The ultrabook trend was started by the Intel and its associated partners aiming at making notebooks ultralight, ultrathin and utlrafast. Then came the Surface series slates from Microsoft a fully throttled Tablet PC style machine with full x86 CPUs and performance that would put a notebook PC to shame let alone other tablets.
Asus was another brand to join the race for these 2 in 1 slates or tablet PCs where the hardware of the machine was strapped behind the large touchscreens in a slim body made of metal mostly with magnetic docking keyboards and wireless mouse assembly. The Asus Linghuan 3 Pro T303A is a slate standing tall to compete the Microsoft Surface tablets. Asus Linghuan 3 Pro T303A offers some very good advantages of its own but also has some bottlenecks, Lets see in detail.
Design
The design of the slates or tablets is cutting edge as you would expect from Asus, Asus has shown its might and creativity in designs with many successful devices and Asus Linghuan 3 Pro T303A is no exception. It has an all metal design like the rival Surface tablets. The magnesium finish looks great and feels sturdy. The device is slim and mostly can be considered as a tablet with a mega screen of 12.6″. The tablet houses an Intel CPU hence for heat dissipation has a fan inside and vents on the top if you hold it in landscape. Other than that you have the power button on the top and other IO ports on the sides. Behind is a kickstand which can be adjusted in 155 degree angle as per your convenience. Overall its a a gorgeously sleek tablet carefully crafted from aluminum-magnesium alloy. This premium material makes ASUS Transformer 3 Pro incredibly thin and light, it weighs under 800g and is just 8.35mm thin without sacrificing strength or rigidity.
