Singapore (24 August 2016) -
ASUS today announced the availability of the new Transformer Book T101, which
is the latest addition to its successful series of 2-in-1 detachable laptops. The
10.1-inch Transformer Book T101 has a metallic design and is light and
compact, weighing only 580 grams as a tablet, and just 1.08kg with the keyboard
attached. It features a reversible magnetic hinge that allows its display to be
flipped over, providing users with the convenience and flexibility of four versatile
modes: a conventional lightweight laptop, a handy tablet, tent mode for easy
screen sharing, and stand mode as a personal movie theater. With its incredibly
long battery life of up to 11-hours[1]
dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, full-size USB port, and complete Windows 10 functionality,
the Transformer Book T101 is the ideal mobile companion. The Transformer
Book T101 is available at all ASUS Brand Stores and authorised retailers at
$399 from 29 August onwards in pink and grey colours.
Durable
and Stylish
The Transformer Book T101 is stylish and
elegant, with an all-aluminium tablet and a keyboard surround that features a
chic honeycomb-inspired textured pattern. The aluminium construction not only
looks great, but it also makes the Transformer Book T101 more durable
and resistant to everyday knocks and bumps. Lightweight construction also
allows the Transformer Book T101’s tablet to be slim and light, weighing
at only 580g, making it ideal as a mobile lifestyle companion. The Transformer
Book T101 is available in two vibrant colours of pink and grey.
Versatile
and Reversible Hinge
The Transformer Book T101 features a
reversible magnetic hinge that connects the tablet and keyboard. This
solidly-engineered hinge allows the tablet to be detached, flipped over and
reattached, providing two convenient extra modes in addition to the standard
laptop and tablet configurations. Tent mode is great for sharing the screen
contents with a group of people, while stand mode turns it into a compact personal
movie theater.
Powerful, precisely positioned magnets ensure
that the tablet can be attached quickly and accurately with minimal effort. To
ensure long-term reliability, the reversible hinge has been rigorously tested
with a 25,000-cycle mechanical hinge swing test.
The slim keyboard has ergonomic keys with a 1.5mm
key travel— longer than that of most mobile keyboards, and the same as a full-size
laptop. This long key travel provides more reassuring feedback for every key
strike and replicates the comfortable typing experience of a full-size laptop. The
keyboard also features a Precision Touchpad with support for Windows gestures. This
touchpad has palm-rejection technology that intelligently recognises and
ignores accidental presses of the palm during typing, allowing users to rest
their hands naturally and comfortably while typing.
Clear,
Sharp and Bright Display
The anti-glare touchscreen display on Transformer Book T101 has a sharp 1280 by
800 HD resolution. With up to 400cd/m2 brightness, it is one of the brightest
10.1-inch displays ever made. It has wide 178° viewing angles, and ASUS
TruVivid direct-bonding technology ensures higher transparency and improved clarity,
with fewer reflections in bright environments — even in bright sunlight. Exclusive
ASUS Tru2Life video-enhancement technology — similar to that found in high-end
TVs — uses intelligent software algorithms to optimise the sharpness and
contrast of every video frame, so that videos look clearer, more detailed and
more realistic.
Powerful
Components
Despite its compact size, the Transformer Book
T101 packs powerful components that include the latest quad-core Intel®
Atom™ X5 Series processor, 2GB RAM, up to 32GB eMMC storage, a
microSD Card reader that can support up to 512GB storage, and fast dual-band
802.11ac Wi-Fi. These components operate in complete silence, thanks to the Transformer
Book T101’s fanless design, thus allowing users to work or play without distracting
noises. It also comes with a more comprehensive set of connectors than other similar-sized
devices. These include a full-size (Type-A) USB 2.0 port, a micro HDMI display
port, and a microUSB port that can also be used for charging the device. The
microUSB port also supports charging from external power banks, enabling users
to extend the already impressive up to 11-hour battery life[2]
even further, for all-day convenience and optimised mobile productivity
on-the-go.
An Amazing
Windows Experience
The Transformer Book T101 also supports
Cortana, an innovative Windows personal assistant that allows natural
interaction via its powerful voice-recognition technology. Furthermore, it automatically
detects if the keyboard is attached and reconfigures itself for the ideal user
experience as a laptop or tablet.

The Transformer Book T101 is available
in pink and grey colours at all ASUS Brand Stores and authorised retailers at
