ASUS har for nylig lanceret tre nye enheder, der fuldender deres Transformer -serie. Flagskibet i denne produktlinje er T300 Chi : en 2-i-1-enhed med Windows 8.1 installeret og den nye Intel Core M - processor. Så snart vi hørte om det, ville vi teste det. Efter at have brugt det i mere end en uge, er vi klar til at dele vores dom. Læs videre for at finde ud af, om ASUS T300 Chi er værd at købe eller ej.

Udpakning af Asus Transformer Book T300

Enheden leveres pakket ind i et plastikbeskyttelsesdæksel, inde i en sort boks. Sammen med tabletten og tastaturet finder du også opladeren, en USB til mini - USB - dongle, et mikro - USB -kabel, en velcro-kabelstyringsrem og en renseklud.

Sammen med tilbehøret får du også det sædvanlige papirarbejde: garantien og brugervejledninger til både docken og tabletten.

Den T300 Chi , som vi har testet, kom ikke i den traditionelle detailpakke, så desværre havde vi kun enheden og opladeren at lege med.

Hardware specifikationer

Hardwarespecifikationerne for den model, vi har gennemgået, er følgende: en 12,5" WQHD -skærm med en opløsning på 2560x1440 og anstændige betragtningsvinkler, en dual core Intel M 5Y71 CPU klokket til 1,2 GHz med Intel HD Graphics , 4GB RAM -hukommelse ( LPDDR3 ), clocket til 1600 MHz og en 128 GB SanDisk SSD Du kan udvide lagerpladsen via den integrerede SD-kortlæser.

Selve tabletten indeholder to sidevendte højttalere og en mikrofon. Dens størrelse er 317,8 x 191,6 x 16,5 mm ( bredde x dybde x højde^{(Width x Depth x Height)} ), inklusive tastaturet. Det er 12,5 x 7,5 x 0,6 tommer. Vægten af ​​hele enheden, inklusive tastaturet, er 1,43 kg (3,45 pund).

Enheden drives af et 32 ​​Wh-^(Whrs) batteri, og der er endnu et batteri i tastaturet, da vi taler om et bluetooth-tastatur.

Med hensyn til tilslutningsmuligheder inkluderer ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi to Micro USB -porte placeret på højre side af tabletten, en 802.11ac-kompatibel trådløs netværksadapter og en Bluetooth 4.0 - chip.

Til multimedieformål inkluderede ASUS også en mikro-HDMI-port placeret på højre side af tabletten nær 3,5 mm combo lydstikket.

På venstre side af tabletten kan du finde startknappen^(Start) og lydstyrkeknappen sammen med strømstikket. På oversiden af ​​tavlen finder du strømafbryderen, der fungerer som en låseknap.

Operativsystemet, der er forudinstalleret på den enhed, vi testede, er Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Andre versioner af denne enhed leveres med Windows 8.1 .

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi fås i to lagerkonfigurationer, en med en 64 GB SSD og en med en 128 GB SSD . Du kan finde dens officielle hardwarespecifikationer her: ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi-specifikationer^{(ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi Specifications)} .

Brug af ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi

Vi har brugt ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi til en relativt bred vifte af opgaver, herunder at læse og sende e-mails, oprette forbindelse til sociale netværk, surfe på nettet, streame videoer, se HD-videoer, skrive artikler og endda nogle lette spilsessioner.

Transformer Book T300 Chi^{(Transformer Book T300 Chi)} skuffer ikke ydelsesmæssigt, men imponerer heller ikke rigtigt. Core M CPU'en^{(Core M CPU)} parret med 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM^{(LPDDR3 RAM)} havde ikke nogen form for problemer, når de kørte nogen Windows -apps, men mere krævende desktop-applikationer, såsom foto- eller videoredigeringssoftware, kan være lidt for meget til det.

Desktopversioner af Skype , Office 2013 , Steam , Winamp , flere webbrowsere, IrfanView eller SnagIt kørte dog alle fejlfrit.

Den første ulempe, du vil støde på, når du bruger denne enhed, er, at det stort set er umuligt at åbne den med én hånd. Tabletten er tungere end docken og meget tykkere, hvilket gør det obligatorisk at holde docken på plads, mens du løfter låget.

Skærmen er sprød og lys, men den ser overmættet ud, så afhængigt af hvor meget fan du er af dette aspekt, vil du enten elske den eller hade den.

Opløsningen er ret stor for en 12,5 tommer skærm. At bruge 2560x1440 på en så lille skærm er både godt og dårligt. Selvom det får detaljerne til at se meget klarere og mere naturlige ud, får det også desktop-applikationer til at se dårlige ud. Dette sker på grund af den skaleringsproces, som operativsystemet bruger. Desværre, selvom Windows 8.1 skalerer godt, er der kun få desktop-applikationer, der kan gøre dette ordentligt. Derfor anbefaler vi at bruge opløsningen 1920x1080 med et lavere skaleringsniveau, hvis du for eksempel skal bruge software som Adobe Photoshop .

ASUS valgte at bruge den nye Intel Core M - processor til T300 Chi . Hvad du skal huske på er, at Core M er designet til mobilitet på bekostning af ydeevne. Det er en anstændig CPU til kontorarbejde, men forvent ikke, at den gør underværker i alle mulige scenarier. Det bliver også ret varmt, da det ikke bruger en køleventilator. Det er også grunden til, at vi ikke anbefaler at bruge T300 Chi i sin tablet-tilstand i længere perioder: det bliver ret ubehageligt at holde.

