Case, Display, Haptics, Dock
ASUS equipped the
Transformer Pad TF300T with a casing made of plastics and aluminium which provides
the tablet with good enough stability. Furthermore this tablet is available in
two different colors. On one hand you can get it with a stylish white painting
and on the other hand you can go for the blue option. What we didn't like too much is that the backside has been
curved a
bit. On the other hand there is the surface with its circular pattern that
offers good grip.
The
display comes with 10.1 inch size and 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. This means
that you get 16:10 aspect ratio which makes it very comfortable to watch videos
if you're on the way. Regarding the display ASUS chose an IPS panel this time.
Concerning the last Transformer tablet we tested we were complaining about the
display but this time they chose really a good model. Therefore it doesn't
matter if you look at the contrast ratio or the brightness. Everything is on a
very reasonable level and you can use the TF300T everywhere. Of course there is
a glare type display but thanks to the brightness level you'll be able to use
the TF300T outside in the sun too.
Also
the different buttons as well as the additional ports are very well built and
they perfectly fit into the case.
Dock
The best thing about the
Transformer Pad TF300 is that you have the possibility to convert this thing from
a tablet to a netbook within seconds. Using the dock you can then comfortably
write even longer texts. For this purpose you get a QWERTY-keyboard and last but
not least there also is second battery pack in the dock. According to the
manufacturer you can get up to sixteen hours of battery life if you have the
tablet in the dock.
