If you're looking for a portable, well-designed, durable machine, which can be used as a tablet by separating the keyboard from the screen, then the Asus Transformer Book T200 is for you. As it lacks power, it's more suitable for productivity and web navigation.

The Asus Transformer Book T200 is a decent attempt at a budget Windows 8.1 hybrid, but the paltry display and sub-par battery life is only saved by its decent keyboard and upgradable storage. For £350, it's not bad, but if you're after an entertainment machine, you'd be best off looking at a dedicated tablet.

At this price, we never expected the T200TA to be the last word in ergonomic design, but it’s a great little hybrid that does a cracking impression of a budget 11.6in laptop, and doesn’t make a bad tablet either. The display in particular is significantly better than the screens you’ll find on most budget laptops. The Atom processor and 2GB of RAM may not provide enough headroom for everyone’s needs, but as a cheap and versatile Windows device, the Asus Transformer Book T200TA takes some beating.

The T200TA isn’t slimmer or lighter than some of its rivals, but its detachable mechanism makes it more versatile, and its 11.6-inch screen means it’s not a world away from full-size tablets. The screen and battery are both good, even if the modest specification and mediocre keyboard mean the T200TA is restricted to low-end applications. It’s still not perfect, but this hybrid is affordable and well designed, so it’s definitely worth investigating.

The Asus Transformer Book T200TA is an excellent compromise between tablet portability and laptop practicality. It's ever so slightly too big to be considered a replacement for your 7in or 9in tablet, but it's a good alternative for living room-based entertainment. If you're going to buy a cheap laptop for a bit of work and media consumption, the T200TA is the best choice.

The Asus Transformer Pad T100TAM is a revamped version of the T100TA 2-in-1 mini laptop, a stand alone 10 inch Windows tablet built on Intel BayTrail hardware, with a matching docking station. Compared to the original T100, the new version offers a metallic body, faster hardware and a somewhat improved display.

Asus Transformer Books T100TAM and T200TA reviews
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
People buy these small 2-in-1s for what they can do, for their ability to run legacy software as well as the touch-optimized apps, for the keyboards they provide and the ability to connect accessories when needed, something that’s a bit more difficult to do with an iPad or an Android tablet. And the 10 inch screen might be indeed too small to provide an enjoyable Desktop-mode experience, while there’s just not enough space for a proper keyboard and trackpad on a device this small.

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

Z3775: Soc with an integrated quad core Atom processor clocked at 1.46 - 2.39 GHz, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a dual channel LPDDR3-1067 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

76%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
