An ASUS Transformer Book T100HA-C4-GR Review Won't Answer These 35 Questions

THE OWNERS MANUAL CONTAINS INFO ON HOW TO CHARGE THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR, THATS VIRTUALLY IT. IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL USER INFO?

• There are a lot of features for this combo tablet. I'm doing an online degree and hauling my home laptop everywhere or splitting time with my family was tough. The Transformer has truly replaced my laptop. Now for the extra features: You can charge the laptop in two different ways: Through the regular micro USB or the high-speed C connector. It has an HDMI and an audio port also. When connected to the keyboard has a regular USB. With the C connector and a C to USB adapter, you can use the USB on the tablet by itself without the keyboard. I'm a big guy, but I am still able to manage the small keyboard. What else do you need to know? The bottom line for me was that I needed a full Windows operational, easy to carry a device that I can use to read my books, that the battery life will last a whole airplane trip no matter what I was doing and I didn't want to spend over $600 on a Surface or other device. This is a great device for $300.

• I was stumped too. My wife found a fairly complete user's manual on line. I'm still hoping to find a good u-tube on the camera though. All in all I'm getting better at using the little thing and like it a lot. Good Luck.

• I also had the same user manual without any details on anything else except some basic information about controls and charging. I don't find any more information on the product after registering it on Asus website.

• That is all the more information I got with mine


DOES THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR HAVE A MICRO SD MEMORY SLOT?

• Here is the correct answer. ACCORDING to ASUS's own website, their user manual and my personal handling of this model - it handles MICRO SD cards from SD through XC. WHat doers that mean? Below are the definitions of those terms...but basically it means this model can accept all forms of micro SD cards. Micro SD = 2 GB or less. Micro SD HC = between 4 and 32 GB. Micro SD XC = 32 GB to 2 TB currently. Now, what is UNCLEAR is the capacity recognition limit of the card reader. ASUS does not provide any documentation. Theoretically, it should utilize up to 128GB sized cards...but it should also handle more than that. I do not have any definite limitation answer to provide here.

• So which of the above is correct? Even on the Asus specs per their website, it's listed as a microSD/microSDXC 2-in-1 card reader. I do assume the 64GB is the limit on size, however?

• I have the T100HA. It has a microSD slot. I'm using "PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, up to 90MB/sec Flash Card" and it works great!

• No, it does not use Micro SD card. This model unit use standard SD card reader (SDXC).


I WAS THINKING ABOUT BUYING THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR, AS I ONCE OWNED ONE. I USE A FLAT BED SCANNER AND DO A LOT OF SCANNING. WOULD THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR HANDLE THIS?

• Honestly I do not know. I will point out there is only one micro USB port (not a full size USB), so you need to know how you plan to connect the scanner to this "tablet". Also, remember there is limited SSD storage space. I will say the unit is light weight, fast and the battery life is truly long as billed.

• I am very happy with this laptop - perfectly fits my need for a small ultraportable laptop for travel - and the detachable tablet is a bonus. But I wouldn't think it would be optimal for scanning - it has a 10" screen and limited memory - great for traveling but not ideal I would think for a scanning application

• I am not totally sure but as it does use Windows 10 I would think so. This machine has a great processor and plenty of RAM. It has done everything I have asked of it.

• I would say yes I love mine I use scanning printing lots of photos it is the best machine.


I WANT A CASE THAT FITS THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR THE BEST, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMEND GUYS?

• Just an update on my * ASUS Transformer Book T100HA Case, Infiland Premium PU Leather Keyboard Portfolio Stand Cover Case For ASUS Transformer Book T100HA 10.1" Laptop arrived today. It works perfectly. It fits snug and tight and looks great. Glad I was able to get a case for my T100HA.

• I purchased IVSO ASUS Transformer T100HA Leather Keyboard Portfolio Stand Cover Case-Will Only fit ASUS Transformer T100HA Tablet (Red) because it is specific for the T100HA, I have not received it so I can not comment on the fit.

