The keys are fairly cramped, requiring not just a bedding-in period but a change in how your hold your hands while typing whenever you use the Asus Transformer Pad TF103. However, it never stops feeling like a compromise, and this is something that is common among 10-inch hybrids. Asus has also clearly tried to make the keyboard action as pronounced as possible, with a very distinct travel involved in each key press. We tried using the Transformer Pad TF103 as our main work computer for a couple of days, and part of this review was even written using the device.

The good news is that it’s much better than using a touchscreen virtual keyboard. How about the keyboard? This is crucial to the Asus Transformer Pad TF103 offering a laptop experience that makes up for the deficiencies we find hard to swallow when using the device as a tablet.

As is, it’s just that bit too grainy for comfort if you’re going to be using it as a tablet for anything close to half the time.

If this tablet had a 1080p screen rather than its 1280 x 800-pixel one, we’d be over the moon even with the contrast and colour limitations. It’s this IPS technology that makes the TF103 work fairly well as a tablet, despite the other image issues. Where a cheap laptop screen will show severe contrast shift at an angle, the Asus Transformer Pad TF103 doesn’t, thanks to its use of IPS tech. Laptops at the price use, almost exclusively, TN-based screens that suffer from just as dodgy, if not worse, colour and contrast, as well as other issues. This is a fairly ropey screen for a tablet. We have to apply the same caveat used when we talked about the Asus Transformer Pad TF103’s design, though. The Asus Transformer Pad TF103’s top layer is extremely reflective, which will become a pain if you try to use the thing as a laptop when out and about. The actual colour tone’s fairly good, though – even when Asus’s tablet displays aren’t perfect they generally offer fairly natural-looking tones.įrom a more practical perspective, the screen finish may also present an issue. It leads to images looking a little washed out, as well as pixellated. This is a low-cost display, and it shows – not just in resolution, either.Ĭolours are fairly good but a little muted and contrast is nowhere near as good as the top tablets. To get a nice sharp image from a tablet you want to see pixel density of at least 250ppi, where the Asus Transformer Pad TF103 offers 149ppi. To put this into a slightly wider context, the Asus Transformer Pad TF103 display offers 1,024,000 pixels in its display, while the smaller Nexus 9 has 3,145,728 – more than three times as many.

It just doesn’t have the pixel count to offer a remotely sharp image by current tablet standards. If you’ve used a recent iPad or Nexus 7 you’ll find the TF103’s display very blocky and soft. Like the design, this is very dated – a spec that belongs among tablets from 2011-2012 rather than 2014. The Asus Transformer Pad TF103 has a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel IPS screen.
