The best part i like about your videos is the green open air surroundings in which they are taken. Such green patches are treat for the eyes.
That videography tho! It's a damn inspiration!
Thanks Tomas!
Danny Winget t300 chi is better than surface 3? Thanks
+Long Le Minh can't say if which is better than which. But, based on the spec and size, they are not in the same line. Surface 3 probably is a competitor of T100 chi. T300 Chi has core M, which was designed for 2-in-1 tablet/laptop to replace core i3/5/7. Core M and Atom (which on T100 Chi or Surface 3) are also fanless. But, core M is much more powerful than Atom, at least in theory. Although MS surface 3 (4GB RAM) is nearly same as a T300 Chi (4GB RAM), they're still not the same processor power. Wait for MS Surface pro 4 (maybe with core M) to compare. If you are considering between these, I suggest to buy:
1. The T300 Chi IF you want to play game, do editing photos/movies because it's more powerful + better HD graphic
2. The Surface 3 if you love brand name of technology because MS can be named as a most luxurious of Windows tablet 2-in-1 now. Add, they have better material=> make it last longer. Finally, they have optional mobile networks ( 4g LTE or your in Vietnam must be 3G).
+Long Le Minh To correct my point from upper comment, I meant that surface 3 (4GB RAM) price ~ T300 Chi (4GB RAM).
Moreover, if you don't need a more powerful processor like core M, you can consider the T100 Chi, too. T300 chi and t100 chi has the same design, but t100 chi has the same size as surface 3 (in length and width). But, they are much thinner in depth (tablet compare only). When to attact the keyboard dock to t100 Chi they are just as thin as the width of surface 3 (without keyboard), or maybe a little bit smaller. I got a T100 CHI today, and very pleasure with its good-looking and its weight. If you're a college student (not about IT majors) like me, I think it must be good for you. It's beautiful, slim design, light weight, premium material (or maybe just look very luxurious design). Last but not least, they are now much cheaper than surface 3, which never on sale. I bought 2GB RAM+64GB brand new just $299. Same storage of surface 3 is $499, and you have to buy keyboard.
Video Quality Is Awesome.
Review Is Awesome.
You Are Totally Awesome Danny . :)
Love Your Videos :)
Would be an awesome device if they just put another battery in the keyboard portion. It would have not only vastly improved the worst aspect of this device (battery life) but also fixed the top heavy issue
Also USB C
This thing can edit video in Cyberlink PowerDirector 12 like a boss though. I rendered 20 minutes of 1080p PS4 footage in about 11 minutes!!
This is actually really cool, Danny!
Excellent review, Danny!
You are absolutely right about that battery. They missed the boat by not including it like the earlier models
Great review, Danny! Made me really want to buy it. If it were ~$500, I'd definitely consider it.
Pretty sweet combo, a good rival for Surface 3.
Danny Winget Awesome review! Hope you make more of these! I wish I could see an Acer Aspire Switch 11 Review or Aspire Switch 11 V when it's out. Keep Up the good work man :D
I love it so much this is best windows tablet/laptop I ever seen
This is a beast. Blows the SP3 out of the water. Wish they had kept their battery trick though. Lol I can use it on my lap!
for those worried about stability: i ran a torture test for 1 week max power with sleep and hibernation disabled and it barely get warm at all! pretty amazing power efficient CPU.
edit: screen was on 24/7 for 1 week too running screensaver.
Just bought the 1080p 4GB Ram version at best buy for 430+tax. Thank you bestbuy for offering student discounts! I think I'm really going to enjoy this ultra book.
Not to much to say but Damn bro! great video
Thanks man! Appreciate it as always
Solid review, video quality was top notch. I used my Asus Transformer Book T100 for an entire semester, and although it did everything without any hiccups I really want more screen real estate. So which would be the better buy, the Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi or the Asus Zenbook UX305? I have yet to see a comparison between the two. I'll be checking out more of your videos, keep em coming.
