Reviews for laptop ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP500LN

Virtues

  • + 1920 * 1080 for 30 thousand;
  • + nice appearance (metal case). It looks more expensive than it is;
  • + balance of performance and energy efficiency, large battery;

disadvantages

  • It’s hard to install Windows 7. Firstly, there are no drivers (if you think you’re collecting the necessary firewood according to the equipment ID, you’ll have to disappoint you) The distribution kit should sew the necessary firewood. Well, or Windows 8 ...
  • to put the SSD will have to remove the entire cover. By the way, not so easy to remove;
  • battery inside. Lovers carry a spare battery in sadness.

Comment
The reviews scare energy efficient processor. But in practice it copes quite well (I have a model with i5). Surfing the Internet and other daily routines are comfortable, and, for example, the Civ 5 took off on a mix of medium and low settings on a large map, and after installing the SSD and on a mix of medium to high ones. In principle, from the daily non-professional tasks he can not cope only with modern shooters. But the extra hours of work are very helpful.

It is assembled normally, without obvious jambs. Maintainability is not very - everything inside is very tightly assembled and planted on glue in places. However, as well as in all thin.

The screen is of average quality, i.e. The picture is good, but the viewing angles are not very vertical. For this money it is better (and even in Full HD) not to be found, so no problem.

I can’t say anything about using as a tablet. I use it as an ordinary laptop.

In general, over 30 thousand - one of the best.

A good review appeared on it: http://www.notik.ru/information/topic/3696 Review and tests of the ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP500LN ultrabook.
Strictly speaking, I fully agree with the text of this review on the basis of weekly communication. I will add just a few more features to keep in mind. First, this is the location on the left (on the keyboard) of the volume and off buttons (sleep mode). I understand that they are necessary for working in tablet mode, but these buttons are placed so that, taking the laptop in hand, repeatedly pressed the power button with a palm, and secondly, trying to adjust the volume by touch, I pressed the same long-suffering power button very close. The matrix is ​​most likely TN - the vertical viewing angles are too small, it is very bright, but overall not bad. Another drawback - a double click on the touchpad works indistinctly. Sometimes it does not work and you have to press hard until it clicks. And sometimes it works by a light touch. I think that in many ways a matter of habit. The touchpad itself is great, but the finger on it is a little slow. The laptop is somewhat heavy for a tablet ... The lid is already spattered - on my past laptop it was not so dirty, now I have to get used to wipe it. Here are all the noticed flaws. If you do not need to type a lot of text, then I use it in tablet mode - conveniently. The lid, in my opinion, is somewhat tight and opens and closes. One hand does not open, but is securely fixed. Games are not interested, so I can not say anything about them. Fans are heard only in complete silence or if you put your ear to the case. However, at full load did not check. The maximum is watching a video. The keyboard is quite comfortable for me. No backlight, but then you should keep in mind the price. The stroke is short, but the fingers feel well enough. To whom it is important, I inform - Insert presses through Fn. In general, the laptop rather liked.

Virtues

  • Full HD screen, discrete graphics card, quite powerful Intel Core i5 processor, transformer, 24 months warranty. Competitor for 15 displays only Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 2 15.The rest (Sony, HP, ...), or the screen is not Full HD, or integrated graphics, or a single-core processor, and all this, moreover, for a lot of money. The rating would put all 5 stars, if it were not for one thing: the unreliable turning mechanisms of the screen.

disadvantages

  • According to the characteristics for the money I do not see flaws. For iron - the poor quality of the screen turning mechanisms.

Comment
Now I use the third, already twice changed laptop. I would refuse it and take back the money, but my daughter really likes it.
And I had this:
- at the first on the second day of use in the transformer mode with a rotation of 360 degrees. The screen sensor stopped working, although in the normal position everything is working fine. I think the reason (like a break) somewhere in the contacts of the turning mechanism.
- the second on the fourth day of use in the transformer mode with a rotation of 360 degrees. began to move into the turbo mode fan. It didn’t help either, sleep or reboot, just shutdown for 30 seconds and then restart. Again, in the normal position, everything is working fine. Again I think the reason (such as a short circuit) is somewhere in the contacts of the turning mechanism.
- the third while 5 days is working normally. If again, within 2 weeks, when it is still possible to refuse it, some kind of breakdown will happen, then I definitely will not change it, I will take the money.

Virtues

  • Powerful processor and video card
  • Touch screen
  • 1920 * 1080 high resolution
  • Design and size
  • Transformer

disadvantages

  • Very small viewing angles
  • Displays black.
  • Black keys without backlight
  • Marked case

Comment
I did not think that now there are so bad matrices with viewing angles like on
first color phones, you can only look at the screen perpendicularly, while you can see all shades of gray.
The rest of the laptop is very nice, quite fast, compact for 15 inches. This is not the first laptop with a touch screen, I feel discomfort if you can not control the touch to the monitor, without a sensor, like without a mouse. The sensor works fine, the glass is located close to the screen so there are no errors with a touch point.
As a tablet, it is convenient to use, but only at home, the weight affects.
There are fingerprints on the glossy lid, they are almost invisible on the screen. Black keyboard keys look much worse than silver.
Keystroke is too big and quite hard, but with a clear fixation.
The result is a good laptop-tablet, except for the viewing angles, for reasonable money. It is suitable for programming, surfing and similar tasks.
Movies are not very comfortable to watch due to black distortions.
In this price category, there are practically no other options with i5, a discrete video card and a resolution of 1920 * 1080. Especially with a touch screen and a transformer.

Virtues

  • Convenient form factor, keyboard, volume control. Like the size, weight and body.

disadvantages

  • Winchester clicks. Display is not IPS. After cheap Chinese devices with excellent screens, this is puzzling. Something broke in the home button, it is pressed, but dangles on the snot.
  • The main drawback is software. Unusual wines 8.1, on which the network card constantly fell off

Comment
The laptop was taken to work in office applications on site with an external monitor and on the road. It is also convenient to lie with him in bed, bending the screen towards you. In this case, you can also type in chat rooms on the sensor without knocking with the keys, so as not to disturb anyone.
***
Seven set from a flash drive. Nuances:
1. Winchester is marked up by some newfangled file system, on which the seven did not want to be put, all the data on it had to be formatted. Therefore, backing up the partitions and OSes with the acronym, we save the data.
2. Bios is called by pressing Esc. Starting the flash drive when booting is also not trivial, look YouTube watch? V = X3GFZm9at6g
3. We set firewood from previously downloaded driver pack solution. We don’t download everything that wasn’t installed from the official asus website, choosing 8.1 as the OS.
The prog program for the touchpad also does not hurt to deliver, it copes well with random clicks during printing.

Virtues

  • Transformer convenient for surfing, movies, looks good.

disadvantages

  • Very glare screen, very branded case cover, delivered under warranty.

Comment
From the very beginning, a blue screen of death began to appear with various errors. First, rarely, then constantly. A month passed under warranty. Month no verdict. Very sorry. Cute apparatik. About win8.1 I can’t say anything good. Have to get used to. The rest did not have time to understand. I have a version with i3 4g 1tb. It will be known that I will add.
