ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP300LA Pro Reviews

Build-wise this is a beautiful machine – it has a brushed aluminium body, sturdy hinge and simple, sleek lines. And processing-wise, this is a powerhouse for the price. The Transformer Book Flip is currently more powerful and cheaper than the equivalent Yoga 3 14-inch model but the lack of SSD should definitely be borne in mind. The screen is quite dark and it doesn't always lighten when plugged into the mains. The on-board speakers aren't brilliant but they're not terrible either. The FlipLock software isn't reliable – it stopped working on both machines we tested (the first was returned due to a hard drive fault). Without the software the machine loses its unique flipping ability. If Asus can make the FlipLock software more reliable, then it would make the TP300LA far more enticing. This robust and great looking machine is best for students, frequent travellers who want to store and watch movies and TV shows, and people who don't have a tablet but want touchscreen input. Just hurry up and update FlipLock, Asus.
