I have lived with anemic processors and memory for quite a while now. Processor wise the T300 is a HUGE step forward from the T100. Sadly the on screen keyboard does not scale down well in cases like this, still taking a large part of the useable space. Screen resolution is 2560×1440 which is terrific! The high resolution screen does have a downside, buttons to click are smaller in some cases then they ought to be making it harder to use as a touch screen. T300 317 x 191 x 16 mm) with keyboard 0.28 without Not to say the T300 is heavy but it isn’t light either. The weight difference on the lap is quite noticeable. T300 720g Vs 570g (without the keyboard The T300 is 1430g with the keyboard). And the keyboard can be used while charging. If the T300’s dock is as good as the T100 I get weeks out of a charge. So no connector to wear out as it did on the T100TA. Like the T100 the connection between the dock and the tablet is magnets (ie no physical lock) and Bluetooth. But how many people are going to own a T100 and a T300 anyway so this is a who cares … They actually magnetically repel each other. The spacing and magnets of the T100/T300 are not compatible (meaning you can not put the T100 on the T300s dock. Even slide two fingers down as a page up/down doesn’t work. The track point however does not seem to be a multi point and lacks gestures. It is a lot more rigid than that of the T100 (something I complained about on the T100). With the exception of enter and the shift keys are larger on the T300 the keyboard is the same as the T100 (albeit bigger keys). The keys on the T300 are for the most part in exactly the same spot as the T100. The one I got is an English/French keyboard (unfortunately). Asus stretched the size of the keys on the keyboard rather than reorganize them into a more normal orientation. The one on the T300 is 12.2 Vs 10.1 inch on the T100, and the size increase is surprisingly noticeable. After getting my Asus Vivotab note fixed a pen portable device was less important so I can now choose a larger screen. At 999 I wouldn’t consider it but at 569 it is a real contender. The regular price is 999 and I scooped it from nMicroVip for $569.

I will update once I’ve lived with it for a while.Īfter I bought a T100 Chi I got a shot at a refurb T300 Chi (I will refer to it as the T300 from here in to save typing, but be aware there is a T300 (non chi)). This is an early release of my review, put out for a bud that wanted to hear my thoughts.
