Netbooks sales are dwindling, and it's easy to see why. While consumers remain keenly interested in ultraportable computers, they clearly prefer tablets to tiny Windows PCs. Let's take a closer look at the Transformer Pad 300 to see how it stacks up. At 9.9 mm thick, the Asus Transformer Pad 300 is a little fatter than the 8.3-mm Prime. The docks are actually comparable in thickness. The Transformer's DRAM memory still weighs in at 1GB, but it's DDR3 instead of DDR2.
The Asus' Transformer Pad 300 tablet screen is pretty good. Our colorimeter tells us the backlight offers 324 cd/m² of brightness at its maximum setting. The IPS panel serves up 1280x800 pixels.
With the dock attached, the Transformer very much resembles an ultraportable notebook. The weight balance is a little different, though. On a notebook, the screen is usually much lighter than the base because it's just an LCD. The Transformer's screen is the entire tablet—battery and all—and it weighs 16% more than the dock. Put the two together, and the combo is decidedly back-heavy when open.
