Good review guys, thank you for your concise brief to the point facts and it helped me alot.
I appreciate the no-hype, silly chatter that other videos have. You're excellent, Cheers, don
yeah !
hi.. thanks for the video...just one question..may we record what we write on screen using screen recorder or other software
I want the T305CA (I7-7y75 version) but can't find it anywhere!!
Why Asus is so slow when it comes to bringing their products to market? It's happening with their smartphones too
(i.e Zenfone 3 Deluxe Special Edition is not available anywhere!)
yayyyy love review videos ^,,^
thanks Kattz!
I bought one last June and love it.
i (peter) currently have one too !
Would you recomend this for drawing?
Hey guys thanks for the review! I notice in your video, the screen has horizontal lines, almost like an old cathode ray TV :) Are there really lines, or is it just due to difference in video frequency between the screen and your video camera?
yea it's hard to film a screen that has a digitizer layer, and a glass layer,
Hello i really liked your video...i have this laptop and my pen doesn't work! How did you paired the pen with the laptop? Can u please make a video on that or tell me.
can I use the pen with the ASUS transformer 360 TP550L
I bought a case for mine and it is hell to take off. Plus, I can't seem to get the stand to function when the case is on. Can you please do a video on cases for this?
How well does this device multi-task? Say with a few tabs open online and different programs? And also how well does it load and run applications such as Photoshop for example?
Can I use this to type and edit my masters thesis?
how do i customise the buttons on the pen??
hows the resolution when viewing a textbook in portrait mode? Like are the words crisp and legible at normal zoom? Or does it look pixelated?
would i be able to edit home movies from a app on this item? thanks
Thank you for your content on this device! The screen appears quite interlaced (horizontal lines), are they that apparent in person?
no, its only because the camera doesnt play well with the screen and digitizer
Thanks!
Question:Does this 2-in-1 allow you to write with the stylus while your hand is on the screen? I assume so since it's made for stylus use. It looks like you've got your hand on the screen while writing with the pen, but I want to be sure before buying.
The kindle app from the app store is actually the mobile version used in Windows phone 8. I think you could install the Kindle for PC directly from Amazon.
its going away soon so dont worry too much lol
How does the stylus feel on the screen? Is it similar to the Surface Pen that has a little bit of friction/rubbery feel? I have a Thinkpad Pro 2 right now and the stylus is hard plastic that is quite slippery on the screen.
can i use a 1tb externel in this mini??
How does this compare to the Lenovo Yoga Book in terms of the note-taking capability?
would it be good for photoshop and alittle animation
Can this do stylus only mode? I want to use this to correct student papers. Will I be able to rest my hand on it and have it detect my stylus rather than my hand and wrist?
yes
@@goodereader hi I know its probably too late to ask, but how do I turn this on? Because of my palm resting I get missing strokes or dots from my palm all over the page. I turned the 'ignore touch input when I'm using my pen' in settings on. Please help I really want this to work but if its not gonna start reading the strokes properly I'm gonna have to return it :( it just seems that when I end a stroke (for example when I was writing number 5) once I finish the first stroke it starts to read my palm and the next stroke is either some garbage make by my palm or it starts late and I get an empty space. What should I do? Sorry for my English :)
does external harddisk of 1 tb work with it??
I've read a lot about people having this thing stop turning on after a months usage and a lot of people having to return it for repairs. Has this happened to you guys?
Is this device good for some programming? I want a 2-in1 that can run Python. Is this worth it or am I better off buying a used surface pro
is it palm rejection?
how well do programs like Clip Studio and Photoshop run on it
not too bad
It dosen't include the pen in Romania,so that's crap :'
Well done review....
thanks so much
This looks like an interesting device from Asus. I'm really loving the ergonomic design and the build quality.
It's better than it's predecessor (T101) and it i still in a decent price range, making it a better upgrade than simply being forced to buy the older model for the affordability. So far, i'm also pleased that they didn't go too high-end with this one in display resolution as that is the usual battery guzzler and can lead to disappointing short sessions for the most basic tasks, just for the sake of looking good while doing it. I love small devices like this one and it's currently on my number one list to buy, when it comes to my country. I'm definitely not planning to play any games or do some heavy processing stuff so this would be more than a decent desktop replacement option for the road.
