Archive.org versionIt may be cheap and chunky, but the Transformer Book Flip TP300LA is no slouch, outpacing both rival convertibles and Asus's own Transformer Book Chi series in performance as well as battery life. However, you get what you pay for, and so you'll have to contend with a sub-par screen, an old operating system and a form factor that is far heavier than most 2-in-1s. Even with these issues in mind, though, this flip-flopping laptop is a great balance between power and value.

Archive.org versionThe Transformer Book Flip represents another promising outing from Broadwell: the balance of value, performance and battery life is excellent, with the Flip scoring a little above average on all counts. Build quality is generally good, too, although the ergonomics need a tweak to make it really stand out.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
