- Asus Transformer Mini T102h Review
I recently stumbled upon this little machine while looking for anything new in the low cost stylus enabled tablet space. The Asus Transformer Mini, the T102H or T102HA, is a small 10" Windows 10 tablet that sports an active digitizer. In a surprising break from the norm, Asus ditched the usual Wacom for Microsoft's N-Trig pen. It runs Windows 10 Home 64 bit, and has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The system is at a very aggressive price point, at under $400. Of course, at this price point there are trade-off's. First and most notable is the Processor and Screen. To achieve better battery life there is an Atom X5 processor, which isn't a powerhouse by any means, but is adequate for most productivity tasks. The screen is only 1280 x 800, which sounds like a let down, but the display is very clear and has excellent color quality. The added bonus for this machine is it comes with pretty decent keyboard/mouse cover; something that's extra on the Surface line.
Take a look at the review and see if it's something that you could use.
Microsoft Store: www.microsoftstore.com/store/...
I've had this since December it is really good for the money. When I got it, it was $280. It's my computer.
Screen is fine, it is sub 1080p but the focus of the device is to have a lot of features that more expensive devices have, colors are great on this. Don't let the resolution get you down
Stylus works great, it includes it
Keyboard is decent for what it is, I can personally easily type on it, this is also included, something a surface and ipad pro don't include even though they claim to want to be computers.
As for games, there's many games that it CAN handle. Windows has MANY games for every spec computer. What I have installed from steam is game dev tycoon, brawlhalla, burnout paradise, American truck simulator and evoland 2. It's gonna be a much better experience than mobile gaming, you can get many full fledged games for cheap on steam that an atom x5 can run.
It's not a speed demon but it runs. 4gb of ram is a lifesaver. It's definitely the minimum you want, even the surface laptop starts with 4gb ram. The atom x5 has a low clock speed but with a quad core processor that helps it.
It has a fingerprint reader which works really well, it's so convenient to use it to sign in.
Overall it's an excellent device for the money, I am typing on it right now. It can be had for $250 on the Microsoft store now. That could change though as I think it's just a sale.
Excellent points. It's a fun little system. Probably one of the best deals around.
Nick Principe how does it hands American truck sim?
Hi, i'm a student and i'll use it to write my notes in class, is this Pc good for it ? how long does the battery survive?
Nick Principe can it video edit
LoZit _ it should last at least 7 hours if you aren't pushing the processor, the stylus is great for writing
Thank you very much for the review!
Excellent review! Compelling, informative stuff. I think I may get one of these for $400.
Ive got the 64GB for 279 at MSFT online
Nice review, thank you for not being bias and only showing the pros and not the cons. Just purchased this and am still waiting but the girlfriend has one and it seems to be perfectly ok for web browsing and videos.
Just to let you know above 720p is considered HD. what you mean is it's not FHD (1080p).
sir have you ever try long time drawing on this device? I see you have sketchbook pro in that, so I think maybe you like drawing on it, before you return it. I just wonder how much layer it can handle when comes to drawing.
I just bought this new for $279 on the microsoft website because of a Holiday Deal :-) For under a $300 price range, I think it's well worth what I am getting.
I’ve just bought this in 64gb for taking notes in lectures and typing up some essays whilst on the go - I’ve read mixed reviews. Is this capable of having the office bundle on it and performing relatively well?
Hi, great video really complete! I want to buy a t102ha but I'm wondering how the keyboard is? It looks much more stiff than a surface keyboard but, do you think it is rigid enough to type on your lap or should I go with the t101ha which has almost the same specs, but a more laptop keyboard style?
I've always found these small computers to be hard to use on the lap, but the keyboard on the Asus should be good enough to allow you to type on your lap. It's a good keyboard, it's more stiff and tactile than the Surface Pro keyboards. The nice thing about the 102 is you can pull the keyboard off and you can have a pure tablet experience. The pen is the other selling point, if you want a decent pen for the tablet experience than it's hard to go wrong with the 102. If you won't need those options you might be ok with just a standard laptop.
The moment when you realize that your pentium is berely more powerfull than this yet consumes 55W while this consumes little to nothing in comparison,and it's way more portable then the desktop computer,well,that's embarasing,and sad,ouch :/ Don't worry I'll get my hand on components for my next pc with the i5 kabylake and all of the goods and then a big asus laptop at 15' with an i5(i know,quite the I5 lovers over here XDD) and then maybe this as a replacement for my tablet.
have you ever tried doing powerpoint presentations using this ?
