The ASUS Transformer Book T100 is that it is priced at $349 for the 32GB version and $399 for the larger 64GB version. Both come with unlimited ASUS WebStorage service for a year and will be available on October 18th, 2013.
The first Eee PC was a milestone in the personal computer business when it was introduced in 2007 and it cost $399. The netbook craze has certainly come and gone, but the performance of Bay Trail now for the same price you a touch device with much more functionality and without many of the sacrifices that were needed to bring a netbook to market so long ago. You want an affordable device, but you need it to be fully functional! ASUS thinks that the Transformer Book T100 is that device and we can’t wait to get one to find out if that is the case.
