Asus Transformer Mini T102HA Best Budget Drawing tablet ft Microsoft 4 pen review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- In today's video, I reviewed the ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA. I mostly focused on its performance when drawing and taking notes since the reason I got this tablet was to draw on it. Can buy here: amzn.to/2IfnMmm
I have zero experience in digital art but I have 4 years of experience drawing on paper. In this video, I do a time-lapse of a drawing I did use the Microsoft pen 4 on the ASUS Transformer Mini Tablet. For the price, this is a great 2 in 1 tablet if you are looking into getting into the digital art world. It is a great starter tablet.
I didn't go in depth on this tablet since the video is very long. I tried my best to make it as short as possible. Hope you enjoy.

Go to asus support and update drivers for wifi, audio and especially finger recognition which now works 100% of the time.
+Dave_W Thank you, doing them right now :)
Man THANK U A LOT!!!! Finally someone that maked a REAL and COMPLETE review of that product. Liked a lot and Subscribed!!
Daniel Apostol Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Sorry for the re-upload. There was something I needed to fix and didn't catch it until someone pointed it out. When I re-uploaded the video the intro music is very low now. Don't raise your volume until the intro is over and hear my voice. Heads up to headphone users!
GH Tech Review. Does the Microsoft pen 4 works on your hp envy x360 laptop? With the palm rejection feature?
+Leonardo Cardenas no the Microsoft 4 pen doesn't work on the Hp envy x360.
GH Tech Review. Do you know any good Pen that works with that laptop? With the palm rejection feature
no I haven't come across any pens with it :/ that's why I ended up buying this drawing
Have you tried with the Dell Active Stylus 750-AAGN?, as far as I have Investigated that stylus might work on the HP laptop.
So rare to find such a complete review! Great job! *subscribes*
Thank you :)
This video is very long so here is a time stamp:
00:00 - 6:03 about the tablet
5:55 - 7:03 about the pen and OneNote
7:04 - 11:45 My drawing experience and drawing on tablet.
11:46 - 13:15 more on the surface pen 4 and tablet.
is it good for video editing on adobe premier and adobe after effects?
Xx2kBallaSqUaDxX 23 not on Adobe premiere, but on Adobe Photoshop you can do some light editing. With a few layers, I did 11 layers when I edited my TH-cam banner.
The single bad thing about is the fact that it dosen't come with the pen in some european countries.
Wooooow, I'm impressed, this is great review, but your drawing skills are awesome! Keep it up man.
jesus Jacobo Thank you! :)
Exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for this!
+Kent Salmon Glad my video helped.
I'm going looking forward getting a hands on this device. thanks for the review.
Herman Collymore Glad it was helpful :)
Wow! Love your drawings. Very good review.
PGI Cruiser Thank you :)
dude I'm more interested in your drawing talent than the original video now lol, good job on this vid. Subscribed!!
Joseph Stanley Thank you!! :D
wow, took me until this video to realise the pen had a battery compartment, i tried so hard to find it and didn't realised the cap was just screwed too tight xD ty
justin tran Haha that's funny 😁
Great review, thanks! Keep up with the digital art, you've got plenty of natural aptitude for it. I know digital art is a big blessing to me. God bless:-)
Brett Garner Thank you :D!
I came here because I was looking for a new more portable tablet for art school and I was really happy because you drew tony stark! I love tony stark so much lol
Amazing review, thank you!
+ilJim Thank you :)
Your drawing was exceptional....keep it up.....good video 😎😁😄
Thank you :).
@@ghtechreview you are most welcome
great art work!
Thank you :)
Great work!
Feby Enca Thank you :)
GH Tech Review you are welcome! Can I know what app that u use to draw?
Feby Enca It's called sketchbook. You can download it from the windows store.
I enjoyed watching draw and I appreciate your views on the ASUS Transformer mini.
Thank you
Which stylus did u use in hp envy?
can i connect this tablet to a windows laptop to use as a second mirrior?
I saw an ad for this tablet while doing homework and I think it'd be great for me to use as a beginner trying to create a manga. Do you think I'd be able to use Clip Studio Paint with this tablet? Also, can I hook it up to my HP laptop? Sorry if you already answered these in the review!