8:25 along with the cpu, gotta factor in the internal parts/upgrades from recent developments with the complete system. thats where the real difference would likely be.
Is the screen orientation changes from landscape to portrait?
Pretty nice review. My question is that if someone wants (for example lost the stylus) can buy a surface pen as a replacement? Although as you said on the video is not fully supported for the pressure sensitivity, can a surface pen replace the day-to-day work of asus stylus?
Actually Yes, it's the same pen... What I was trying to explain in the video is what's missing in the Asus is the ability to control the pressure sensitivity. On the Surface Pro there's a tool you can get called the "Surface Hub", or it might have been renamed to just "Surface". That tool lets you customize pen pressure and button assignments. That won't work on the Asus. So, you'll have pressure in what apps support it, just like the Asus pen. I'm not quite sure why OneNote wasn't cooperating when I made this video.
thank you for the clarifications!
would this laptop be good for design work, will it run photoshop well?
You keep saying the screen isn't HD. It is HD. High-Definition resolution is defined as 1280x720. That screen being 1280x800 means it is HD.
Thanks for the correction. I mistakenly referred to HD as being Full HD, 1920x1080.
Excelent review!
May I ask why did you return the tablet
Again, excelent review!
Thanks Rafael, I was debating about keeping it, since the price was really good. But I was hoping the device had a Wacom pen. I like these little pen computers, and I don't find N-Trig pens to be as good as a Wacom. I also have the Lenovo Yoga Book, which I actually like more, so when it came to it, I decided to return it.
Thanks for the response! I really liked your review! Have a great new year!
Very good
Which 2 in 1 laptop/tablet in this category would u recommend as a secondary daily device? Video streaming, Office, Web browsing? Im not expecting to get a speed demon, but is the Z8350 snappy enough in ur oppinion?Thanks for the great review, it really shed light on some parts not seen in other ones :)
The Transformer MIni is a decent machine. The newer generation of Atom processors are pretty good for daily tasks. Email, Netflix, web browsing and even light gaming are fine. It's hard to go wrong with the price tag.
Dower Chin Hi. Can I use an external hard drive on this?
Sure, It has a full size USB 3 port. This unit also has a microSD card slot, so you can plug in a large MicroSD card to expand your storage.
Dower Chin thanks a lot..
Just got this little pad, a bit slow, but the battery seems last forever.
Have a problem, there is no button to turn off just the mon, then I set the mon to sleep in 1 minute, but once the mon sleep, the whole PC went sleep. Any clue on that, anyone ??
where can i find cases for it?
I dont really care about the simple problems he talks about but i loved the vid thank you im buying this in a couple month
nice vid u gud
The version i ordered has 128 gb ssd and im from canada so it is 550 ish dollars without sales. Im really excited to get it.
It's a fun little computer. I didn't like the pen that came with it though, but any Surface Pen, or the new Wacom Bamboo Ink pen will work on it. Let me know what you think of the system once you get it.
Love your review would love a honest opinion.Im decideding if i should go for this 2 in 1 or the microsoft surface pro.I need it for business pls let me know which would be better thx
The question I always ask in reply is what do you plan to run on the device? The Surface Pro will be more powerful in regard to processing power. The screen will also be a little bigger and have a higher resolution. If you are simply going to use it for email, word processing and web browsing, than this might work fine. It's hard to beat the price, since you get the pen and keyboard with it. The Surface Pro is also better built than this computer. It's a fun little device, but doesn't feel as premium as the Surface Pro's magnesium body. The included pen isn't as nice as the Surface Pro pen, but that's easily replaced by buying a Surface pen. Just for clarification, I'm talking about the Surface Pro 3 or newer. The Surface Pro 1 and 2 used a different pen tech than the later Surface Pro's.
Dower Chin i will be ruining alot of different applications that need the space .Im a financial advisor
If that's the case, I would look into something that would have more memory and disk space. Something like the Surface Pro would be good. But I wouldn't limit myself to the SP line. These days, there's plenty of options, unless there's something specific you like in the SP. HP's Spectre line is pretty good, as well as Lenovo's Yoga line.
I ordered Tablet ASUS mini turn T102HA I was delivered an ASUS transform mini T102 H, is there a difference?
Why you don't use the trackpad??
Do you think this computer would be good for running python? I need a new 2-in-1 that can do some programming for university. Am I better off just getting a used surface pro 3?