Really helpful review, thanks!
Hi Danny, I still not very sure what hybrid laptop to buy for school and daily use..
But I think the Microsoft surface 3 (I think pro is just a waste of money for me because I don't need a serious laptop, just for school and browsing..). Can you please make a comparison video between the Microsoft surface 3 (or pro) and the Asus transformer chi t300 and do also full review about the surface itself? Thanks..
great video- how do you know how much battery the keyboard has?
I would like to see a more extensive test on the Stylus. How good it is compared to SP3
picked this baby up for $550 (AUD) which is roughly 380 US, loving it so far im going to be using it for uni
Ditto on the battery Danny Winget . I wish the keyboard could second as an extended battery. I am a little ignorant on chips, but is the Intel M chip capable of running computer aided design programs like CREO and SolidWorks? Good stuff as usual.
interesting option for ultra portable laptop
Wow! This looks so cool!
I'm still using the first Transformer Book TX300, which houses TWO SD card slots, 500GB HDD, 128GB in the tablet, separate battery in the keyboard, but still on the bit heavy side and the battery life is not great and the connection between keyboard and tablet is -atrocious-. I was hoping for this edition to be the step forward but ASUS has made many sacrifices in order to maintain aesthetics and design, while keeping many of the problems of earlier iterations present.
I still think that the first edition was really their attempt to create the best hybrid on the market, and with every iteration they are scaling back somewhat to keep the cost down.
Good review, thank you!
Great review, Danny! Can you please give us the name and artist of the last instrumental track? Soooo dope!
Thanks for the review! Would you please let me know where can I get that stylus pen you showed on your review?
Great review! Do you know if this tablet can upgrade to Windows 10?
Hello Danny, i have a quick question and favor to ask! do you still have that TABLET/ Laptop and if so can you make a video/review to show off windows 10 on it im am really looking forward to but this laptop but i wonder how it will handle windows 10! thanks! and awesome Vid! :D
What is that wallpaper you had on the T300? Looks awesome.
I'm planning to buy this laptop today. I'm only gonna use it for work, not games or movies. Would you recommend me purchasing this?
That is the coolest laptop ever and I am still trying to get that phone
Good review... will this come with a free upgrade to windows 10? I will not buy anything that uses only 8 or 8.1.
Nice Review!
It looks great to me! Excellent review, as always! How old is the Intel Core M? I read that it came out in 2003, and if that's true, then I'm surprised that it's able to handle as much as it does.
David Halligan it came out in 2014 . It is built on latest 14nm process.
Oh, OK, thanks for the info!
I'd love to see a convertible like this really geared towards graphic artists and designers, but the horsepower needed would require a design that incorporates fans for cooling at this point in time. I hope we will see some super-performance convertibles in the near future. I'm willing to wait though! Kudos to Asus, they're my favorite device manufacturer. All of their products are really beautiful, even their low end stuff.