Thanks for the great review. I've had mine since December and it has been great, but I've only used it as a laptop. I really haven't tried the touchscreen or pen-based features. I'm about to go to a conference where I will be taking a lot of notes so I wanted to make sure it was up to the challenge. Thanks to your review I will be absolutely prepared. I have a question or two if you don't mind. Have you tried it with Evernote, if so how was it? I tend to use Evernote over OneNote. Also, what racing game were you playing? I don't do much gaming, but enjoy racing games and would like to give it a try during my quiet times on the road. Thanks for your help and excellent review. I particularly enjoyed your Iron-Man work. You are a wonderful artist.
Thank you for the complement! :), and no, I have only use OneNote on it to take notes on. Evernote should probably work somewhat the same, but I can't say if it acts up after a long time of writing on it. The game I was playing is called Asphalt 8.
Hey man, thanks for replying so quickly. I'm charging it up as I type this. Once I get it changed up I'll get Evernote loaded and give it a whirl. I'll also hunt down Asphalt 8 too. I had a feeling it was one of the Asphalt series, but there are so many. Thanks again and have a good weekend.
Thomas Hagan You're Welcome :). Hope you it goes well with Evernote. Have a great weekend as well.
how is the parallax? and dayum i never know asus have n-trig until i watch your review
Will the nibs on the surface pen work inside the Asus stylus? I'm looking to get new nubs for the Asus pen but don't know where to go
Can you give a link to the stylus you purchased? Thanks!
Thanks for the video man, one question, did you ever have problems with the wifi on this tablet, like it disconnecting, etc. or has everything been fine so far?
Hello, I have not had any issues with the tablet so far. Everything is going well besides hiccups on the every now and then.
Good review, thanks! Which case is that, and where did you get it, please????
Thank you, I got it off Amazon. Link is in the description.
Hi I'm having trouble configuring the 2 buttons on my pen. Where do you go for that? I tried to go to pen settings->pen shortcuts but the single and double click settings don't seem to work??
would you recommend this or the Lenovo miix 320 4g ram version.
Does the surface pen support tilt or more pressure on this tablet?
Could you please tell me how to use the buttons of the pen that it comes with ?
Hey you're an amazing artist!
Got a question for you - What drawing software did you use to draw? I have an Asus Rog Stix laptop and I want to draw digitally too. I have a digital drawing pad already.
Thank you 😊. I used the Sketchbook app. You can find it in the Microsoft store.
+GH Tech Review
Hi, and tnx for great review! I have some question, coz I have some doubts, maybe u can help me with this...
1) How long battery life when u whatch movies from SD card? From browser with WiFi?
2) How many RAM free spaces available when only Win 10 is running?
3) Can it charge from not ASUS charger? Can I charge it from my power bank?
4) Does system have some lags? When browsing? When typing? When drawing?
Which drawing program do you recommend to use on this tablet ? Thank you so much for that helpful review ! :)
The drawing program I like the most is sketchbook. You can get the desktop version that comes with more features or you can get the app one from the Microsoft store. It still has the essentials on it and it's more pen friendlier.
Perfect ! Thank you very much, you've actually helped me a lot to choose what to invest in to begin in digital drawing ! Hope you keep up with your drawings, they're amazing !
IValouChanI Thank you! ☺️. I'm glad I was helpful. I'll keep at it 👍
Can you use staff pad app in this tablet?
Hi what about photoshop? Does it run it smothly?
Did Corel draw can run at this laptop?
?Can you run editing software on it
Wow those iron man drawings are beautiful! Very nice dude! Anyways nice review, Im debating on buying this or the 14 inch hp notebook with the amd e2 processor. What do you think also how is the trackpad on that thing? Im not a fan of the buttonless trackpads on windows machines because most of the time they are shit
Thank you for the complement :). I have not own the 14 inch hp notebook so I can't really compare the two, but the Asus transformer mini keyboard is good. The trackpad is also good. It is very clicky and gestures work well on it.
Alright cool, thanks!(:
Hello, do you think that the Microsoft pen is also compatible with the Asus flipbook. There's no site i can find the answer.
Great review. This is a direct competitor to the old surface 3. How it handle office documents and worth the buy after this time? Thanks in advance.
Santiago Del Bono It's worth the buy, I wish I bought it sooner. I does tend to get slow at times when having a lot of tabs open on chrome. I found that edge handled it a bit better.
GH Tech Review yeah, edge manage better the ram memory as well as the video reproduction on TH-cam. Thanks for your quick reply. Cheers
Santiago Del Bono Your welcome, glad I can help :)
how is gnu linux on this tablet?
