[PConline stand-alone evaluation] The continuous downturn in the tablet market has accelerated the development of the 2in1 tablet. Almost all PC makers launched their own 2in1 products last year and early this year. The ThinkPad X1 table and the Dell XPS 12 are very powerful products. , and today is to introduce to you is also a very competitive 2in1 notebook - ASUS Transformer 3.

ASUS Transformer 3 (T305) Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameters Overview

Now that the positioning of 2in1 computers has been very mature, both in the work of design or hardware configuration, we all have their own brand strategy, and Asus's Transformer 3 is how to attract consumers? Let's take a look!

Appearance size

Now in the notebook market, the same positioning products generally do not differ too much in terms of configuration, and determine whether a product is loved by consumers. The value of color can be said to be an important part, and Asus The understanding is certainly profound, and the value of Transformer 3 definitely belongs to the leader in its class.

In the flat section, the back board of Transformer 3 is made of metal material. The polishing process makes the body very texture and the ruggedness is well protected. The frontal design is also very simple, and the border is not narrow or not very moderate, whether it is used as a notebook or as a tablet has a very good effect.

As a 2in1 product, the external keyboard and "coat" are integrated design, using a soft PU material, the touch is very satisfactory, gray and black color also appears to be full of business atmosphere. When the tablet is closed, the front magnet design fits the tablet perfectly. A silvery grey ASUS logo marks its identity in the middle of the front.

This positioning product can be said to be very good in terms of portability. The weight of the tablet is only 0.676Kg, and it will not be burdened by the weight during daily use. After connecting the keyboard, the weight is 1.24Kg, if you need to use it for a long time, plus the charger, the weight is 1.432Kg. In terms of thickness, we can also see that with the addition of the keyboard, it has just over half the standing height of the one-dollar coin. The result for such a 12.6-inch tablet is already very good.

Excellent experience

The Asus Transformer 3 features a 12.6-inch touch screen with a resolution of up to 2880*1920 pixels and a 121% RGB color gamut. In terms of brightness, since there is an optical sensor at the top of the screen, even at 100% brightness, the screen in the room will not appear bright, and as the light becomes stronger, the screen will become brighter. .

External keyboard, both inside and outside are used soft PU material feel good, the keyboard is similar to the MacBook 12-inch keyboard design, keystroke is slightly shorter is the characteristics of all 2in1 keyboard, but the feedback is slightly insufficient, as used to As for the black axis Xiaobian, this external keyboard still needs to adapt to a certain period of time to get used to it. It is worth mentioning that the keyboard of the Asus Transformer 3 is a backlit keyboard with a total of three levels of brightness adjustable, which greatly increases the usability.

The color of the touchpad is the same as the entire external keyboard. The left and right buttons are not separately separated. The advantage of this design is that the entire keyboard surface looks very neat. The area of ​​the touchpad is larger in the 2in1 notebook. The touch is smooth and smooth. The operation is very smooth and has a refreshing feeling. The combination with the system is very close to the Win 10 system.

This external keyboard is not just a keyboard, but also a protective cover and support. When you need to close it up, you can use the suction of the magnet like a leather notebook. When you need to use it as a notebook, you can construct a triangular structure to hold the notebook, although there is no way to adjust the angle of tilt. However, the original angle adjustment is very suitable for most people to use comfortably.

As a tablet product, the Transformer 3's buttons are not many, only the volume control keys and a power button, which can meet all the daily needs of the use. The number of interfaces has made some sacrifices for the thinness of the overall body. There is only a headphone jack and a Type-C interface. Although this design is very simple, the Type-C interface is also very powerful, but due to the current Type-C interface, Not very popular, so it will still be a little inconvenient to use, but the use of Type-C interface converter can directly avoid this problem.

This time the Transformer 3 took a lot of effort on the audio part. There are two Harman Kardon's speakers on the left and right sides of the fuselage. As a 2in1 notebook, this sound effect can be enjoyed very much. But it is only a 2in1 notebook after all, may not be able to meet some of the consumers with high sound quality requirements, for the average consumer, Transformer 3's speaker is perfect.

Perfect performance configuration

ASUS Transformer 3 has a good configuration, Xiao Bing in the hands of the Intel Core i5-7Y45 processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB flash memory. As a 2in1 notebook, it has completely met the needs of people in daily life. Xiao Bian I also selected the popular test programs currently available in the market to see how Transformer 3 performs.

CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in R11.5, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur, and the performance of CPUs. The test is more accurate. The test includes two items, each for the performance indicators of the processor and the graphics card.

AS SSD Benchmark is an SSD test software from Germany that can test continuous read and write, 4K alignment, 4KB random read and write and response time performance, and give a comprehensive score. At the same time, the software also comes with the Compression Benchmark project, which can give a curve describing the transformation of performance as the compressible data occupancy (compression ratio) in the data model increases.

3Dmark is a futuremark company's software designed to measure the performance of graphics cards. The 3Dmark developed to the present is not only a software to measure the performance of graphics cards, it has gradually become a software to measure the performance of the whole machine.

As a 2in1 product, battery life is also one of the highlights. In the case of 100% brightness of the screen and the light of the keyboard, it has been tested for heavy use for about 4 hours. The performance is not terribly impressive. Still can meet, in the case of going out of office, bring the charger will not cause any burden.

Edit Comment: After a few days of contact with Asus Transformer 3, ASUS's 2in1 notebook is very pleasing both in appearance and experience. Not only does it have a portable size, it also meets people's needs in daily use in terms of performance, and as a tablet-based product, it is particularly quiet without the sound of a fan. The Transformer 3 equipped with an Intel Core i5-7Y45 processor can also be said to meet people's needs for a 2in1 product. Of course, the fly in the ointment is that there is only one Type-C interface in the whole body when the Type-C is not widely used. Although the Type-C interface converter can solve this problem, if you can add 1-2 USB 3.0 interfaces , I think this product is even more perfect!
