Transformer Book Chi Press Release & Specifications

(24th March, 2015) — ASUS today announced the impeccably slim and light Transformer Book T300 Chi – a beautifully-engineered, razor-thin 2-in-1 Windows detachable, intended to provide unrivaled flexibility for work and play.

The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi features a premium design that combines classic ASUS aesthetics, innovative engineering, and expert craftsmanship to create an extremely thin, touch-enabled powerful laptop that transforms seamlessly into a Windows 8.1 tablet. The ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi is fast but silent, featuring a fanless design powered by Intel Core M processor, for amazing performance that gives users the freedom to work and play with effortless mobility – anywhere, anytime.

Featuring an amazingly slim tablet, and with a gorgeous precision-crafted all-aluminum design, the ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi offers unprecedented sophistication and elegance in a 2-in-1. The flagship 12.5-inch T300 Chi – recipient of a 2015 CES Innovation Award – is powered by the all-new Intel Core M processor for outstanding performance and power efficiency. It has a bright, crisp and clear IPS display resolution for detailed and vivid visuals.

The flexibility and power of ASUS Transformer Book Chi means that users can now work and play more efficiently, with no need to carry multiple bulky devices — Chi can do anything you need, whenever you need it.

Inner power, outer beauty

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi is distinguished by its razor-thin profiles and quiet performance, made possible by the fanless design. The T300 Chi measures just 1.65cm when docked, which is even thinner than an Apple Macbook Air. It has a luxurious and sophisticated feel, with precision craftsmanship and engineering expertise combined to realize the seamless all-aluminum unibody design. The edges of Chi are enhanced with diamond-cut chamfering, adding brilliant highlights to the elegant metallic body.

Chi’s instant, seamless transformation between handy tablet and powerful laptop is made possible by the uniquely-designed magnetic hinge mechanism, which uses powerful neodymium — the world’s most powerful magnetic material — precisely arranged to ensure secure, reliable and fuss-free docking, every time. The comfortable, highly-ergonomic keyboard is connected via Bluetooth, with a range of up to 20m.

Beautiful high-resolution displays

ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi uses in-plane switching (IPS) displays enhanced with ASUS TruVivid technology, giving wide viewing angles with amazing clarity and brightness. With a class-leading pixel density of 235ppi in the T300 Chi — even higher than MacBook Air’s 127ppi — users will enjoy incredibly crisp and detailed visuals.

The T300 Chi’s displays also have an sRGB color gamut — 20% wider than the gamut of standard displays — that gives richer, more vivid and more accurate color reproduction. Colors are enhanced even more with ASUS Splendid technology, which optimizes display settings for a variety of different usage modes.

Rich, clear and powerful stereo sound

ASUS SonicMaster audio technology gives the Transformer Book T300 Chi an edge over the competition when it comes to sound quality. The superior engineering and cleverly-designed software delivers immersive sound that is rich, powerful and distortion-free, with clear vocals and a full-range frequency response.

Incredible performance for quiet and effortless mobility

Powered by Intel Core M processor in the Transformer Book T300 Chi, this delivers smooth performance for all daily activities, whether for work or entertainment. The incredibly power-efficient Intel processors allow users to enjoy up to all-day battery life with no performance compromises. This superb power-efficiency, combined with an advanced thermal management design from the ASUS engineering team, means that T300 Chi needs no fans to keep cool. The clever fanless design enables it to run silently, while still delivering better performance than other currently-available Intel Core M-powered devices.

Ultra-fast, responsive all-solid-state storage is used — giving performance that’s up to nine times faster than traditional hard disks — so users will spend less time waiting and more time being productive or having fun. The T300 Chi features convenient, fast USB 3.0 connectivity — via a Type B USB port — for data transfers that are up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.
