Yeah, using recover image would be better. You should be able to use Windows Recovery Disk creator to make it.

No keyboard dock....I asked already

hi guys..can this baby do torrent?
im a noob...

anyone here has upgraded to windows 8 pro? I need to do that soon as I need "XP Mode" and I was wondering whether we have to stick to 32 bit or can this machine support 64 bit like the Surface Pro?

But according to Intel specs the 3740 does support 64bit.

http://ark.intel.com/products/76759/Intel-...1_86-GHz?q=3740

so can install windows 8.1 pro 32 bit right?

managed to play around with the unit for a few hours... and getting myself familiar with the T100 and also Windows 8.1...

i'd say this is the way forward with laptops -- combination of both touch screen + keyboard.

feels kinda light. as for the glossy surface, coming from Dell Mini 10v, its not that much of a different Dell Mini 10v also had that similar glossy casing.

it does feel a bit sluggish at times, but as it is, i'm surprised it can run Windows 8.1 quite well. the lag, is only occasionally, when i was trying to exit Excel and then launch IE.

only thing is still trying to get used to START screen vs DESKTOP screen. both... when you swipe from right, gives you some different options. like DEVICE MANAGER, you get that from DESKTOP screen.

i only wish there's like a FILE MANAGER/ EXPLORER (to find the drives) on START screen. coz as it is... I can live without DESKTOP screen (i only access DESKTOP to get to FILE MANAGER... maybe can find a similar apps later coz only played with it a few hours)

not so nice are the games... Wow... Not that many free games. Heck, even Angry Bird series are not free?!? Asphalt is free on Google, but still need to pay here. I thought MS had lots of money to throw at developers and make their store more 'attractive'. on the plus side, can see some XBOX-labelled games.

setting up account is kinda easy. if only it allowed non-MS accounts, but that's not really a problem coz with emails, you can link Gmail account/ email to MS account (MSN, Outlook.com, etc). so, after creating a local account during initial setup, I migrated to outlook.com account instead. then added Gmail account to the Outlook.com account.

keyboard... its quite decent for small-sized keyboards. i never liked mini keyboards but this is still ok.

i'll probably try out more features later this week when i can get my hands on the unit (it's not mine). wanna try out:
* connecting external harddisk, usb hubs, etc..
* outdoor usage (see how long battery can last)
* gaming <-- just found out Red Alert is made a freeware
* touchpas gestures <-- seems there's a lot that can be done using the touchpad. read that from the manual

speaking of manual... the manual states that the charger output is 2A, though it may look different from one country to another. my unit... the charger does not have any ASUS label. secondly, its output is rated 3A.

can anyone please help confirm this is correct -- charger output is 3A?

the unit i got is a SenHeng unit. so supposed to be official local unit.

oh, ok... will check it out. i was looking at the apps and could not find anything like File Manager, My Computer... Hmmm... later i got look for THIS PC... hahaha...

thanks.

ok, thanks... maybe i missed this one out coz i was just quickly looking around for "My computer" or anything that looks like it... hahaha... Din really see "THIS PC".

btw, can you help me check the charger that you got with your unit? It's rated 3A for output?

i know its no big issue whether 2A or 3A, but just recall document stated 2A but the one I got is 3A.

video playback...

the Video player on START is kinda lousy. can't detect and play MKV.

installed K-Lite codec basic. Setup the Windows Media Player (from DESKTOP)... and not bad... can play MKV. ultimate test is when i run a 1080 movie. will download and try it out and see how well it performs.

so far, 720p movies... all good. <--more than 1GB in size

hmm... just sharing. seems there is a free version of Asphalt 7 -- Special promo for Asus. not sure if its full version, etc... still downloading.

still exploring windows 8.1. but i kinda like it. but just curious... is there an easy way to get to START screen?

currently, with dock, then just tap on the WINDOWS key. <-- 1 step

but from touchscreen, need to:
1. swipe from right side of screen,
2. then touch START <-- seems can't slide the finger
(two steps)
but i guess if one wanna go the traditional way (install via exe files from net/ DVD/CD), then it is possible not to use the MS accounts, right? but i think even mail, etc can still work (meaning opt not to use MS account as T100 login).

just wondering... that all.

ya, tested... 720p. smooth. as for 1080p... died-ed. can see the movie is 'jerky'. i was testing it with a 11GB Avatar file (mkv).

so, ok la... since screen also not fullHD.  but just need to find a good combo coz currently, using Windows Media Player, somehow, can't get it to display full screen (based on actual video size <-- not sure if you know what i mean -- basically want the whole screen showing media player without the system tray, and if the video does not fill up screen, due to lower resolution, then show black box). i guess still need to play around and explore a bit.

i'm using klite codec to decode.

which reminds me... it seems there are two video players -- one is the Windows Media Player accessible from DESKTOP and the other is the VIDEO player, from START. haiz... so confusing. i've yet to find a way to make the VIDEO player (from START) to detect and play MKV files.
ah... thanks.

coz the buttons on the tablet... i find them a bit flimsy and hard to press.