• I tried to purchase the IVSO ASUS and it was shipped back as they said Customs would not pass it. Looking to buy somewhere else. Did receive the refund.

IS THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR THE NEWEST MODEL? CAN WE GET A HARD DRIVE KEYBOARD DOCK FOR THIS MODEL? THE PREVIOUS MODEL YOU COULD

• Getting a Docking station might be hard for this model...you cannot add to it because it does not have any port to it..only one USB port...and that is only USB 3.0, you can add wireless or bluetooth keyboard ..Hope you find it helpfull...Thank you

• You can get a keyboard dock for this model but they did not make a hard drive dock as it is the low end model try the next step up model they should (this is also last years model)


DOES THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR HAVE MICROSOFT OFFICE?

• Actually, I am writing word document with this tablet.... but it still does not have Microsoft office. it has instead "word mobile" and "wordpad" with wich I can write word documents. it also has powerpiont mobile and excel mobile. if you wont Microsoft office you deserve a trial of one month, after the trial you can buy office 365 by paying each month something like 8 or more dollars.

• It can support Microsoft Office but I'm not sure if the office suite is preloaded. I run Microsoft Office on this computer.

• Yes it does, it's preloaded


IS THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR A TABLET, OR A LAPTOP? THE REVIEWS DIDN'T REALLY HELP.

• It is both. With the tablet connected to the keyboard dock you can use it as a small laptop. Or you can pull the tablet off and have a 10 inch tablet. I sent mine back as the touch screen kept locking up and I bought it mainly for use as a tablet so it was pretty useless for me.

• This model unit is a like a 2 in 1 device. It can be used a laptop and it can be also used as a tablet.

• Laptop


 DOES THE ASUS TRANSFORMER BOOK T100HA-C4-GR HAVE A FORWARD FACING CAMERA, PIXELS?

• Yes. Rear Camera takes 16:9 1920X 1080 / 30fps videos and Front Camera takes 16:9 1280 X 720 / 30fps. Rear Camera takes 2560 X 1440 X96 pixels / inch pictures and Front camera takes 1280 X 720 X 96 pixels / inch. I bought it because its light and fast with plenty of storage, outruns my i5 HP laptop I bought last year.

• Yes a 2Mp Camera as per the ASUS website. I haven't actually used it.

• Don't know bought it as a Christmas gift

• It does but I am not sure about pixels.

• Yes 2MP


 FOR ASUS SUPPORT (MANUFACTURER), HOW CAN I TO FIX THE "GHOST CLICK ISSUE" WITHOUT HAVING TO SEND IT TO TECHNICAL SUPPORT?

• I don't use tablet while charging, if malfunctioning touch occurs,I disable it through windows device manager. In some cases(but it's extremely dangerous!) bending tablet a bit could help for a while. Anyway, ASUS should had take a bit more attention to tablet design. It seems that this issue caused by chasing "thinner, lighter" design at the expense of reability

• What's mean "ghost click"? My T100HA is OK


 CAN THE SLOW CHARGING BE FIXED BY USING A DIFFERENT AC ADAPTER?

• If the battery is charging really slow, please verify if the BIOS version is 211. If the BIOS version is up to date and the issue persists, please try to do a battery calibration manually by draining the battery completely without the AC adapter connected then charge it fully without the system being used or power on.

• The slow charging only occurs if the tablet is completely dead, and using a different adapter would not solve anything.


DOES THIS 2-1 TRANSFORMER BOOK COME WITH BLUETOOTH AND/OR GPS? I AM BAFFLED THAT THE DESCRIPTION DOES NOT MENTION EITHER.

• The tablet has Bluetooth but no GPS (I have a separate bluetooth GPS that connects and works well). I can also connect GPS (several different units via WiFi and via USB to serial port adapter).

 HOW DOES THE KEYBOARD COMMUNICATE? BLUETOOTH? OR "HARDWIRE"? I'VE NEVER LIKED THE INITIAL LATENCY AND FLAKEYNESS OF THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION.
