Updated to differentiate the price of the T100 with 500GB harddisk in the keyboard with the older T100 model without the harddisk

********************************************************************

REMINDER

There are people reporting that some hardware in T100 not functioning after driver updates. One of the hardware is the touchscreen.

SO THINK VERY HARD before you update device drivers. This is how the optional driver list looks like. Again, do not attempt to fix things that ain't broken. If you device is working fine, only run the IMPORTANT updates and leave the optional updates be - especially device drivers. Cheers

Attached thumbnail(s)

summary - I think I found my first windows tablet

also if you check the processor spec sheet - the resolution supported is up to QHD. RAM supported is up to 4G. Asus is limiting the spec to keep price low.

Intel also mention that comes early 2014, bay trail should be able to support 64bit. maybe when that time comes, we will see T100 bumped up to 4g of RAM and running Windows 8.1 64bit

With full Office 2013 and the keyboard included -- we might need to queue on launch date to get the tablet

Sad part it has 1 full size USB. I need at least 2 USB, and don't like to carry those USB extender.

yupe - maybe the will sell an additional keyboard with battery and 3 USB ports, a WAN port and a multi card reader . omg omg omg omg .

Can't wait to get hands on this thing. Any news about the release date and price ?

available when Windows 8.1 is out. Its basically waiting for Windows 8.1 release by Microsoft. US price is US349. Should be cheaper in Malaysia

I will wait for the 4GB version.
That would definitely help me a lot with SQL Server + VB tasks.

T300? a 13.3" i5 o i7 fourth gen Hasswell tablet/laptop hybrid?

http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/asus-trans...7-35827199.html

Don't quite see the value of it at that price (T300 goes for above RM4k doesn't it?).

If they have the T100 with 4GB at below RM2000, it's a no brainer purchase for me. The additional 2GB of RAM would help immensely when I do debugging/code patching (with SQL Server running on the background) when I am on the run. I might be able to make do with 2GB, but most likely I'd need to start paging when I fire up VB Studio.

Thanks for the intro of the T300 though. It definitely is a powerhouse!

me think the reason it has only 2G of ram is because the processor does not support 64bit at launch = no 64bit OS why bother with 4G of ram right

me thinking of Quarter 1 of 2014 to see if there will be any T100 upgrade. Intel said the new ATOM processor will support 64bit next year.

ASUS Malaysia just launched the model available Oct 18 (tomorrow)

RM1299
32G model

http://www.lowyat.net/2013/10/17/14025/asu...ce-in-malaysia/

it mentions 1GB RAM only? typo perhaps?

This post has been edited by ajay67: Oct 17 2013, 03:39 PM

1G Ram Only?may i know where can grab this??

its 2GB DDR3L - the link you quote have typo error

DDR or SSD?

SSD for RAM?? where got?

got 2 gb ssd ?

this vs microsoft surface pro, which better?

omaigod... seems nice.. now just waiting for the performance review

It was prophesied Intel Atom should to be dead by now.
Why is it still alive and kicking? Dang... quad-core some more.

This post has been edited by ALeUNe: Oct 17 2013, 07:34 PM

Because its suitable as SOC for tablet ? and capable to run x64 platform software ?

anyone know somewhere they have stock of this in KL?

surface pro 1st runs on i5 processor and 5hr on battery life

today first day of availability ii I suspect all shops at Lowyat are busy updating their price/product list .. we shall wait and see

will also keep an eye on online retailers to see which get their hands of this baby first

That's because Intel finally realise if they don't pick up the slack, they will be shut off the tablet / phablet (whatever name we want to call it).
This Bay Trail Atom is manufactured on 22nm process (same as Haswell), same IGPU as HD4000 but less powerful, and support both W8 AND Android. (there was a rumour that Asus was planning a model that can dual boot to W8 and Android. probably did not pan out)
The giant is not going down without a fight

The Netbook is dead.
Long Live the "Netbook"

TS, full review is this?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7428/asus-tr...ook-t100-review

Still waiting for the Dell Venue with 1080p screen.
768p is lousy

Can I know will be able to install win8 apps straight into the microSD card or must be an external HDD? And is the processor and 2GB RAM enough to install some usual windows app like vlc player, iTunes, or most apps in the win app store?

ASUS added the product ad to its youtube page

Official ASUS product ad

And furthermore T100 price is half of the Surface Pro price

This post has been edited by raoul: Oct 21 2013, 05:49 PM

anyone knw which shop hav the stock?

no where to be seen in store yet. I checked the price lists of shops in lowyat - la nada!

saw one unit in Midvalley ASUS shop 2nd level. Opening price 1399 after confronted reduced to 1299 without freebies.. (mouse, bag, etc)

this tablet is great. it only lacks RAM and HD size. else, its beautiful

Well, 2GB is sufficient for normal tasks, especially if you don't ask too much of it (ie, less open browser tabs, less multi tasking) as for storage space. Just get a MicroSD card.

How about the 64 bit version with 4gb ram? I read somewhere that Asus gonna release around early next year

64BIT or 64GB ? 4GB of RAM on a Netbook... hard to believe we've come this far if it's true.

Is this NOT 64bit?

I think the price is definitely a killer.. 32GB not an issue since you can expand with the MicroSD slot with another 64GB...

I like the fact that it is less than 600 grams for the tablet only...

No 4GB RAM, part of reason is it is running 32-bit W8.1.
Why 32-bit W8.1? Because that is the current version of W8.1 that support "connected standby" (a power management feature).

this will be the best deal among all tablets

can we install normal x86 program for pc on this intel atom tablet?

programs that you can install on Windows 7 - you can install on this device

anyone knows where can i acquire one around subang / sunway area? look promising enough with this price tag and specs. given.

