TheAsus Transformer Pad TF300T is a2-in-1 detachable tablet from theAsus Transformer Pad series. It runsAndroid, has aquad-core processor, and a successor toAsus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The Transformer design includes an optional docking keyboard. The Asus Transformer Pad TF300T was released on the market in the U.S.[1] and Europe in May 2012.[2]
The Asus Transformer Pad TF300T is atablet computer with aLED 10.1"IPS 10-fingermulti-touchscreen with a resolution of 1280x800. This display is not Super IPS+ contrary to theASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The unit does not employ Gorilla Glass, and is therefore more susceptible to breakage.
The processor is anNvidiaTegra 3 T30L at 1.2 GHz upon initial release with Android 4.0.X ICS, but overclocked to 1.3 GHz upon updating toAndroid 4.1 Jelly Bean (latest firmware is Android 4.2.1). The Transformer Pad TF300T has 1 GB ofDDR3 SDRAM, and an 802.11b/g/nWi-Fi module.
At the front of the tablet there is a 1.2-megapixel camera for video conferencing. On the back is an 8-megapixel (5-element lens) BSI CMOS sensor with autofocus camera which can be used for capturing HD videos with 1080p resolution.
The TF300 was the first 'non-Nexus' device to receiveAndroid 4.2Jelly Bean; but that was also the last update ever received as Asus abandoned it shortly thereafter.
The optional docking keyboard features full QWERTY keys, touchpad as well as an additional battery that increases overall battery life from 8.5 hours to up to 15 hours.[3][4]
There are multiple reports of the screen cracking due to the amount of stress the hinges puts on the screen when opening and closing the unit.[citation needed]
Weight: 640g without the keyboard. The weight of the docking keyboard is 546g.
A 3G model supportingHSPA+,HSDPA and quad-bandGSM has been released as the TF300TG.[5]
An LTE model supporting the above cellular standards as well asLTE has been released as the TF300TL.[6]
CyanogenMod 11 or later, an unofficial updated version ofAndroid can be installed onto the TF300T tablet.[7] In addition, the TF300 continues to be supported by an active community of aftermarket operating system developers atXDA Developers several years after its initial release.[8]
The Verge noted the good performance, build quality and battery life. They also noted that Android 4.0 has some issues, the keyboard is cramped and that the display isn't particularly special.[9]Anandtech noted that it is a good successor to the earlier version.[10]
