Netbook & the tablet?

Question

Keyboard

There was an urgent need to replace your laptop with something smaller. Preferably even something like an asus transformer, that is, a tablet with the ability to connect a keyboard (like a docking station, that is, to be together and not through wires), or a netbook, with a touch screen and the ability to turn the screen 180, close it back to get a tablet (I saw this somewhere, but I don’t remember where).
Please tell me all such options for such transformers, preferably even (if any) with experience in use and pros / cons in use.
//upd1: Which similar devices have an additional battery installed in the docking station, as in the same transformer? Stupidly I can’t take the transformer just because of the OS, because under the droid there is no software that I need, and there is no normal opportunity to code in c / c ++ / etc ... (study, I am looking for a tablet for it). And if I'm wrong with the software regarding the droid - please fill me with links on the topic. The fact that offices, etc. there is a droid, I have no doubt, but an IDE for various languages ​​\u200b\u200bwith compilers and the ability to run directly on a droid?

Answer 1

The owner of Asus Transformer and Lenovo Thinkpad X220 Tablet (yes, it turns 180 degrees).
It all depends on what you are going to do with it. To be honest, Asus is just wonderful - smart, convenient and very durable - together with the docking station, it holds a charge of about 20 hours for me (with active work). But there is a problem with selecting the right software for Android (web programming). You can, of course, put another system, but I'm satisfied with what I have so far.
X220 is already a working machine. i5 processor, enough memory to fully load almost any IDE and work quietly.
The advantages are obvious - very mobile stations for work. The camera in the tablet turned out to be very handy for me. Of the minuses, perhaps the price :) But they are worth the money.

Answer 2

Alternatively, a Win7 tablet with a docking station. For example, Acer Iconia Tab w500 .
I am the owner of such a device, only without a docking station. Battery life is good, comfortable.

Answer 4

Asus T91MT (also its brothers T91, T101MT, differ in diagonal and size / type of hard drive) - turns 180 degrees. I specifically have a T91MT, I'm very happy with it, but I always want something new, so I'm looking at the TF101 (Transformer) now. Although my model has a multi-touch screen, it is inconvenient to perform gestures on a resistive screen, so I always use 1 finger. When I first bought it, I had to do a lot of tinkering with the system (Kubuntu 9.10 at that time) to make the video and touchscreen work, in 11.04 everything got out of the box for me. I work in vim + browser, it has enough eyes, 720p video plays fine, 1080p twitches, and there is no point in watching 1080p at 1024x600 resolution.

Answer 5

Acer Iconia Tab W500\W501 (with docking station) or Eee Slate EP121. Both are touch-sensitive, the first with a docking station, the second with a BT keyboard, both on Windows 7. The second is much more expensive and more powerful than the first.