Bluetooth-tastaturet er en meget fin tilføjelse, da du kan bruge det til flere enheder, hvis du vil. Den har også en mikro-USB-opladningsport, som du kan bruge til at oplade den, når den er løbet tør for juice. En ting, som vi ville have værdsat, var brugen af ​​et baggrundsbelyst tastatur.

Tastatur-dockingsystemet bruger et par magnetiske hængsler, som på den model, vi har testet, var en smule vaklende. Dette fik hele enheden til at se lidt mindre robust ud, end vi havde ønsket os.

Touchpad'en fungerer godt, men i betragtning af størrelsen anbefaler vi at bruge en Bluetooth -mus.

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi er en ganske elegant hybridenhed. Så længe du ikke forventer avanceret ydeevne, vil det helt sikkert få jobbet gjort.^{(The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi is quite an elegant hybrid device.

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi Review - Good Looks Meet The Intel Core M CPU

ASUS haѕ recently launchеd three new devices that complеte their Trаnsformer series. The flagship of this product line is the T300 Chi: a 2-in-1 device with Windowѕ 8.1 іnstallеd and thе new Intel Core M processor. As soon as we heard about it, we wanted to test it. After using it for more than a week, we're ready to share our verdict. Read on to learn whether the ASUЅ T300 Chі is worth buying or not.

Unboxing The Asus Transformer Book T300

The device comes wrapped in a plastic protective cover, inside a black box. Along with the tablet and the keyboard you'll also find the charger, a USB to mini-USB dongle, a micro-USB cable, a velcro cable management strap and a cleaning cloth.

Along with the accessories you'll also get the usual paperwork: the warranty and user guides for both the dock and the tablet.

The T300 Chi that we've tested did not come in the traditional retail package, so unfortunately, we only had the device and the charger to play with.

Hardware Specifications

The hardware specifications of the model we reviewed are the following: a 12.5" WQHD screen with a 2560x1440 resolution and decent viewing angles, a dual core Intel M 5Y71 CPU clocked at 1.2 GHz with Intel HD Graphics, 4GB of RAM memory (LPDDR3), clocked at 1600 MHz and a 128 GB SanDisk SSD. You can expand the storage space via the integrated SD card reader.

The tablet itself includes two side facing speakers and a microphone. Its size is 317.8 x 191.6 x 16.5 mm (Width x Depth x Height), including the keyboard. That's 12.5 x 7.5 x 0.6 inches. The weight of the entire device, including the keyboard, is 1.43 kg (3.45 pounds).

The device is powered by a 32 Whrs battery and there's another battery in the keyboard, since we're talking about a bluetooth keyboard.

In terms of connectivity, the ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi includes two Micro USB ports located on the right side of the tablet, a 802.11ac compatible wireless network adapter and a Bluetooth 4.0 chip.

For multimedia purposes, ASUS also included a micro-HDMI port located on the right side of the tablet near the 3.5mm combo audio jack.

On the left side of the tablet you can find the Start button and the volume rocker, together with the power connector. On the top side of the slate you'll find the power switch, which doubles as a lock button.

The operating system preinstalled on the device we tested is Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Other versions of this device come with Windows 8.1.

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi is available in two storage configurations, one with a 64GB SSD and one with a 128GB SSD. You cand find its official hardware specifications here: ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi Specifications.

Using the ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi

We have been using the ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi for a relatively wide array of tasks including reading and sending emails, connecting to social networks, browsing the web, streaming videos, watching HD videos, writing articles and even some light gaming sessions.

The Transformer Book T300 Chi doesn't disappoint in terms of performance, but doesn't really impress either. The Core M CPU paired with the 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM didn't have any kind of problem when running any Windows apps, but more demanding desktop applications, such as photo or video editing software might be a bit too much for it.

However, desktop versions of Skype, Office 2013, Steam, Winamp, multiple web browsers, IrfanView or SnagIt, all ran flawlessly.

The first downside you'll encounter when using this device is that it's pretty much impossible to open it with one hand. The tablet is heavier than the dock and much thicker, which makes it mandatory to keep the dock in place while lifting the lid.

The screen is crisp and bright, but it does look over-saturated, so depending on how much of a fan you are of this aspect, you'll either love it or hate it.

The resolution is quite big for a 12.5 inch screen. Using 2560x1440 on a screen this small is both good and bad. While it does make details look a lot clearer and more natural, it also makes desktop applications look bad. This happens because of the scaling process that the operating system uses. Unfortunately, even if Windows 8.1 scales well, there are only a few desktop applications that can do this properly. This is why we recommend using the 1920x1080 resolution with a lower scaling level if you need to use software such as Adobe Photoshop, for example.

ASUS chose to use the new Intel Core M processor for the T300 Chi. What you need to keep in mind is that Core M is designed for mobility at the expense of performance. It's a decent CPU for office work, but don't expect it to work wonders in every possible scenario. It also gets quite hot, since it doesn't use a cooling fan. This is also why we don't recommend using the T300 Chi in its tablet mode for long periods of time: it gets quite uncomfortable to hold.

The bluetooth keyboard is a very nice addition, since you can use it for multiple devices if you want. It also has a micro-USB charging port that you'll use to charge it when it's out of juice. One thing that we would have appreciated was the use of a backlit keyboard.

The keyboard docking system uses a pair of magnetic hinges which, on the model that we've tested, were a bit wobbly. This made the whole device look a little less sturdy than what we wished for.

The touchpad works well, but given its size we recommend using a Bluetooth mouse.

The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi is quite an elegant hybrid device. As long as you don't expect high-end performance, it will surely get the job done.