*But i have a few questions:*
1. How does the battery life feel? Too short, decent or long?
I'm hoping i can get at least 8+ hours on it, given the fact i'm not a power user. So the stuff would include web browsing, watching streams, YT clips, some programming work and office work. I don't believe i would be watching movies on it at any point in time and definitely no gaming. I know that the manufacturer says 11 hours of video playback but it's always shorter in practice, depending on specific user needs.
2. Resolution is 1280x800 and on your videos, camera recording the desktop portion looks real grainy. Almost like i can see the pixel groups. I've seen 1280x800 displays but they didn't look like that. So my question is, is it the camera's fault or does the display have poor pixel density? I'm definitely not going to be looking at it through a magnifying glass so my only concern is that it really isn't a poor viewing experience for the eyes.
3. I'm not a stylus user so i'd be probably skipping it.
How does the trackpad feel like? In some previous models, users were split between meh and decent reviews of the trackpad. I'm hoping they didn't cut the budget on this one in favor of some flavor like fingerprint sensor, stylus and a tablet rest part on the back. I also feel like this is something that inflated the price a bit but i don't really mind.
4. How does multitasking feel like?
Budget laptops such as this one usually have a threshold on how much things can be running at a time before it slows down but i am fairly certain that it's quad-core processor and 4GB of RAM are up to the task. I'm not looking for something that can keep millions of tabs in a browser open (Chrome) or 17 programs at once but some tolerance towards mediocre multitasking should be implied.
5. Will you be doing more reviews of the T102HA in the future?
The Unboxing and this video were informative but i'm afraid that those aren't enough to show off an amazing device like this one. I'm certainly hoping you'd make mroe videos, specifically aimed at benchmarks, multitasking, etc...
I am glad i stumbled upon your channel.
You have great content in there. Thanks for the reviews :)
1. too short of course, like most tablets do.
2.its just overall not a display-power house. its meant to be cost efficient and portable
3. it feels fine, not quite laptop esque but still good
4. multi tasking is fine, in that regard, its quite laptop-like
5. we may not, no. this was a review sample but unless companies send us more products, we may not seek out any further models
Thanks for the epic comment !@
You're welcome.
And thanks for the review. They did make a difference in my decision. :)
Unfortunately for me, there are not a lot of proper reviews on this model yet on YT but i have some time to look for that information until it hits the stores in my country.
Unless I missed it what are you considering short? how long with normal usage will it last?
How does the T102 compare to the T103? I can't really find anything highlighting the differences
Nice video guys! Could you do a more comprehensive pen test, showing how good the pen is at tracking at angles by zooming in close while writing slowly with a fine tip? I'm interested in this thing, as I'm sure many students are, and the pen accuracy is a huge point of consideration for note taking.
we may get around to doing that, yes
Goodereader Alright, thanks. It's really tough to find comprehensive pen reviews even though for students and artists, it is one of the most important features.
Hi guys! Thank you for the video. However, you forgot to mention information about the battery life. How many hours can you get with this device? thank youu c:
we're seeing about 6 with watching movies and stuff, and otherwise on stabdby with the wifi off... a few days maybe
Just bought a used one off ebay! Can't wait! it's 2022
How does it do with light gaming?
Hey. I was thinking to buy this tablet because i have a very heavy laptop so i need something light for my study. Is this tablet okey for microsoft office and for web browsing (is it not luggy?) ? Thank you
How do i pair the pen?
Hi. Can it run netflix videos on 4K?
hi guys can u guys say how good is it for students to take notes during lectures on PDFs directly and in general for students ... I am planing to buy this tab but have not seen any review in this regard ... one more thing how good is the apps availability for this device
I hadn't a AAAA battery in the pen but a "Button Pile AG#". Which battery should I use? I've a Transformer too.
Where I can buy?
my pen isnt working....how do you connect it?
