I really like what Asus has done with the Transformer Book Flip TP300. The system features a relatively large 13-inch display, a premium body with real metal and some of the best performance we've seen from a 2-in-1 under $500. The main thing holding the TP300 back is the screen's lack of brightness.

The Asus Transformer Book Flip TP300LA is a great-value flexible laptop. It's built well, has a decent processor and lasts ages on a single charge. The only thing we'd like is a Full HD screen, which is available on more expensive versions of this laptop. Aside from that there's very little not to like about it, so it comes highly recommended.

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.
