Asus has unveiled a refresh to its best-selling hybrid device, the Transformer Book. The T100HA keeps the same form factor – a 10.1-inch one - and tweaks a few things.
Out goes BayTrail and in comes Intel's Cherry Trail chip, its successor with a choice of X5 models being proposed. The memory gets a boost to up to 4GB with onboard storage ranging from 32GB to 128GB.
Sticking to HD
There's also a 5-megapixel rear camera and a front facing 2-megapixel one just like on the previous model.
Its biggest flaw though has to be its resolution. At 1280 x 800 or 1366 x 768 (depending on the specification), it is unlikely to be viewed as a competitor to the Surface 3 despite bundling a keyboard docking station that can not only house a hard drive but also increase its battery life to 14 hours.
Available in the third quarter of 2015 with Windows 10, it will have a starting price of $289, with the docking station with the more expensive model costing $399.