This machine is at a great price range, and should run Python fine... Of course, it depends on how heavy the computations your Python will do. The CPU isn't a full i5 or i7 processor you would find on a Surface Pro, but I think you should be fine.
It’s still HD 720p is still hd it’s just not “full hd” (1080p+)
Do battery test
-games
-video(on youtube)
And check the temperature
p.s without the cooler?
I'm sorry Roman, I had to return the tablet... My wife was watching streaming video on it for a about 3 hours without issue, so the battery is decent... I didn't have a chance to see if it would live up to the 11 hours Asus claims... The CPU is designed to run pretty cool, I don't believe there is a fan in this unit.
Roman Ukhach I use it and it isn't the best for gaming but videos work great on this thing. The batterh does go the 11 hours Asus claims.
Hi, how is it the webcam?
Hi Dower Chin, do you think the T102h performs worse than other Atom-based devices out there? I don't really know much about benchmarking tests but reading online reviews it seems that some devices with older Atom processors actually out-perform the T102h. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.
From my limited time with the device I didn't think it performed any worse than other Atom based systems. Being an Atom based device, you'll just need to set your expectations for what you'll want to do with the device.
Thanks. I might take the plunge with the T102. 10.1" is such a perfect size for travelling, I just wish there was a device out there that crammed an Intel Core M processor into this form factor.
j'ai commandé la tablette ASUS tranformer mini T102HA j'ai été livré d'un asus transformer mini T12 H, y a t il une différence ?
Hi
I was wondering, could you open star wars the old republic on this system and do like non playing activities. Like looking up stats, transfering character to different server, check out your iventory, etc, etc..
Thanks
Hello Steven, I don't have this unit anymore, but my guess is it won't run SWTOR very well. The system has a pretty weak CPU, and the built in graphics isn't very powerful.
Do you know if there are any pens that would fit in the loop on the side?
A Samsung s pen xD
Hi dower, I know it's quite late but i really would like this for my birthday, to do school have some fun with drawing and use it as a tablet which is great, but I'm really worried about the graphics say if I got this for my birthday and bought a graphics card out my own money would that work?
Unfortunately, this type of tablet doesn't have the capability of expanding the graphics. It's geared as a low cost media consumption device with pen capability. The pen itself is ok, but not as good as others I've used. For graphics expansion though, are you thinking about something like a Razer Core to add a gaming grade graphics card? In order to extend the graphics with an external card, you're going to need to find a laptop with Thunderbolt 3. The Dell XPS 15 9650 and the Porsche Design Book One can use a Razer Core, but I've had no luck with the HP Spectre x360 (some people seem to have gotten this to work).
The question you'll need to answer for yourself is what your budget is, and what you'll be ultimately wanting to do with it. Another device to think about is the Apple iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil is excellent, and is a decent option if you don't need specific Windows based applications.
Dower Chin thanks dower for ur help but it's quite hard cause I was thinking bout that but I want a laptop to for school work as I've got my GCSE's coming up (uk) and I have not got a very big budget it's £350 but I just wanted to get the tablet experience too, it's not for gaming because it's not my cup of tea it's just the thought of not having HD
I just bought mine in the keyboard isn't working does anyone know how I can fix it
Will this run photoshop and Illustrator?
i'm a IT student and i'm looking for a convertible Tablet so i can programm with it. carrying my big laptop everyday is painful. can you help me?
davincci tatchim I am also an IT student if you find any laptops let me know please
Pardon my ignorance. Can we not use the tablet only to type? I cannot get the keyboard up when I unattached from the physical keyboard
Technically, Windows is supposed to detect if the keyboard is detached and ask if you want to go into "Tablet Mode", but it doesn't seem to do that automatically on this device (at least not mine). So, without the keyboard attached and NOT in Tablet Mode. the keyboard won't automatically come up. You will need to go into Tablet Mode manually. You can do that easily by swiping from the right site to bring out the panel, in there, look for a button called "Tablet Mode" and enable it. Once in that mode, anything that needs input will automatically bring up the touch keyboard.
I read alot of reviews that say this thing stops working really quick and is generally buggy/glitchy/stops turning on. Has this happened to you at all?
To be honest, I didn't have it long enough for that to happen. I'd be surprised if it did fail so soon though. I've had other Asus products that have held up well. But then again, to keep costs down they might have sacrificed quality. I did order a new one this week, since I've been very surprised how popular this system seems to be.