What happened to battery life?
How would you compare the pen experience with Surface 4 and iPad Pro?
this pen is quite nice and the screen is awesome. i personally havent used the pen on the ipad pro yet
i'm wondering if the pen has a palm rejection feature 🤔
yes it does
Does the pen have pressure for drawing? if I use a special brush on PS. Thanks
yes it does !
@@goodereader Thanks for the answer! this is with the original pen?
I planned on building a pc and buying a surface pro 4 for in class notes but this seems better since I'm only going to be using it for notes
good stuff
Hi TheRedArrowHD, did you get this tablet? I also plan to use it for in class note taking and very minimal use such as instant messaging, light browsing, and video watching while at school. How is your experience with this tablet (if you bought it), thanks :)
Lydia Tran no I decided to just use my old laptop whenever I need to use my computer in class. But the tablet seems super capable of doing everything you said.
Can you put ur palm on the screen while writing?
how does it work in photoshop? My hubs was thinking of getting one to work on textures for designs so he doesn't have to sit in the office all day
its alright, nothing to write home about
Do you know if it could run R statistics and a couple of excel spreadsheets at the same time?
i do not know what R statistics is
but you know excel right?
I'll be getting it in a bit. I can answer that for you. But the answer should be YES. R is pretty light-weight, even with RStudio. For most basic stats, it'll probably be fine. There's an ancient desktop on my lab that can run R on a reasonably large dataset just fine. You'll definitely notice slowdowns with larger datasets, loops, and complex computations, but it'll do the job.
With R, the most important bottleneck is RAM. R runs everything on RAM. This has 4 gigs, which should be fine. Not sure what kind of data you're working with.
For excel, you might have some issues with larger sheets.
am getting one
would it be good for producing music like using reaper , fl studio one 3 , or mixcraft 7?
traevon1397 im betting it will have issues with desktop FLstudio running full tilt. my old quad core baytrail tablet could barely keep up with the demo tracks running standard plugins
pen comes with it? whats the pressure points?
yes
1024
Does word,PowerPoint,excel, and access come installed already on the tablet?
no it does not
Can it run photoshop? Or some light edditing on premiere pro?
im sure it could, just not that smoothly
Goodereader thx a lot!! I love your videos!!
awesome. thats great to hear BD !
could you please mention a windows tab which comes with or supports pen which does not require battery (like samsung s pen)
you need to find a tablet with Wacom support then, that's what the S-pen uses.
thanks for replying. bought hp elite x2 1011
what tech does the pen use? wacom, synaptics or n-trig?
n-trig as it uses a battery..
Bought this for my daughter, she uses it for note taking in class with the pen, does her homework and spends hours doodling. As a pad alone it is very good, as a surface pc? ok it isn't going to blow the socks off any ms product but you could be savvy. Get this for day to day web/work and get the cheap lynx 8 xbox/pc streaming pad. total cost for both was 350 sterling. 2 happy kids, Priceless.
My pen doesn't work, so how do you turn it on?
Did you remove the plastic/paper insert inside the pen?
@@Chimpur thank you so much. U are a life saver. I got my asus zenbook last day but could not activate the pen. I was basically pulling the pen nip. I searched everywhere online but could not get anything until i found your comment
The fingerprint reader is working well?
yes it is
This or lenovo yoga book?
i would go for this guy
Any college student here ? does it replace notebooks ? in class note taking and studying ...
it could but it depends on the person
Hamad Jassim I feel like it could if you have a notetaking app installed like one note.
I just got it, and i perfectly replaced my laptop. This is more like a laptop than a tablet!
My question is, when you taking notes, does your hand need to be hover or it's ok to touch the screen like we take notes on the normal paper?
your hand can be on the screen like normal paper while writing with the stylus. it will only recognize the stylus or your finger but not both at the same time.
Can you run Office on this?
