Having owned a Surface Pro and a Surface Pro 3, I've become quite addicted to using a pen for writing notes on the screen. When I saw this little notebook announced, I figured I'd keep an eye on it and watch what Asus brought to the table. I've purchased several Asus computers before and I have never been disappointed. Now on to talking about this computer...

Pros:

+ No Bloatware
First of all, the computer is a nice little computer with very little bloatware. I was up and running in a few minutes and my account synced up as I knew it would thanks to Windows.

+No slowdowns
One of the main concerns I had with the computer was whether or not it would show much slowdown, but so far this little guy is running strong and I've had several tabs open in both Chrome and Edge.

I'm a 17 year computer professional and had just had a major failure of my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 128GB, and the Microsoft store wanted to charge me $800 to replace the failed SSD. I had only got about 72 hours of actual runtime out of the thing, since I prefer to do most of my work on my desktop. The ASUS Transformer Mini is an AWESOME deal for the price and performance.

Let me start off by saying that I do not play video games on my computer. For this I usually use my phone or the old dusty PS3. If you are looking for a portable gaming device, this isn't it. Go look at the nvidia line. Otherwise, this tablet computer is the best of both worlds.

Size: Many of the other 2 in 1 devices I have tried are just too big and heavy to hold. You need a desk or a table to set them on. Surface Pro 3 & 4, Lenovo MIIX 700, ASUS Transfromer 3 Pro, I'm looking at you! This 10.1 device is very easy to hold and is light weight for it's size. It feels similar in size to the original iPad. Not the iPad mini or that other 12" monstrosity but the original size.

Keyboard: This is a source of contention for many of the people that have reviewed this unit. What they all seem to neglect is the fact that if you are on the go and using the device, the keyboard works fine. If you are going to do any sort of "real work" then just use a nice full... Read more
