There may be a dual hardware platform portability is certainly the product of poor psychological suggestion, just to see Asus TX201LA think subjectively when it is relatively thick, partly because the 12-inch fuselage contrast, the other is at this stage can not compromise the hardware technology, but can also be seen from the appearance of the efforts made by ASUS – classic clamshell design over both curved corners make the machine more comfortable letting rounded grip it becomes the great affinity .
On the other hand, as a detachable screen and keyboard products, ASUS TX201LA also incorporates features of the series before Transformer tablet, the screen and the keyboard connector design which is exactly the same place – the shaft at the same time play a role in the foot pad, when the screen When you open to a large enough angle, the shaft will raise the body, thus tilting angle of the keyboard is more ergonomic, it is more comfortable to use. Overall, the appearance of links, Asus TX201LA maintained a consistently high standard.
ASUS TX201LA equipped with a 12.5-inch IPS display, and the resolution also reached the 1920 × 1080, the screen surface to high-intensity, high transparency Corning glass-covered, with 800: 1 high contrast ratio and 72% color gamut, TX201LA The display is very good, in addition, the screen also supports 10-point touch, and electric shock diameter of 6mm, either Android or Windows 8 in the system are able to bring good experience.
Compared with the TX300, TX201LA the C shell into a plastic material, in order to enhance texture, Asus made additional metals painting process, so if you do not carefully observe the traces of mold, will think it is the metal on the senses. ASUS Transformer TX201LA keyboard compared to the previous product did not make much change in the overall key process has been lengthened, while the key internal support has become more solid, but the actual experience of the resulting more comfortable . Touchpad, ASUS still has an absolute advantage, positioning accuracy, fluency and slide gestures responsive.
Other details of the U-shaped frame on top of the keyboard symmetrical two holes are the microphone and power indicator, power button, or go into the entire keyboard is not independent. Overall, the appearance and handling TX201LA C-face is still very “ASUS.”
We have already mentioned TX201LA using detachable design, and the same method of separation of the screen and the keyboard with the previous Transformer tablet products: junction of the slide lock is pressed, while the roots up the screen. Slide lock for semi-automatic design, built-in spring-action latch on automatic back, so if you want to connect the screen and the keyboard just do the simple insertion of the action can be.
Because Asus TX201LA screen terminal also has a separate hardware systems, so the separation of the keyboard into a large 12.5-inch screen has a X86 Tablet PC, but this time we can also be seen as no screen keyboard end hosts. ASUS TX201LA interface is mainly distributed in tablet form under the bottom, from left to right are TF card reader, with OTG functionality and charging Micro USB interface, extended interface and headphone jack.
Keyboard end interior itself is a complete PC platform, and when TX201LA work in tablet mode, the keyboard end just a simple docking station, you can make the keyboard can also be extended disk space and more interfaces, while the keyboard side battery also allows TX201LA tablet mode has a longer battery life. Further, in order to ensure a more stable and a screen end connected to the keyboard side, we can see both ends of the connection is also designed with two projections.
Under notebook mode, ASUS TX201LA still retain maximum stage common interface, at the same time with two USB3.0 interface, we can see and Micro HDMI Mini DP also appeared one by one. At the same time, ASUS also comes with a Mini DP to VGA and USB to RJ45 adapter cable, complete interface is sufficient to meet the daily needs.
Because they have two completely independent of the hardware platform, so ASUS TX201LA equipped with two power adapters, corresponding to notebook mode and tablet mode, this design is also taken into account the user’s habits, if you only end when they go out to carry TX201LA screen, only need to be smaller adapter.
Dual hardware platform, dual battery design for ASUS TX201LA design brings difficulty, especially under the circumstances should continue to pursue frivolous, but we can still see its excellent portability.
