I’ve been waiting for this since July of last year! Price ain’t bad considering the premium added for hybrids.

Like I’ve said before, this finally answers all the fancy ideas we have in mind. But a 10″ version could have been better. 11.6 device is quite humongous for a tablet.
Was excited to see this in a computer store and the price isn’t too bad. It looks and feels premium and not as heavy as I thought it would be. What turned me off though was the quite large footprint it has for an 11.6″ machine (it feels more like 13-14″). All that bezel! Having second thoughts and wondering whether the Transformer Book T100 would be a better fit for me.
Well what you can get for the Transformer book trio is that it operates both in android and windows 8.1 and also you have a more powerful processor with this. As for the T100 which only runs in a quadcore atom baytrail and only runs on windows 8.1. If you like the tablet and PC combo I think it is better to pic the TRIO because you can experience the full tablet experience with the android OS. At the same time you can play heavier games with its processor i5 or i7.
