Asus Transformer Book T100 Chi hands-on

At CES 2015, ASUS showcased the follow-up to the Transformer Book T100 convertible tablet. It's a 10.1-inch tablet-PC hybrid called TB T100 Chi, and it comes bundled with a keyboard dock. It's the mid-range offering in the new Transfomer Book Chi trio of devices that's completed by the TB T90 Chi at the low end and the TB T300 Chi on the high end.

Design

At 10.43 x 6.87 x 0.53 inches (265 x 174.5 x 13.5 mm) with the dock included, ASUS has made a seriously thin convertible tablet. The company used some kind of metal construction that gives it a sturdy, more premium feel. There isn't anything remarkable otherwise - just a plain, functional mini computer of the kind we used to call a "netbook" back in the dark ages. Holding it in your hands, you'll find docking ports on the bottom, a microUSB port for charging and data, a microphone, a Windows button, volume controls, power button, and micro-HDMI output for connecting to TV. There's a microSD card slot, too.