Great review, thanks. You should know that some lowlife, going under the channel name of 'TechReview', has stolen this video. TechReview is not a big time thief, only having 2 subscribers, but I still hate it when I find stolen videos on TH-cam after a creator has put so much work into producing a superb review like this.
Thanks for the heads up. Do you have a link to their channel?
If you do a TH-cam search for the exact text: "ASUS T102HA REVIEW - low budget with good laptop" you should find the video. It's always the same when I am looking at buying a new bit of tech... I search TH-cam for reviews of the device and find duplicate videos. This particular channel is a small time thief but I've found worse in the past.
Would this run autocad 2d, photoshop and corel? i have a good desktop, this is just for use during travel
Hmm, probably not well. The processor is a bit on the weak side, and memory is limited, so it may not work well. But much depends on the complexity of the work you're doing.
Does it have palm rejection? If so, is it good? Or did you not have the chance to do it before you returned it?
There is palm rejection, it's as good as the Surface Pro 3 and 4, which is decent. The trick with palm rejection is the device needs to see the pen pointer before your palm hits the screen. Once that's engaged it's usually fine.
I like it.
Erreur de frappe livré d'un T102H y a t il une différence entre les deux modèles ?
I'm interested in buying this as the sale price is good. Can you please confirm if the One note app has speech recording capabilities similar to the surface one note app. The lenovo Yoga 510 14" i3-6100u has been reduced to the same price as the T102, so in terms of Cpu, would the lenovo be a better bargain? Spec wise, the lenovo comes with 8Gb and 128ssd. I'm looking for a compact affordable, portable notebook for on the move computing. Thanks
I forgot to add that i3 is 6th generstion, clocked at 2.3ghz with a 1080p screen.
OneNote is just OneNote, so it should have the same features. You could also just install the full Office365 version too. The T102 is a decent system, but the CPU is a little weak. It's a great bargain if you consider what you get, it would be closest to the regular Surface tablet. The biggest question you will need to ask yourself is what you intend to do with it. For a portable media consumption, note taker, it might not be bad. I didn't like the pen that much though; the tip felt harder than it needed to be. The good news is the Surface Pro 4 pen's will work on it. The con is there is no customization you get with the optional Surface Hub app. The Yoga series is nice, the i3 would get you more CPU and more memory should allow you to run more apps at the same time. As for storage, you could always add a MicroSD card to the T102 to get you more storage, it'll just be added as a D-Drive.
Thank you for the response and feedback. My main uses fir this device would be emailing, Ms word, web browsing and some video consumption, so I don't need anything that's overly speced out as this is not a primary device. The specs of the lenovo and price point are very tempting, but not been able to remove the tablet from the keyboard, the slightly bulkier form factor and the spygate issue that plagued the company last year are swaying me more towards the Asus. I haven't played with the Lenovo yet, so I'll give it a whirl before making my final decision. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Tk Muns the Asus may be fine for you. Build quality is good. Kickstand is very nice and the detachable keyboard is nice. The screen is not HD, but has good contact and color.
Dower Chin its HD but not Full HD... I remember
How big is it cm?
What wacom pen do you recommend recomend for this laptop? I plan on getting one for it
Christin Beasley it uses n-trig pens not Wacom ones
Unfortunately this unit does not support Wacom. It uses an N-Trig, similar to the Surface Pro 3 and 4. You can pickup one of those pen's, which I recommend, they are nicer than the one packed with this unit.
does it run the sims 4?
I know this is old but i got mine the same....but my problem is that is kinda slow i don't know why.....like in youtube it studders also like downloading fortnite the game lags alot anybody with info let me know
can u recomend me any tablet on windows for playng only in dota2? I want a mobility device with hight power to play. So as I think this transformer mini not for playing, isnt?
I'm not quite sure. I'm not much of a DOTA player, but looking at the requirements for the game, it seems pretty accommodating. I did a google search for DOTA 2 requirements, and there's quite a few places that offer advice to hardware. Having said that, it looks like anything with a modest graphics card will run the game. The question comes down to budget, but it seems like going with an older system, packing a dedicated GPU like an NVidia 700 series GPU should achieve what you want.
can you connect other keyboards such as the one from the surface pro?
They are not compatible. It looks like it should, but the magnets and connectors don't line up. You could always use a Bluetooth keyboard though.
oh ok
Full size keyboard????
