Background and Identification

The Asus Transformer Book TX300 is an Android tablet computer produced by Asus, a Taiwanese multinational computer, phone hardware, and electronics company. The Asus Transformer design includes an optional docking keyboard that “transforms” the tablet into more of a laptop computer.

The Asus Transformer Book TX300 features a 13.3-inch 10-finger multi-touch screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The screen is not made of Gorilla Glass, so it is more susceptible to breakage. The tablet was sold with 4096 MB of RAM, 128 GB of SSD storage, and a 500 GB hard drive. It includes a 1.3-megapixel web camera. The Asus Transformer Book TX300 also includes a 38-Watt-hour non-removable battery, meaning its battery is attached to the inside of the tablet with a permanent adhesive, making repair and replacement more difficult than for non-removable batteries, but not necessarily impossible.

The Asus Transformer Book TX300 includes the name “Asus” in capital letters in the upper left-hand corner of the tablet’s front bezel. The optional docking keyboard includes full QWERTY keys, a trackpad, and an additional 23-Watt-hour battery that increases the tablet’s overall battery life. There have been reports of the tablet’s screen cracking due to the stress the hinges from the docking keyboard puts on the screen when opening and closing the keyboard.
