Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA-UHBF Signature Edition 2-in-1 PC
The Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA-UHBF Signature Edition 2-in-1 PC offers an 11.6-inch touch display, compact and convertible multimode design, basic computing components, and Windows 10 OS as the main characteristics.
The TP200SA-UHBF Signature Edition with a dark blue plastic chassis is lightweight and thin computer, with a weight of 2.6 pounds and 0.7″ thickness. It has the budget-class 1366-by-768 HD display resolution, but inclusion of IPS wide viewing angle technology is a good selling point. Besides the touch screen, you can use the chiclet-style keyboard and trackpad in the traditional laptop mode. The device is meant for daily computing – web surf, essay and email writing, YouTube videos, and similar – with light multitasking involved, not much more. That’s because it has the very basic Intel Celeron N3050 dual-core processor paired with 2GB of system memory. Thankfully, this 2-in-1 laptop model doesn’t have crippled storage space of only 32 Gigabytes, like many of its similar competitors. Instead, it offers 64GB eMMC storage. It isn’t a great capacity like on 500GB+ old-school hard drives, but 64GB is a nice upgrade over 32GB. In addition, eMMC storage offers somewhat faster read and write speeds than HDDs.
Although the Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA-UHBF Signature Edition is a small notebook, Asus has manged to squeeze in many usable features. Besides stereo speakers and a low-resolution VGA web camera, the 2-in-1 PC houses 802.11AC wireless, Bluetooth, a new USB-C type port besides a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, micro HDMI video output, a microSD card slot, and a combo audio jack.
The built-in 38 WHr battery is able to provide up to eight hours of battery life, according to Asus.
On the software side, worth mentioning is a free 1-year Microsoft Office 365 Personal subscription, besides clean Windows 10 “Signature Edition” installation without bloatware programs.
The computer is currently priced at 349.00, but during Microsoft Store’s Black Friday 2015 sales (starting November 26th) the price will drop to $229.00.