You would be surprised as to how quick this little guys is. I'm running PhotoShop, with the pen, which is a must have accessory by the way, Sketcbook Pro, ArtRage and even Blender for video editing. When I need more horsepower for rendering I just connect my self made render box which consists of 5 Nvidia Jetson K1 development boards (I bought them for only 80 bucks a piece), which I can't recommend enough getting at least three. With the 960 CUDA cores it blazes through even the most demanding GPU tasks, example; I can render a 5 minute movie as fast as my neighbors Mac Pro with a 12 Core Xeon processor, no embellishment. In fact he sold his Mac Pro recently and bought a SurfaceBook, than added 5 of the new Nvidia development boards with the X1 CPU, which brought the CUDA core count up to 1280 from 960. With the SurfaceBooks dedicated NVidia 950M GPU, he his actually quite comfortable using it with the Davinci video editor. Which is now my favorite video editor, it just blows away Final Cut Pro X in almost every concievable way. As far as battery life is concerned, I'm getting a consistent 6 hours with mine running it at 75% display brightness. It's actually amazing just how much 25% will do. The Asus's display has a 600nit display so even at 50% it's still very useable. The only problem with having such a bright display is burn in, so be careful as to not let the machine run over night without the display off. All in all I'm very happy with the 2 in 1, I chose it over the Surface Pro 4 because of it's size, it's seriosly thin guys, thinner than the iPad Pro which is just amazing for such a computer. It's also an absolutely gorgeous looking piece of tech, the back of the display has a rubbery matte feel so it grips easy in the hand. You can install Remix OS or Android x86 in a dual boot, so you have a full tablet OS for when you just want to consume content or play games. Finially, definitely but the 8GB version, 4GB just isn't enough anymore, even if all you use is the browser. Which by the way is a great experience, the Asus Chi makes for a great ChromeBook if web apps are your thing, they are mine in fact all I use now for my development work are cloud IDE's, even Microsoft Office online or Apple's office stuff, though it's no where as powerful as Microsofts cloud solutions. I would even dare say that the Asus Chi is a better buy than the iPad Pro, especially for those who need a productivity machines as well as a leisure tablet. The iPad Pro, despite how many say otherwise, is not a laptop replacement, it's just a larger iPad. Even with the keyboard attached I wanted so desperately to use a mouse for instance as constantly have to reach up to navigate the UI just got tiring. IOS is just a mobile OS, not even a good one at that. Grab this instead, there about 700 bucks now, than take that extra 300 bucks and buy a Xiaomi MiPad 2 OS you have a dedicated Androd tablet as well.
+Charles Alden do you have a demo video of you using photoshop? I'd like to see the pressure sesativity in action if it's worthy
Will you be doing a review on the new Surface 3?
hi first thank you for your amazing review . but can i ask you what would you recommend for some one looking for tablet can do heavy photo editing on Photoshop . and thx :)
ASUS make some good devices, it's just that they don't get attention from crowd.
They need to upgrade dat ux 301
4 Hours batterylife - Deal Breaker - Keyboard should power the tablet
hey, nice video. Does it come with win 8 or win 8 pro?
i'm using this laptop/tablet right now!
How is it? Did your own come with Windows 10? Need one for on the go!....
I bought the newer Transformer Book Pro 12,5 inch (comes with a battery in the keyboard) on Cdiscount for 480€ (special offer in France), should receive it next week; it comes with Windows 10 :-)
With the poor power performance that seems to be coming with the Core M I'm really disappointed to see they removed the battery from the keyboard. I feel that's what drew a lot of people to it in the first place
Is there palm rejection on that pen? If there isn't it's just an over priced sylus pen
Seems like a Surface Pro 3 would be a better buy, even with the i3. Price is comparable and you've got a built-in kickstand.
Jack Devlyn that sucks for you. I have had mine for almost a year and have had no issues at all.
***** Really? Built-in kickstand is the selling point for you? Lol...
sizlax I think if you ever actually used one and experienced the convenience, you might understand.
***** Well when shopping for a computer device of any kind I generally look at specs, what it can pull off, stuff like kickstand is just a side thought. Besides, these do come with a stand for the tablet, a bit bulkier than the surface's kickstand but effective non the less.
sizlax and much less versatile. Being able to remove the keyboard completely and prop the tablet up to watch videos or surf the web is a huge advantage.
Quick question, where can i find that desktop photo you have on the display at 2:46
Everyone wearing MKBHD t-shirts
Thx for adding League of Legend in rewiew!
You should NEVER do what you see on 0:13 - opening and closing this laptop will break the screen and brick it!
It costs only $499 in US microsoft store with free shipping!
but it's more than double the price in my country
what, why??
I really want one of these, but I don't want to buy a core m machine when skylake is now out. Why is there no skylake model?
where did you get the pen? the staff at my local microsoft store couldn't get a dell pen to work.