Noted.. tq for the info.

anyone bought it yet?
any review?

it's either this or dell venue pro 11. on paper the dell is better but waiting for full review on both

but dell venue pro 11 price much higher right?

donno yet but the price should proportionate with the higher spec. asus also have higher spec T100 model

What is "connected standby" ? Fancy tech talk for describing an x86 OS that can instantly turn on and off like an iPad, and can receive Skype calls and notifications when it's 'off' just like an ipad.

All sold out. Asus RRP is RM1299 and they sell at RM1399...hebat

Dell is heavier, full HD screen, but definitely more expensive. T100 is definitely on my list due to the fact that its lightweight, and runs full x86 programs.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...em-requirements

You are right, but to clarify, when W8.1 64 bit with connected standby is available, T100 will fully support it as the Bay Trail CPU is 64 bit capable, and W8.1 needs 2GB ram to run 64 bit version

This T100 looking better and better

impact battery runtime

64bit W8 support for connected standby, 2014 maybe.

Venue Pro has 8" and 11" models

He was talking about 11"
I was responding about 11"



I said FHD screen, does the 8" have FHD screen? No right? People comparing apple and oranges, you keluar a durian.

This post has been edited by Jason: Oct 23 2013, 07:23 PM

Buddy, I was just commenting that Venue Pro has 8" and 11". Which part of that sentence is so offending?

What's wrong with comparing T100 with Venue Pro 8" when both has HD screen?

T100 is available in only 1 form factor, whereas Venue Pro has 2, which mean more choices.

I'm not here to pitch 1 brand over another, just having a cordial discussion.

agree, btw do keep me updated about comparison between these two.

the price is certainly appealing. cheaper than surface pro. of coz surface pro comes with i5. and these two is with atom procs.

ASUS has T100 and T300

T300 is a 13" summore running on 4th gen Haswell processors

anyhow Asus manage to come up with the SHITTIEST website to promote Transformers Book range of windows hybrid products!! http://transformerbook.asus.com/#home

This post has been edited by g5sim: Oct 23 2013, 08:29 PM

Exactly. T300 is on Haswell i3/5/7, similarly Venue Pro 11 has Haswell i3 and i5 spec.
Whereas Venue Pro 8 is on Bay Trail (comparable to T100).

T300 sure is unique form factor for 13".

Btw, Venue 8 Pro is going at USD299 now but no keyboard, no Office, stylus need to add USD35.

This post has been edited by g5sim: Oct 27 2013, 06:15 PM

this is a very good companion product if you looking for a Windows tablet for on the move productivity... the BayTrail Atom really improves from the CloverTrail Atom by a yardstick as I have used the Samsung Ativ Smart before this... dun get me wrong that you cannot compare this to a normal notebook running Core series processor, but it good enough for moderate usage of browsing, video streaming, watching 1280p movies, MS Office works and etc...

i wonder how much space is left if we buy the 32gb version. more importantly if it has enough space for windows update

oh yeah. I just noticed the link is selling the 32GB version.

A quick look on asus fb, they said the 32gb will have 14gb of free space.

Hi everyone if you're going to buy this please prepare to get conned. Shop in sunway is selling the t100 without its office serial number. To get it, customer must buy the item at 1599. If customer wants to buy at rm1299 the office serial number will not be included.

They are blaming Asus itself for misleading customers. Why so many conn men in sunway...

noted. ts. put it in the 1st post

added to first post

that's crazy. they want to get quick profit but they are losing customers

Too bad only one USB port.

one Micro USB 2.0
one full size USB 3.0 on the keyboard

Yeah, only one standard USB port. Too bad.

I just got mine last night!
Spent the whole night charging it because they don't come pre-charged. So not much chance to play around with it much.
But overall so far, very nice!


After installing some of the apps including the Office, it's left with about 11+GB

Just buy the pack with it pre-sealed. and only ask the seller to open the package when you buy them. The Licence key should be inside.

The micro USB port is also used for charging.
So if you really need to use plenty of USB items, I suggest getting a Hub to work with the USB 3.0 on the keyboard.

Here are some of my thoughts so far
Pros:
Very Very lightweight for a full Windows experience.
Great screen display
Great battery life.
solid feel, except for it being a fingerprint magnet.

Cons:
Slow charging.
Keyboard layout needs getting used to. (I'm used to quality keyboards since I'm using a Thinkpad, which is about the same as a macbook)
Touch pad is not as sensitive as a good laptop's touchpad
Bundled Micro USB cable is short.

I heard that open box left around 16GB space, is that include Office? or we need install the MS Office ourselves?

where did you buy the device?

me think without Office 2013 installed. in one of the review videos - the reviewer was installing the app.

We need to install it ourselves.

Gadget Zone, Gurney Plaza, Penang.

Bought it at full retail price of RM1299. Since most of the other places I went to said that they are sold out and purchase orders are needed.

Oh, And By the way, The Chip already supports 64bit.

Do you put any screen protector for the tablet?

How fast from cool boot up untill access window?

can faster than a conventional i series laptop with HDD?

The first time would take about a few minutes.
subsequently should only need a few seconds to a minute.

But actually, I don't shut it down. I just let it sleep when I'm not using it. It starts up almost instantly.

It's obviously faster than a conventional HDD. Slower than a SSD though.

After read all the posts from u guys , i also feel like going to get one but this is it support stylus as well?

No, this one doesn't support a digitizer stylus.

anybody knows where can i get this tablet in KL? went to few shops in midvalley, mines, etc. all dont have stocks~ how come so many shops dont have stock yet ah?

you checked The Mines and Midvalley already. SO i go look see look see at Lowyat Plaza and Times Square this weekend.

this weekend got pc expo at midvalley.. maybe got some stock over there

How come Asus website is not showing this tablet?