Thank you very much for this review.
So, can you confirm that this tablet is good in taking notes in class (like math graphs or tables)? And the stand works well when you keep the tablet on your legs with the keyboard? Thank you
Ahab Hyde It's good for taking math/physics notes in class but after a while like I mentioned in the video the eraser doesn't erase all the time when using the pen. After you written a lot that you have to zoom out and move around the page it's kind of slow at moving around so using multiple pages is better than writing on my one endlessly. Using it on the lap with the built in stand is difficult, it wobbles around a lot and sometimes causes the keyboard to disconnect unless you can keep very still. The case I have on helps it keep it stable when I have it on my lap.
Understood. Thank you!
I'm considering this. I had a drawing tablet before (no screen) but it wasn't for me but I've found that I'm drawing more and more on my Kindle firr with a rubbish stylus so I may get this when I have enough money 💰
Is the surface pen really that much better than the included one?
DeadPixelz The surface pen is as good as the Asus pen in terms of how well it performance. They both have the same level of pressure sensitivity. The Microsoft pen is better in features, the Microsoft pen has interchangeable soft tips. You can connect via Bluetooth to use the end button to launch OneNote and such. You can turn the pen over to erase without needing to click anything. But they both work as good on the tablet.
I am thinking of buying this because I prefer Windows to iOS (I have an iPad pro + pencil, which is quite good IMO. I just don't like iOS.) Is anyone using one of those "Paper-like" screen protectors with this tablet? With Surface Pro4, one can use different pen tips to achieve more friction, but my understanding is, Asus doesn't offer them, so that leaves two possibilities: Using a paper-like screen protector, or using the Surface pen with extra pen tips afaik...
hi, if i would buy a tablet to take notes in university, which one would you recommend me? now i have i pad mini 2, it is old and slow, i need a pen that is precise and fast. i thought to buy samsung tab or mucrosoft, but i am undecided. Do you have some advice? Thank you!
difference between this and the T101HA??
Just got the white and orange one off eBay for $249
Hi, you mentioned you used microsoft pen. I do have a transformer T101 but apparently it doesnt have an asus pen included. do you think microsoft pen will work if i buy it? or to be sure buy an asus pen? t101 is also touch screen.
Jeff Mi3 Better be safe than sorry am I right?
Jeff Mi3 Hi! I ordered the t101. I’d like to know your experience with it. Also, did a pen end up working? Thanks in advance!
Hey great review. Have you had any problems with this device turning off and not being able to turn back on? I've read alot of reviews saying that this is a good device but it is glitchy/stops working really quickly and people have to send it in for repairs. Has anything like this happened to you?
Marinthees when I tried to use a powerbank to charge the tablet, It wouldn't power on. As soon as I took it off the power bank and plug it into a wall i was able to get it to turn on. That was the only time. On turning off on its own, that has not happened to me. Hopefully mine doesn't have any of those issues. If it does I will post it here to let you all know.
Thanks for the quick reply. And again, this was a great review video
Marinthees thank you! :)
There is the new Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus out, it's more sensitive I hear.
+Paul Pham Too bad this tablet doesn't support Wacom stylus, it only supports N-trig pens.
Can we write without keyboard external ? I mean, virtual keyboard at this tablet did it work as well?
raxrzl yes you can use the virtual keyboard and it works well. I usually just use the pen to write with and converts it to text.
Is still good today?
Does the pen have pressure? if I use a special brush on PS. Thanks
Yes but you will lag on Photoshop depending on the brush and size and how big is the file you need to dedicate the the team saying to Photoshop and turn everything else down and only use Photoshop when using this tablet only split screen and multitask with other light art app don't drag pictures to ps open them from your folders hopefully this give your a starting idea
how to unable pen touch feature? I cant write on mines but I have the Asus T100 Transformer.
Not all the transformer are pen compatible
does the function to open onenote with the pen works with the surface pen?
Robert Baumann Yes, you can use the pen surface pen to open OneNote. you can connect the pen via Bluetooth with the tablet. Towards the end I show it at 12:20.
GH Tech Review awesome! thanks!
Can it edit videos
what program do you use for drawing in last video?
I use sketchbook enterprise. There's an app version in the windows store that works better with the pen.
@@ghtechreview Thank you
I am planning to buy this tablet for academic use. However, I do a lot of coding (i.e., C, Matlab) will it be able to run?