Not sure why reviewer always say that light gaming is possible on these devices. Asphalt had like 20 fps and it barley manages to run League decently. This is a device for office work and surfing, nothing more. Stop encouraging manufacturers to not progress by telling them that this is "acceptable".
what camera are you using Danny Winget
Does the Chi Stylus work with Dell Venue Pro Tablets such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro 5830
Core M has 3 versions. Which one is used in ur review unit? Plz reply
I just want to get tips from people that would know better then me on tablets. I built a gaming desktop and have been using my laptop less and less due to the desktop but have seen myself increasingly using my tablet for the extra portability. The tablet is the Asus transformer T100ta, the issue is it has trouble running some programs that end up crashing and i get a warning saying that i did not have enough rams to run the programs or it starts to slow down from which i think is the CPU not being strong enough (don't know for sure but this is what i believe is causing the slow down).
So heres what I was wondering, I am planning on selling my current laptop on ebay (i see its going for around 800 dollars but I'm going to ask 650-700 to try to get it to sell faster) and was wondering what tablet I should get. I am thinking the surface 3, transformer book t300 chi or anything in that line of tablets. I need it for when i go to college, microsoft word, editing programs, very light gaming (steam home-streaming sometimes or old games to just past time), and etc. I am good with desktops but never had luck with tablets so this is way I'm asking before I make a mistake in buying the wrong tablet.
Any tip would be appreciated and I have to have this figured out before the end of this year. Thanks.
P.S.
I am just looking for something with more then 4gb of ram and at least 128gb of memory
DarkJackal1223 Surface Go is the device you want
The keyboard is almost unusable. Bluetooth reconnect can take up to 15 seconds. No backlighting. Squishy keys. Small and clumsy trackpad. Due to the keyboard constant disconnection every few seconds (not changeable, default power saver mode) combined with its clumsy nature of the trackpad, it is impossible to use this trackpad for media work. Even casual use is very frustrating. One will have to also carry a separate mouse. Hence, also a OTG cable to convert the micro USB to a regular USB for the mouse. So there goes the purpose of a compact slim design.
This guy is the ONLY reviewer that gave the keyboard and trackpad positive comments. However, the one thing I really like is the separate power connector. The old school barrel connector. Solid and does not take up the precious USB port.
What do you think about raw files and video edit? Is it ok this tablet for these things? Can the prossecor and the ram make it?
no
does the microsd card actually expand the storage or does it mount like android and usb drives and you can just put files on it?
It cannot kill Macbook but it is a really good casual laptop,it is better all the way than the Macbook,but the brand is not strong enough to kill Apple's product.
This? Or asus ux305...
How is this thing similarly speced to the ux305 with a better screen but still cheaper?
does the pen have pressure?
I seen another video with someone playing BF4 on this so I'm not sure if you gave it enough credit where gaming is concerned. I mean LoL is hardly a benchmarking game.
I just got my Asus transformer T300 Chi tablet, how do I charge the keyboard?
which is the best t300/cheapest zenbook or cheapest surface 3?
8GB RAM? is it playable for heavy game like CoD: Advance warfare or Assassin creed? #NeverStopHopefortheG4
Planning to buy one. can it read External HD?
Can I easily run a Linux emulator on this device, and would it be good for taking notes as well as basic work?
This costs $400 in Walmart in Mexico a bargain price for such high end device.
Gabriel Hernandez en cuanto la dan en Walmart, en 8000 pesos? En mercado libre está en más de 10 mil.
Antonio Leyva Si amigo, la vi en $7999 hace unas semanas, este dispositivo es tan poderoso como Una MacBook 2015 a una fracción, y sabemos que ASUS es garantía de calidad en construcción.
Gabriel Hernandez gracias por tu respuesta, la buscaré, aunque estoy pensando que tal vez es la de 4gb y no la de 8gb por eso la diferencia de precios. gracias, saludos.
It's a pretty good portable device but I'm simply not sold on the intel core M processor series, they aren't powerful enough, in fact they are barely more powerful than the average smartphone...
