Hardware design

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T’s design is not much different from high-end tablet Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. ASUS TF300T is still a hybrid design between a traditional tablet with a touch screen and a keyboard dock to become a lightweight ultrathin laptop.

ASUS TF300T has beautiful form, advanced with three red, white, and blue. The version that we assess is red, 32 GB capacity. With 263 x 180.8 x 9.9 mm of size, this tablet is larger and thicker than the iPad 3 and wider than the Asus Eee Pad transformer senior Prime. TF300T also thicker than the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the iPad 2 has a thickness of 8.6 mm and 8.8 mm. TF300T tablet portion itself weighs 635 g, a little lighter than the iPad 3 (652 g); however, if the tablet is plugged into the keyboard dock, the total weight for both will amount to more than 1 kg equivalent to a current ultrabook.

The back of the ASUS TF300T is made of concentric circles textured plastic with scratch resistance and a handgrip when holding the machine with him, and help the outside become more polished when viewed in the sun. The hard metal bezel is painted the same color as the cable front cover and the overall product. The rounded corners create a soft feel.

Above the back of the TF300T has an 8-megapixel camera with a 5-element lens, a large aperture F / 2.2, and a BSI sensor (back-illuminated sensor), but the lack of flash may make it difficult to manage when shooting in low light. Speaker slots are located at the left edge of the back cover.

Loudspeaker placement adjacent to the left side is so irrational because when holding the tablet horizontally on hand, your right hand will obscure the diaphragm and affect the sound output. Of course, you can avoid this problem by having the camera vertically, but it would be better if this speaker ASUS put slot machines on the top or bottom. But with only one speaker volume and sound quality, ASUS SonicMaster technology, thanks to helping improve good quality. With external speakers, big sound output, not being shy at the highest volume level will help you experience the musical music or enjoy action films with spectacular sound.

The back edge of the tablet is slightly beveled, but the hand does not feel slippery as the Transformer Prime and iPad 3 are made of plastic through the outer surface textured to help grip the needle. The advantage of this design is to help TF300T chamfered “morph” into a beautiful clamshell laptop while tied to the dock and folded.

Overall the exterior design beautiful, certainly, feels this is a high-end products and luxury. Who first exposed the machine will assume that this is a netbook rather than a traditional tablet when the tablet into the keyboard dock insert. A tablet is thin, but the TF300T is full of ports and hardware buttons like most other tablets.

Besides, on the top cover off button, power button on the screen concurrently. This button design is long, easy to press, and is especially susceptible to absolutely no difficulty when you are on or off the screen. Also, on the top edge of the machine has a microphone to record sound when you are filming.

The bottom edge of the slot machines has three; this is the point of contact between the tablet with keyboard dock. Located close to the edge of the bottom edge, you’ll see a small white triangle pointing downwards and at the top edge of the keyboard dock also has a similar triangle pointing up.

When you need to insert the tablet into the dock, you only need to pair the tablet with a dock so that the position of two triangles is pointed at each other and slowly press down lightly until the tablet snaps the port and the lock slide to the right. When you need to remove the tablet from the dock, you slide the lock from right to left and gently pulled away from the pier.

Keyboard Dock

Dock TF300T is quite similar to the Transformer Prime tablet includes full-sized keyboard letter keys, number keys, function (Fn) key, Home, Search, navigation, and hotkeys to turn off wifi, Bluetooth, touchpad … According to our comments, the dock keyboard design is very user-friendly, and you can easily find the hotkeys toggles the fastest basic functions.

Dock TF300T is not merely a physical keyboard more convenient to help you enter data or use the machine for a long time without holding hands, but also includes a backup battery charger for the battery ready when attached to the dock. Also, at the edges of the keyboard dock are equipped with cum charging port, and PC port status LEDs (left side), SD memory card reader, and USB port (right side) help users easily connect tablets to other peripherals. The underside is a completely closed dock; only two asterisks and four screws with a rubber base help prevent scratches you put on the desk.

Besides the keyboard, the tablet dock is equipped with a touchpad to help you mouse on the screen and easy to run applications like using a laptop. Size large enough and sensitive touchpad to manipulate the touchpad controls are not any problems.

We like to use the keyboard dock in the presence of an SD card reader and USB port next to the right. You are in travel, and you shoot a lot of photos with the camera suddenly full memory cards. Plug the memory card into the SD card slot to view and transfer photos to the tablet to make storage for shooting new images. Also good USB port for users to an office every time you need to plug USB data exchange or connect a wireless mouse with the tablet when you are not familiar with touchpad operation.

In general, this tablet comes dock is a valuable accessory; it supports you very efficiently every time you enter data quickly. Using a long time and especially bringing the experience is like using a laptop real.
On the hardware side, the most important parameters for TF300T are the quad-core processor Nvidia Tegra 3 T30L 1.2GHz chip and integrated GeForce ULP graphics processor 12 core. Tegra 3 processor is not merely four, but “4-Plus-1” means all five roots, including the Core 5 used in situations screen off or run applications lightly to save electricity and help machine cooler and longer battery life. With a quad-core processor, this tablet display high-definition content, and high-definition gaming is very smooth. TF300T also has 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB storage, and 32 GB. It supports wifi connectivity, Bluetooth, a screen rotation sensor, and GPS.

Screen

ASUS TF300T property IPS LCD screen resolution of 1280 x 800-pixel 10.1-inch width and density of pixels/inch is 149 PPI. In terms of specifications, the screen of the TF300T virtually no different than the screen of the Transformer Prime TF201 except screen TF201 is ASUS called Super IPS + (referring to “Super IPS +,” it is recommended to use a pop up in the sun).

However, screen TF201 and TF300T have the basic difference that brightness. If the screen of the Transformer Prime TF201 very bright and especially visibility outdoors is very good when you turn on “Super IPS +,” the screen of the Transformer Pad TF300T proved inferior in brightness and visibility clearly when outdoors. In return, the Transformer Pad TF300T screen has a wide viewing angle of up to 178 ° and displays precise colors.

In short, the screen of this tablet is like a low-end version of the Transformer Prime or the iPad screen for outdoor visibility stop inadequate and not superior to other Android tablets.

Camera

We usually do not pay much attention to the tablet’s camera because most webcams chat only or take some low-quality pictures. However, Transformer Prime TF201 is like, Pad transformer’s camera is impossible not to mention things. Transformer Pad with 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for chat webcam and an 8-megapixel rear camera 5-element lens, a large aperture F / 2.2 and BSI sensor (back-illuminated sensor) also supported 1080p Full HD recording.

In terms of specifications, the Transformer Pad superior camera parameters of other tablets on the market, including the Apple iPad 3, with a large aperture F / 2.2 BSI sensor, will better support shooting in low-light situations. However, the machine is not equipped with a flash.
Still a pretty good camera, but during our test camera, we still see tablets’ use to take pictures is quite weird because of the large size, especially when videographers in crowded places.

For example, performance tests on applications Vellamo web surfing, Transformer Pad reaching 1203 points compared to 1374 points of the Transformer Prime.

In actual operation, this tablet does not betray users’ expectations for a quad-core tablet, advanced game consoles, HD video playback, and smooth web surfing.

Regarding battery life, Asus advertised that this tablet battery, when attached to the keyboard dock, will use time up to 15 hours (power saving mode, 720p HD movie playback, screen brightness, and 60nits default audio to the headset jack).
