At IFA 2013 in Berlin last week, besides the debut of ASUS MeMO Pad 8 and MeMO Pad 10, the Taiwanese company also unveiled a new Windows 8 tablet / laptop hybrid device that is powered by 4th generation Intel Core Haswell processor. The device is called ASUS Transformer Book T300.
Transformer Book T300 features a 13.3-inch Full HD screen display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. There are three choice of Intel Core processors – a Core i3-4010U, i5-4200U, or i7-4500 chip. The device runs an Intel HD 4000 graphics, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM and NGFF SSD options of either 64, 128 or 256GB.
The device has a front-facing camera capable of capturing 720p HD video and a rear 1080p full HD camera. On the tablet part, you can find a USB 3.0 port, a micro-HDMI port, a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack. The detachable keyboard dock includes a USB 3.0 port.
Transformer Book T300 runs Windows 8 and is expected to receive free upgrade to Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 will be available from October 18 onwards.
