The Asus Transformer Book T300 is a 13.3-inch laptop with a detachable Full HD display  anounced at IFA 2013. At the same time it can be used as a standalone Windows 8 tablet. The Transformer Book т300 powered by the latest 4th generation Intel Core processor. The Li-Ion 6710mAh battery provides up to eight hours battery life.

The result is a 10-point multi-touch display with high-precision input that’s perfect for the kind of fine fingertip control required by everything from spreadsheets to creative applications.

Just 11.5mm thin, ASUS Transformer Book T300’s tablet display is extremely portable, but it’s also highly practical for use on the move, with built-in USB 3.0, a micro-HDMI ports, plus an LED battery charge indicator. The keyboard dock is equally slim, at just 11mm, and has a compact magnetic dock connector that releases and snaps to the tablet display in an instant.

Transformer Book features a front 720p HD camera and a rear 1080p Full HD camera, plus stereo speakers powered by ASUS SonicMaster audio technology for loud, clear sound.

Asus has yet to announce the pricing and actual shipment date.
