Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA

While the Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA isn’t a processing powerhouse, it is currently dirt cheap and is an excellent choice for a laptop/tablet hybrid on the go. With the option to flip the screen 360 degrees to transform it into tablet mode, the Flip is a perfectly capable and well-priced device for people who want to bridge the gap between tablet and laptop.

Thanks to its compact size, the tightly packed keyboard isn’t great for when you are working for hours at a time, but the long battery life of just over nine hours is definitely its main selling point. If you want something cheap to use on the go, you can do no wrong. For more details, see our full Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA review.