+Andrew Draws Pretty Pictures I play skyrim
*****
that's the integrated graphics, not actual cpu power.
Raw CPU power-wise, it's as slow as my phone. (Phones actually have overpowered CPUs and crappy GPUs these days...)
This clearly makes more sense than the macbook 2015 lol.
I need slim hybrid laptop like this one with more battery life ? any suggestions ?!
how can i connect asus's keyboard. i can't
$499 at ms store. Worth keeping it?
whats the name that stylus? where you buy it?
Abi Rafdi Dinan i bet it's included.
How would I get changed the screen as it got broken on the above right ..??
would you say this is a good laptop for a school laptop
What about mobile internet (celluar)? A tablet without mobile internet is only half as usable.
+burnsnewman its not really a "tablet". its basically a laptop with a disconnectable keyboard and touch screen. if one owns this, they probably own a 4g phone and can tether, that's how i use it. my only real complaint is that the keyboard acts as the stand, and doesnt rotate back far enough. also mine didn't come with a stylus, so i'm having to order one, but i bought mine refurb in excellent condition for dirt cheap ($326 shipped) and was the only "tablet" of this size that had an actual processor not some ARM bullshit that can't handle fuck all.
also, i absolutely HATE the new mouse touchpads that all mobile devices that have them are getting. they're that "whole button" concept and its fucking garbage. IMO if the right/left click are not seperated from the "touchpad" area then its fucking useless. i need dedicated left/right click buttons and i need the pad to not be depressable.
Y not even bothered to compare with the surface pro ?
That battery life tho. I'm looking for something similar to this. Battery life and ports definitely trump thin for me. Anyone have any suggestions? (Besides surface units)
Can it use a regular mouse?
An excellent and "cheap" Asus-branded PC with a core M is the zenbook ux305 with a really greatest design in aluminium and a better battery, keyboard etc... For me, this transformer book cannot a PC because it has no USB port ! (Asus try to imitate the new MacBook but it is not a good idea... ^^) And if you really want an hybrid PC, you must chose the surface (pro ?) 3 because it is a much better product for me... ;)
hugo connetable It does have a USB 3 Port
Tes but thé USB 3 is not yet democratize... But yes it is a good and interessant production but I think it is like the new MacBook, too much ahead on its time ;) But I really think that the hybrid PCs will be the future of laptops ;) (it is really great that you answer me, I like your videos but I didn't comment anytime before today so I think that you really are a good youtuber ;P)
hugo connetable I just realized about the shit that I said in my previous post... A USB 3.0 is not a USB C ^^ But it doesn't matter because it is a micro USB so if you want to connect a USB key for example you need an adaptator...
What surface pro 3 do that better than this?
This thing has real keyboard while surface 3 has shitty typecover
It is an amazing device. Although, as you said, speakers are very very lame. Also when you download iTunes resolution in program is lower than for example in Chrome (or can anyone help me with this?) (:
t100 is still the best for students
Id use it for on the go use like watching downloaded movies casual video games ect but I'm a poor kid sooooo D:
Hi, How to turn the pen on and off?
would counterstrike, gmod and world at War work with thid
yes at low settings
What backpack is that?
will windows 10 improve the battery life?
Luca Giannini Can't say anything about Windows 10 but Linux did a great job improving the battery life on my t300. Depending on screen brightness and cpu settings i get up to 6 hours. With brightness all the way up and high cpu usage i can confirm the 4 hours from the review.
OMG TOP GEAR!
can i use phoenix os for this ?
It's a shame they went with a micro-B USB 3 port instead of a standard-A that accepts all our existing USB devices, but I guess that was a sacrifice for the thinness.
inspyral02 Adapter for USB A is included :)
much better than that piece if metal
Deal killer: The keyboard needs to be charged
MASCULINE MCGAINS i got mine one month ago and had to charge the keyboard for the first time today.
Anyone with the spare parts of this model??my screen was broken😭