Do you even know what that means
it would be awesome if the keyboard was backlit
can this put simcard
I wish you had filmed it where we could see everything in the frame, instead of having part of it cut off.
Which part are you concerned with?
i want a small laptop/tablet for school but im wondering if this is too small. I feel like 12'' are perfect so now i'm scared when it comes to 10.1''
Personally, I prefer the 12" size these days, mainly because my vision is getting poor. Besides the screen size, you'll need to think about the keyboard size, since 10" tablets and laptops will need smaller keys to squeeze into that space. Of course, the larger size will demand a larger price, so you'll need to factor those in. This machine is a decent computer, and it's hard to beat the price for what comes with it.
If the keyboard is not attached, can be still used it?
Once the keyboard is detached, the keyboard won't work, since it isn't powered and it's not a bluetooth keyboard. It's similar to a Surface Pro keyboard. The computer itself can go into tablet mode (if you want it to), and you can then just use the touch screen or the pen.
Not a good tutorial.
I just wanted to see about powering the sucker on.
If it had to charge the battery 1st?
Thought the power cord would of turned it on immediately. Not so.
I've been looking for a good 2 in 1 laptop, preferably something that is a tablet and laptop and maybe with extra perks, for school that is not a chromebook under $400 do you have any recommendations for me I really need a new laptop!!
The Asus is a decent system for the price. Another option might be a refurbished Surface Pro 2 or 3. What extra perks are you looking for though, since a 2 in 1 under $400 will be rather limited in regard to memory and storage.
Dower Chin I'm looking for something if I can something with a stylus pen so I can write or draw, I'm not really for much just something for school and will last for a couple years
Computers these days probably won't last more than 3 years, unless you really aren't picky about what they do. Drawing and Writing will also vary too. The Asus pen support is ok, but it's an earlier gen N-Trig pen, so it's about as good as the Surface Pro 3. It won't be as good as the new N-Trig found on newer tablet computers like the new Surface Pro, or the HP Spectre X360. Surprisingly, the Apple Pencil is an excellent stylus, if you wanted to look in the Apple direction. I think if you wanted something to last a little longer, you might look for something that has a bit more horse power (real i5-i7) and memory (8gb to 16gb). Of course, that all costs more. A good option might be to look for a refurbished Surface Pro 3 from the Microsoft Store.
Dower Chin do you think there are some hybrid convertible 2 in 1laptops with backlit keyboard because im sometimes going to work in dimly lit places maybe with a few extra perks, I'm also trying to stay away from refurbished products just because of personal reasons
I think one of the better options out there now is the HP Spectre X360. If there is a Best Buy store near you, I recommend going over and touching a few of the 2-in-1's. If the pen is not important, the Lenovo 910 is also a nice machine. I'm staying away from Dell now, since I'm questioning their quality and support with a recent string of issues I've experienced. I know we're now moving into a much higher price point, but you'll get more for your money, and these more expensive systems might serve you longer.
Its a quite good tablet. If you insert a micro SD-Card will it get completly in or looks the back out? It was a problem at the T100 Series. 1280x800 is HD. 1920x1080 is Full HD. This Review is good thanks. But in Germany it comes without pen and digitizer and 380€!?!?! This is so disapionting.
Rob Schmitt the micro SD card ends up flush with the laptop
Great. I think I will buy it. In Germany it comes without pen/stylus. Wich Pens can I use for it? It has not a Wacom Digitizer its from an another company. I've forgotten its name. I know the Surcface 4 pen works here.
Wow really? That seems so odd that those are separate items.
Dower Chin Yes and its around 100$ more expensive. Here it is 370€ as a special offer. Most dealer sell it for 430€ ~ 500$. I think to buy it in a foreign country.
Hi :)..which is better Asus transformer or Lenovo yoga android?.
I really like the Windows version of the Yogabook, it's a very unique tablet, but it's also less practical than the Asus. The Asus is a much more practical device (it's a little cheaper than the Yogabook). Specs are similar, but the Asus has a full size USB-3 port and has a finger print reader. Both have digitizer pens, the Yogabook is a Wacom and only works on the Halo Keyboard size, whereas the Asus is an N-Trig (like the Surface Pro). The Asus is also a little cheaper than the Yogabook.
Am I the only one who noticed that the Surface pro 2 scored more in benchmark then the SP3 with core i7 ? LOL
Hey.
