Manage to grab one unit Asus Transformer Book T100 TA with 32GB eMMC + 500GB running for the first time have 50 percent juice. Material build up feels not as good as my previous Transformer EeePad Prime.

Ipoh have plenty of stocks too.

Surprisingly this machine able to play all my Korean MTV with high bit rate such as Blu-Ray grade MTV sample.

Good transformer. It may be the first model of this kind, but they have set a new trend in Windows base tablet. There will be T100 replacement model next year with this success.

Hell yeah!

Loving it. The best tablet/Netbook combo ever use. Previously Asus product was TF101 then TF201.

32GB EMMC might be a let down but going to grab one Kingmax microSDXC 64GB Class 10 next week. Then ordered 3 pcs of high quality clearn type screen protect. Right now I'm using nexus 10 SP as a temporarily SP

Btw has anyone have any solution on how to uninstall Microsoft Power Point 2013? Want to save some extra storage. Cause Microsoft office 2013 main ingrident I'm going to use is word and excel.

Thanks

Guys, when you put your T100 under sleep mode, does it drain a lot of battery juice?

Cause for my case, during sleep mode. The unit seems hot and draining battery!

How does Asus implement the smart battery hibernate?

I'm searching for solution too.

I've tried ten minutes without dock and sleep mode. Doesn't drain. I'm testing now with keyboard dock and sleep mode. See how it goes.

Unlike windows 7 where I can easily kill the apps I'm running or minimise.

Windows 8.1 seems different.

I wonder where is the claims of having 10 hours usage. Aren't sleep mode suppose to shut off all hardware?

Is the BIOS update 220 suppose to fix this issue?

seriously there is something wrong with the unit.

with the docking in place, it drains about 25% battery juice in sleep mode and i can feel the heat! it seems like there is a bug where the unit wakes itself up! How did I found out? When I flip the lid up, I'm not in standby screen but in my desktop/start window.

Either I have to unplug my tablet during sleep mode or else shut down the tablet.

Is something like back in the days Asus Transformer 1st and 2nd gen use to have problem with dock closed and it wake itself up.

after remove from docking its 53% now.. much much better... cant wait to go home for some SA wit my bro on this rig. gaming for 1 hour uses up 34% yesterday..

TIP:
I'm still having issues with the T100 turning on (and then staying on) by itself.
I think the TF has been in book mode in all of these instances, and am wondering if perhaps the fit is tight enough that little bumps can activate some of the keys while it is in my bag (which would take the tablet out of sleep mode and drain the battery). A few times, I've taken the tablet out and found it very warm too.
Is there any way to not have the tablet come out of sleep when a key is pressed?

--> Go to the Device Manager, find the Keyboard device, right click and choose Properties and on one of the tabs there should be something like "let the device to wake the system". Untick that.

I've tried seems not helping either.

I've set it not to wake up when keyboard keys in. Restart the unit, same thing.

I've try opening a bit by not trigger standby mode display. Then the moment I press on any keyboard button, the screen lights up!

Even pressing the "start" button also turns on the screen.

Is boring to have the unit sleep mode on dock mode but drain a lot of battery and the unit is very warm.

I found out another problem.

When I move the cursor to battery indicator. I was surprise to see it's not charging and percentage stays there. But when I open the battery menu & close it, it updates the battery percentage status that is telling me it's charging. Not the fastest charging I've seen. Slow even is output is 5V 3amps! That should be faster charging than iPad 5V 2.1amps. It seems that previous T100 model without hard disk docking keyboard is using Asus 5v 2amp adapter. Only this new batch comes with 5V 3amp and no ASUS logo!

Okay. I will give it a try.

I've tried charging my tablet with dock on using Sony Xperia microUSB cable since is thick! And use my 10400mah power bank with 2.1amp power. It charge but damn slow with 1 percent roughly 30mins!

The only thing I hate about this tablet is just touch pad seems not sensitive and everytime I click either left or right button seems to shift the mouse pointer.

Secondly is the sleep mode battery drain. When I shut off the unit in dock mode from morning till now, no drain.

The battery drain is with the keyboard dock. Confirm because today I try to put it on standby from morning until now. Still got 91% remaining.

You mean you on standby without the dock right?

Other than this problem, I'm perfectly happy with this unit than the W4

Issue not really big problem...
battery need to improve... SOT is not really thar lasting...
screen too dim? I do not think so maybe cos I seldom use under the sun...
BTW there is rumors that 64GB will be available with 500GB HDD also... Shitz...

Agreed. Nothing big issue with the T100. I'm happy with the unit other than battery management issue.

Dim light on screen, you won't be under hot bright sun to use your T100 right? The screen is indeed bright enough for outdoor usage.

Bro, forget about the 64Gb with 500GB. It will take weeks or months to arrive. 32GB still okay
