptop...or tablet. Setup was easy, it took a while to finish settings, but once you do it, it become very fast and responsive (Except Internet Explorer on windows 8, which is a pain... on any PC) I upgraded immediately to windows 10 without problem. YES, I am writing this review on transformer pad with windows 10 installed, which until now didn't had any kind of issues. I've seen some early reviews which they said this tablet is in trouble if you upgrade to windows 10, because of the lacking of drivers and stability. WRONG. Everything was installed successfully, all drivers updated to date, and working even way much better on windows 10. If you want to do the upgrade to windows 10, I will recommend to do it from USB flash storage (minimum 4gb) as I did, you can make it very easily from another PC by just downloading windows10 with creationtool from microsoft website, because if you download it on laptop it will fail due to space ( even like this you will have to select not to merge your documents and programs which u have in windows 8 to win10. just a clean install) Everything works smooth and very responsive. Windows 8 came with under 15gb free space, but once you upgrade to win10 you gonna have around 20gb free space to use (here I talk about 32GB version) The description is wrong because it came with a 32gb SSD, this version, which is very fast and responsive, windows loading in seconds, and everything working as I didn't expected. About the material is build, is a kind of plastic, not premium one, but it is good built. Keyboard is very responsive, strong and good build, defining other negative reviews which they said is a very cheap and unresponsive keyboard. IS NOT. it is really good, only that you have to get used with it, because the keys are very small, but if you can type on a virtual keyboard on 5" phone, you can do it very well into this. I didn't had the chance to drain the whole battery, I didn't used all day, but as far as I notice (at least in windows 10), the battery is really strong and last very long. Right now I am on tablet within more that one hour and I have around 91% battery left, with the light settings set on auto (around 75%) Since the 32GB maybe is not enough for some of you, if you cannot afford higher capacity, it will be very good to add an microSD card with 64GB capacity as I did, and store files, music and documents you have into it. This version which I ordered came with 1 USB 2.0 port as well, I know is not 3.0 but is very welcomed, because If you decide instead to buy a tablet, and a separate keyboard, you will not have and is going to be more expensive. Besides, even with touchscreen in windows 10, is pretty easy, if you are first time user, you have to get used with it. Camera do his job, is not high quality one, not made for selfies, but is alright for skype and other video callings. Web browsing is fast and responsive in chrome and edge as well, music is pretty loud ( I should say, I've notice that the right speaker is not so loud as the left one. maybe there are settings which needs to be done to set it up properly. I won't believe that is a hardware problem but I will check) Is very easy to transport and use it anywhere, on laptop or tablet mode, which is one of the main reason I bought. It do his job, even better that I was expected. I apologies for some English mistake if there is, but this is my review for this ASUS Transformers BOOK, and here i give 5 stars for now. I am happy to respond to any questions you may have related to this product.

Received yesterday. Wouldn't power on at first, left it on charge for an hour before any sign of life. I'm guessing it's been sitting on a shelf for a while. Then it decided to run through the updates. The update process for Win 8.1 constantly failed. It was trying to download Win 10 at the same time which also failed numerous times. I left it run overnight hoping the bloody thing would sort itself out, checked it this morning and lo and behold, the network adapter has stopped working, no connectivity. Change the settings, change them back, nothing. Delete the driver, download drivers to another computer, transfer to USB stick, reinstall, nothing. Try another driver, still nothing. I would find this procedure acceptable on an older machine, I'm familiar with PC's and their little issues, but this is a brand new device! As usual Amazon are first rate with their returns policy and it is on it's way back with a replacement ordered. Hopefully I've had a duff unit. If the next one is the same that will be going back too. If it works as it should I'll amend the rating, but for now, one star it must be. Very disappointed as I've owned many Asus products over the years and always found them excellent. Update; received my replacement last week. After some online research I followed the general consensus and after setup I disabled auto-updates. It appears that quite a number of people have experienced problems after various windows updates. As the machine will mainly be used for internet, email and the like I'm not overly concerned whether the OS is bang up to date. Its been used daily for the past several days and has performed as expected. I've experienced one instance where the keyboard stopped working but simply unplugging and plugging back in sorted this out and it hasn't done it since. My biggest surprise is finally finding a platform that I enjoy using Win 8.1 on! The OS really makes sense on a touch screen device. I feel it suits the tablet perfectly. I'm happy to forgo the upgrade to Win 10 as I don't think it would benefit my use of the tablet for what I use it for. I'm amending my rating to four stars, though I wouldn't recommend it if you want to upgrade to Win 10. Update 19/10/15 - Win 10 installation now completed. Very pleased.

My post may be biased against the item but I do have good reason to give it 3 stars. I ordered the transformer book and it worked. I needed to update it when I had my account verified with Outlook. That worked well. It found the Wifi and logged in successfully. With a minor probem, I found by pressing shift and restart it took it back to factory standard. It then asked to upgrade to Windows 10. So I started the upgrade. This then failed so I tried again. The update did not take hold and tried to refer back to Windows 8.1. This did nothing except cycle on and off for 3 hours. Then I tries the BIOS start. It then crashed showing a blue screen and nothing more. So I requested a replacement and sent it off. The next one came and I put it to power on. It showed a orange light next to the on/off screen. So left it alone for a few hours. Tried to turn it on but it kept flashing. Looked online and found it was a common problem with the battery not powering up. So I requested another and sent that one back. The third one came and when I powered it from the mains it showed another orange light. Left it for an hour and tried it. The orange light kept flashing. So same problem. I then asked for a refund of which was the only option I now had. In all, the product is nice. A very decent sized computer. It is a shame ASUS has these problems. I would say if you get one that works then look after it. It can be problematic according to other forums online. But in all, I never got a chance to see what it was capable of and how well it worked. Will get something like a Lenovo transformer book instead. May be more expensive but they do not have the power problems this one has.