Would this run FL studio and Sony Vegas pro 13
Thx u so much
I've not tried that, but I don't think the CPU would handle it well. It's a low power consumption 32bit processor, so it really wasn't designed for heavy work.
Ok thanks
Do you know any budget 2 in 1
laptops That can do so?
Hmm, depending on the level of video work you do, I would look into something that has a full i5-i7 processor. You can probably get away with a SurfacePro 3 or 4. Memory is also important, so I would look for anything with 8GB or above. 4GB is way too slim for any serious work.
Yeah maybe ill wait till the new surface pro and hopefully price goes down for the 4. This link:www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/tablets/microsoft/microsoft-surface-pro-4-i5-128gb-tablet/837956/ is it worth it??
Hmm, that link is vague. Not much info, no idea how much memory is in there. You could try Ebay, or Amazon. Some sellers are selling refurbished models which could be a good buy. Here's an official Microsoft Certified Surface Pro 3: www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/d/certified-refurbished-surface-pro-3/8rd3b8wzsvkx/H073
It's not bad, i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
H,i how have you activeted the pen?
You shouldn't need to anything other than ensure the battery is powering the pen, once the pen has power, the pointer should appear when the tip gets within an inch of the screen.
can you photoshop on it?
I am looking for a lightweight machine to back up my camera sd cards to my portable external hard drive, how does this machine do hooking up a usb hub and plugging in 2 or 3 external usb devises (portable hd, sd card, flshdrive)?
I've not tried plugging in multiple devices. I'll need to try that with a hub. It would probably be ok. I'll need to get back to you on that.
Shelli did you bought this tablet?, im also looking a little machine to backup my photos to an external hdd during my travels!
I did buy this machine,and it can back up your photos and you can put a usb hub to have more than one harddrive, however, it wont read raw files,in windows 10, I had to add some software to view my photos.
Thanks for your answer Shelli, that's more than enough for me! (Sorry about my grammar, still learning english).
Thanks for sharing your experience!
is the keyboard backlit?
nope
Question: www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_367&item_id=114846
They advertise this as 64SSD, but I think this unit is actually 64 EMMC, are they the same thing??? Or have they upgraded this model since then? I"m about to take the plunge and buy this...
I'm actually not sure what it is, but in the Device manager, it ID's as a SanDisk DF4064.
lol... I have one more question, for the stylus it has two buttons. When I hold the bottom button it erases, I dunno what the top button does? Any light you can shed on that? I tried to go to Pen configuration but it seems to not do anything for my pen.
It's 720p HD but not 1080p FHD
Is the screen and keyboard detachable?
Yes it is.
Dower Chin thanks
Does the keyboard support mouse?
Yes, the keyboard has a trackpad built into it.
Is it better than the Transformer book T101H ??
Samar Baba yes
Does this run the Xbox app and able to mirror it
yes it can
Would SolidWorks work on this?
Probably not well. Solidworks recommends 8gb of memory and a decent graphics card, neither of these are present on this system. The processor isn't very powerful either. Solidworks might install though, since this unit runs Windows 10 64bit, but without more memory, GPU, and more powerful processor, it might not run very well. The resolution of the display is also only 1280x800, so I don't know how well Solidworks would run in this resolution.
The screen had HD resolution. It is not Full-HD
Can you use Google Play with it?
Are you asking if you can install Android apps or use Google Play Music? The device is Windows, so Android apps will not run, unless you install Android onto the system or turn it into a Chromebook. It will play music back from Google Play Music, since that's just through the browser.
would this be ideal for school and taking notes in class ??
I think this system would be good for that. It's low cost and packs quite a bit of value (Pen and Keyboard included). It's not targeted at intensive tasks like video work or serious gaming, but for media consumption and classroom related work, this should do fine.
How does it compare to the HP Spectre X2 on a budget of 400?
Im looking for a 2 in 1 system for under 450 (400 if possible)
Dower Chin could I game on this?
HAVE YOU TESTED THE ATOM X7 Z87 (WHATS IN THE SURFACE 3) COMPARATIVELY TO THE ATOM X5? MAJOR DIFFERENCES? I LIKE HOW THIS MODEL HAS 4 GB OF RAM STANDARD, JUST A LOWER PROCESSOR
Shut up.
can you try to run the remix os on t102h?
I'm sorry Liang, I had to return the tablet. So I won't be able to try that.
Awww...
I know this is an old video, but when you had this tablet, did you have any problems running any of the adobe software?
