The Asus Transformer Book TX300 is a great example of a hybrid laptop/tablet. Once the screen is attached, it turns into a true laptop with a high-performance processor and an excellent display. And as a tablet it's perfectly honourable. The biggest downs...

The arrival of Windows 8 brought with it a whole slew of notebooks, including this 13.3-inch ASUS Transformer Book. It's a tablet that you can click into a keyboard, but it's much bigger than the 10-inch Transformers we've seen that run on Android and t...
The ASUS Transformer Book was a pleasant surprise. It has a relatively low weight for a 13.3-inch tablet (950 grams), and while it's no Nexus 7, it's still a very fine Windows 8 device to use on the road or on the couch. The combination with keyboard...