I'm planning to byt this ASUS mini so I did a lot o f research on it. Generally it's suppose to be a cool device for light stuff, but I read that more advanced things like photo editing or coding (it was mentioned in one of the rewieves) is just too much to handle for this laptop. It's insides are not the top shelf, it's generaly slow, so I imagine coding will be either extremely frustrating or simply impossible.
Its a silly question but can the OneNote files be saved on the tablet? or they are uploaded directly to OneDrive ??
Since on android, the onenote app always saves the files on onedrive and that doesnt suit me since the free cloud upload limit is only 5 Gbs
Houssam Seifeddine It saves it to the cloud. You can actually set the location you want it to store in the settings. Just go to files, then save and backpack and select the folder you wish to backup those files to.
Yeah that's what i mean, that i can choose where to save the onenote notebooks on the device. the android app strictly saves them to the cloud with no option to change it.
Yeah you can save it to the tablet. You just have to go to save and backup to Change the location.
when i use the stylus, it always lags and draws random lines. has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
Try updating digitizer drivers check your pen battery or the pressure menu and finally your dedicated program on your ram setting it takes a lot to fix this issue be careful with updates you need to get everything update the video graphic etc find a person that own one and know about this stuff I don't recommend you playing with it it's a big process to tune them to perfection good luck check the battery first
when you said "the face shading give you hard time" is that mean its get lag/become slow when you use it for long time drawing?
Vall Ey with that I meant that because I am not used to drawing on tablets and that was my first time trying to draw a face it was difficult for me. It was not the same as trying to paint. In order to get good shading and and a nice gradient blend you have to do layers by layers. It's not like when I draw where I only need to use the pressure of the pencil or when I paint to get a good blend. The tablet handled it well. There is that 1 second delay when you switch between your hand and pen though.
GH Tech Review oh glad to hear, I think its because the chip set performance not good enough for art, because its atom. thanks for replying immediately
Yeah no problem, and thanks for the feedback. I am getting the hang of it now. I am getting better at shading on almost as good as I can on painting.
How does Microsoft office apps run on the laptop?
They run fine, it does get a bit laggy on PowerPoint when you got a lot of slides, like 20 and so on.
Wich program did you use to make the Iron man drawing?
I used Sketchbook :)
And is it free?
Hi would you recommend this laptop for programmer and web developer?
Yes is your very patience and dedicate the tablet for just working and nothing else
i'm interested into this tablet to use it in the college for MS Office and media, on the media side can this tablet handle 720p or 1080p at 60fps smoothly without stutter on the browser (Chrome or Edge)??
I been using chrome and edge and it is able to run 1080p videos smoothly on chrome. On edge scrolling is a bit funky on TH-cam sometimes, but the videos play well on both. It makes a good laptop for school.
Can you use the keyboard while it's disconnected from the computer
Lewis no, the keyboard doesn't support bluetooth, but that would be cool though.
Does ur hand mess with the drawing life if u were using paoer skin would smear the led ?
No, you can rub your hand on it and won't smear.
hello , i am looking for a budget tab that i will be using in my math and physics class. Would you advise me getting this ?. I heard samsung galaxy tab A 2016 was good too.
greg austin I used mine for physics and math too. It has been working good. After a few OneNote updates it has been a bit smoother on taking notes. I'm not sure how the Galaxy tab A (2016) performs on a day to day usage for taking notes. I would recommend the Asus, but the Samsung tab has a better display and better camera that's for, so it really depends on what tradeoffs your willing to make since they both are around the same price.
GH Tech Review thanks for the fast reply, one last question, how this tab compare to surface pro 3 ? i assume asus processor is a bit weaker than I3 and M3 ?
greg austin yes the Atom x5 is weaker than both the m3 and core i3. If you want to be able to do multitasking without much hiccup's here and there than the surface 3 would be ideal. With the Asus you will see some lag a couple times when multitasking. Like after having 10 web apps open and word or Excel.
