Which one is better, this one or the ASUS TRANSFORMER T100? The latter also comes with 500 hdd (in the keyboard).

I have the Asus T100 and I think it’s advantages over the Acer are the USB3.0 and probably the battery life (ASUS=11hrs, ACER=8hrs on paper). The ASUS T100 is 21,500 (parts and service) from online sellers, 22k at Villman.

Build quality wise – theyre both plastic but the acer feels flimsier. The asus has a better feel.
USB 3.0 and bigger battery life gives asus 2 points advantage despite the same SRP.

^^forgot to add that the rear cover of the acer is actually aluminum. Everything else is plastic.

(Just to be fair)

The Asus T100 has an advantage in price, however when the Asus first came out in our market it costed more than the Acer at 24,500 SRP, I think.

The aluminum back cover of acer switch10 gives the prime feel and look over the asus t100. I saw it during Intel’s Mobility Roadshow. #GoFaster