David Gauthier yeah but you have to pay
For everyone asking about games, It will be able to run anything that is 2d, Indie games just might be your new favorite hobby. However, you can run any game on this thing via google's remote desktop application, if you happen to have a gaming pc at home, and a reasonable connection. You're welcome :3
Nice, better and cheaper than surface 3 ->560 dollars with keyboard against 400 with keyboard and pen (Asus)
yea its got a lot going for it
sombody testet alternative stylus pens
Does the cover come with the transformer
?
If by cover you mean keyyboad/trackpad.. then yes.
I wish Asus put an Atom x7 in this instead of the x5. The only bad thing about this is that it would be slower than the old Surface 3 that Microsoft recently discontinued.
yea i hear ya
Yeah but even Atom x7 is pretty weak..
You've commented on the Atom processor a few times in this thread already. It's no secret that the Atom processor is weak and people buying this should know that, but let's get real. I have a desktop for audio editing and other things that require processing power. A tablet is for running the office package, playing DuoLingo, watching Netflix and reading online articles and for that the Atom is competent. I've even been on a Chromebook with a weak Celeron processor and 2GB of RAM for three years and it's been great most of the time. It weighs less than 1,4kg, the battery life is 11 hours and it was ridiculously cheap. The only thing a decent i5 would have added to my experience would have been an emptier wallet, a little bit of weight, a growingly noisy fan and shorter battery life.
slow charging truth?
depends on what country youre in and the amp of your port
Goodereader thank's dude, but if we just using for basic like browsing and word something like that, is that lil bit lag?
I was down to 20-25% battery and it took about 1:45 min too 2 hours to charge up to 100%
Can this be used for games like Sims 4? Or any kind of gaming?
it could be, yes
Awesome. Where can I find this at for a good
Price? Most sites say it's about $400.
Evelyn Marie no this isn't good for gaming any desktop programs run kind of slow on atom.
Microsoft store has it starting at $279 for the president day's sale.
Ms Queen Evelyn It can be but it’s REALLY slow. When I play League of Legends it drops to 10 fps when it was originally 20 fps (still bad).
first i wanna call bull shit on the 11hr battery life. naw not by a long shot. maybe 6 at the most. battery indicator is very shotty. but other than that im very very happy with my purchase. performance and screen quality is just fine for what i use if for, which is lite gaming, lite paperwork, moderate web browsing and watching HD movies. btw nothing should have less than 4gigs of ram these days lol its a requirement! anywho I think they done pretty well for its class and market. heavy gamers and photo/video editors with power hungry apps shouldn't be looking in the 300 dollar range anyway. they should be in the 700 and up. not saying this one couldn't hang. lol it could. just with time.
its also worth noting that in tablet mode without the keyboard the pen can magnetically attach to the side of the tablet where the keyboard goes ☺
Lakario Davis I have it and mine went for a full 10hr bettery life without overvharging.
hmm, maybe i should return mine.
😻😻😻😻
Can you rest your hand on the screen and write? Also, what is it like for note taking?
how much?
Mømø Râhmâñ $279 I saw it on a commercial lol
You forgot to review the TRACKPAD!!!!
but its a laptop like any other lol
Is it good for programming?
as long as its not too intensive
NO! The Atom Z8350 in this tablet is about as powerful as the CPU inside Samsung Galaxy S5, yeah you heard that correct, a phone released 3 years ago.
This one is like a red apple in the market , looks premium but wont get that crunch ..
I know you said you weren't gonna argue but it's the correct pronunciation is "Ayy-soos".
lol
Goodereader
just sayin :P good video btw
This lab can be play simple games 2016
lab?
I mean asus transformer mini can i play simple games 2016
??????????????????/
In spanish please.
1280x800 on 10 Inch?? - This must be some kind of joke. This is HORRIBLE!!!
not horrible,
I saw a lot of 1280*800 tablet (for example, the T100HA) in person, and the 150 PPI is horrible. And a shame.
Slightly better, then the first iPad, 6 years ago... :(
Sad... rally sad.
Registration Spam well your buying a mid range tablet/laptop that needs to stay within a certain price range.
one of the worst tablets ever. Takes 5 mins to open firefox
there is no way that a properly working tablet will take five full minutes to launch any application. There is something wrong with your device I think