Do ya think i could play simple games like minecraft
have you had any problem since you bought this transformer mini t102ha? cz i'm very confused these days about buying this product or not. *is it slow* when you open few google tabs or watch video on youtube. (i am not talking about playing games or watching movies but all i need is surfing the net for my study stuffs.... ) thanks :)
Sadia Chowdhury just for surfing the web it's great. I've had 10 tabs max open on chrome and handled it well. I found that it was smoother on Microsoft edge. Except on edge, scrolling through TH-cam is kinda laggy. What I like the most is the awesome battery life :o. With just web alone getting about 10 hours.
thank you for having responded quickly.... and it sounds very great that you can open 10 tabs on chrome !! ^_^ actually all i need is a mini good laptop or tablet for study time. .. btw thank you very much ^_^
Sadia Chowdhury Your welcome :)
anyway cool vid and cool drawing
abi vastolorde Thank you :)
tbh, i like the drawing part more though, hahaha, you should post drawing tutorial sometimes
abi vastolorde haha I might just do some tutorials later on. Thanks for the suggestion 👊
how is the pressure sensitivity?
Miki Fubuki it's great. I have really been liking it a lot.
Hi. Can I use a 1TB external HD on this?
erwin021777 yeah it will read it if you have the hardrive formatted as an external one when connecting to it.
GH Tech Review thanks a lot..
erwin021777 your welcome :)
What Microsoft pen did you buy?
Cherrytheninja I bought the Microsoft pen 4/ Microsoft Pen v4.
Does it run on Google play store as well ?
No, just on the windows store.
Surface pro3 pen will work?
+KilGrave 09 The surface pro 3 will work. That's when Microsoft moved to N-trig active pens. The pro 2 pen won't work since it uses a Wacom digitizer.
Is it normal to format like any common laptop?
Xaviel2ul2u what do you mean by format? Like factory reset?
GH Tech Review Yeah, or Reinstalling Windows 10.
Xaviel2ul2u yeah, people like to reinstall Windows when their is a new windows upgrade because they want a fresh install.
when is asus transformer mini t102HA release ?
ace phyo it's been out since last year. I believe since May 30, 2016.
GH Tech Review thx for the answer, should i wait newer version of transformer or should i get this?
btw,
nice review and nice drawings 👏 appreciate the review
ace phyo the 2017 transformer mini t103 was announced on may 30th, but the only difference is that it has a built in e-sim and supports 4g LTE. The form factor and specs are the same. I would get this one since it's on sale for $249.
GH Tech Review thx for all the answer 😃
ace phyo Thanks for watching and your welcome :)
Where can I purchase the same case you got?
I got it off amazon. Here is the link to it: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0BYRS4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
GH Tech Review thank you!
you're welcome :)
How much memory free in this laptop ?
Lack on it you need external hard drive to back up everything and keep it free can't have many programs and app
asus pen use n-trig?
abi vastolorde yeah it's pretty cool because you can use the Microsoft surface pen.
good for a beginner in digital art?
Yes, this is what I learned on
could I use this to do some light photo editing
yes you can do some light photo editing. I just recently downloaded adobe Photoshop and it handle fairly well. I used it to edit my TH-cam banner.
GH Tech Review awesome! That is so great to hear. Thank you so much the quick response. Review was good along with your drawing skills. Subscribed and liked 😉
GH Tech Review one more question, could I also use it as a second monitor?
no, it is only HDMI out.
Thank you for the complement and subscribing :)
Mine worked for about 6 months and now it doesn't even turn on :( or even charge
It should still be under warranty. Have Asus check it out.
Can you make it gaming review ? Like PUBG mobile
can't use sketchbook pro on this device...need help
does it just not show up anymore on the Microsoft store to download?
@@ghtechreview yes...i resolve the problem, what happened is everytime i touch the screen with the pen, the pen becomes a eraser😅 i just double click the lower button of the pen to removed the eraser....thanks for the reply👌
@@solosajay0922 oh haha okay. Glad to hear that it worked out.
Can you play league of legends
:( cant afford one.. ..
How do i pair asus collection pen?
Are u a artist?
I have been drawing for quite some time so I guess you can say that.
Quadruple A battery LOL
it's a thing. They are very small x)
FireAlpaca is a very better app. You don't need your finger to zoom
+Tsubaki Atlintilia oh nice I'll check it out later and see how it works. Thank you.
Has someone tried to install linux on this tablet?
Michele Panutsos i have the same question.
No thanks. You are comparing it to a second monitor aka Graphic Monitor Tablet. Nope, this tablet has Windows, but this version it's made to work like a phone (Gaming, permorfance, etc) not like a regular tablet.
Shi Shi What? I didn't compare it to anything?
Sponsored video. The tablet is crap. 400 dollars tablet abd you get a crap hd display in 2018.
Catalin Iolea it's not a 2018 tablet, also I bought this tablet with my own money. Not sponsored.