It should run Adobe software fine, but you'll need to set your expectations. Photoshop ran ok, but I didn't stress test it on super large images or run complex filters on it. It might not be super fast, since the processor is not really meant for heavy duty work.
Dower Chin ok thank you for replying, I wanted to get photoshop and animate cc,
Does the pen function as well as the surface pens in terms of writing and drawing?
It's the same type of pen so the same functionality is there. I didn't care for the tip on the pen that comes with the Asus, the tip is just a little too stiff and hard. The only thing you can't do is tweak the pressure sensitivity. If you get this, I would still recommend getting a Surface Pro 4 pen, since you can at least change the tip, and it has an eraser end.
Where did u get yours
I picked it up on the Microsoft Store.
the resolution is a bit over 720p so it is HD just not FHD
My girlfriend is planning on going back to school for LPN would this be an okay tool
There still isn't much out there like this machine and at this price point. Although, you might be able to pick up a refurbished or used Surface Pro 3 for almost that same price. I'm not sure what LPN is, but for school, the battery life is decent and it can run office apps fine.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I was thinking... if she is not going back to school this summer, most stores will have Back-To-School specials next month and August, so you might be able to get this cheaper, at that time (or something else).

Wow, that's decent. I still seem for almost $400 on Amazon.
can you use autocad?
Probably not, unless it's a very old version with low specification requirements.
hello I saw your review on this and I am starting my own business in late spring and I was wondering would this be good for my company what I'm doing is I have a drone company and I'm going to take my drone and flying bugs from properties and take pictures or do weddings and such and I would like to take the video from my drone and put it on this kind of device so that I can go get my client a copy of it or something and I'll take my external DVD burner or my external memory card and just let them you have a copy of the file they need you know what this work OK for that you think for video and all that's what I really would like to use it for something simple Compact and really easy to use please let me know what are your thoughts and what you would recommend because the Drone I am going to use will be micro SD card obviously so I would need to install them.
and does it also have a webcam at all I didn't know if you said that or not thank you and have a nice holiday
Hmm, I'm not familiar what's needed for Drone work. It does have a MicroSD card, and a fill sized USB3 port. Those are nice options to have. The CPU may be weak for video work, especially if you plan on doing any type of editing and re-compression work. If you need more video work you might need to spend some more money and go to a Surface Pro 4 or something like a Lenovo Yoga 910. The T102 does have a front facing camera, just not a rear facing one.
Can I use Microsoft office in it ?
Sure, MS Office runs fine.
could i use a wireless mouse with this one?
Yes, you can use a bluetooth mouse on it.
thank u....
I recently purchased the same one and I do TH-cam videos and I would like to know what SD card can be used on it?
I'm currently using a Samsung 256GB MicroSD card in my Transformer Mini.
Is this suitable for gopro photo editing down loading videos from a gopro and storage?
I don't think the processor on here will handle that task very well. My recommendation would be something with a full i5/i7 processor, since video work is more demanding on the CPU.
Excuse me, Capt'n Obvious. But why would you compare this to an I7 bench mark? That's like comparing the buying power of a 5 dollar bill to that of a 100 dollar bill isn't it? I mean it is plainly obvious these processors won't keep up with a full on I7 but to do that kind of analysis is disingenuous. With the Pen, the thickness of the line is like other pens and that is determined by the pressure you place on what you are drawing. This Pen technology is no different.
I'll confess I'm not the best when it comes to benchmarking. I essentially used whatever was the top of the current list and showed where this device lands, which, in hindsight may not be a good measure, nor is it really a fair comparison. In regard to the pen, I didn't care for the feel of the pen, the tip was harder than what I've used on the Surface Pro. It worked, but lacked the quality feel of the Surface Pro pens.
im a tough critic, so me saying good review has some weight to it lol
is this good for watching videos??
Yes, this machine is fine for watching videos on.
can it pull 1 tera external hard drive??? thank you
uhmm i know you dont have it anymore but would it run american truck simulator smooth
I've never played the game before. According to the min requirements of the game, it might, but it probably won't look great and may be quite choppy.
Can you play games, say, Roblox or Minecraft on it?
yes minecraft you need optifine but yes on the roblox part
not a good review
come on buddy you are comparing 250$ worth of machine against 1500$ surface pro and complaining about the pen processor and etc is not fair
11 hours if u put your laptop on standby.... lol
Piece of crap, just 16 months very low use and now it's not charging nor turning on. Send it to service center? better buy another one!
