ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C is a transformer, a tablet that can become a notebook if we attach to it a keyboard. The TF103C is a simple hybrid for simple needs. The good is that comes with a lot of preloaded apps that will help you work better with the TF103C, free storage and media services, and plenty of customization options.
Design
As we have already said, TF103C is a real Transformer since by adding a keyboard we can easily transitioning from a tablet to laptop-like device. As a standalone device features a soft and smooth matte finish on the back so we can have a little grip support. TF 103C comes with a 10.1 inch display, with 10-point capacitive, IPS and with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA). The Asus Transformer Pad TF103C display offers 1,024,000 pixels in its display. To get a nice sharp image from a tablet you want to see pixel density of at least 250ppi, where the Asus Transformer Pad TF103 offers only 149ppi.
On the top of the TF103C we can find the power button and a microphone pinhole, among with a microSD card slot, a Micro-USB port, the volume button on the left and a headphone jack on the right. On the left and on the right side on the back, the TF103C features dual speakers. The TF103 is made out of cost-effective plastic. Don’t forget that we can connect a keyboard to it to make it a laptop. Connecting and disconnecting the two is almost foolproof. TF103C is also equipped with a full USB port — a rare sight on a tablet. The Asus Transformer Pad TF103C weights 550 grams and its dimensions are 25.70 x 17.80 x 0.99 cm.
Hardware
The Asus Transformer Pad TF103C runs under the hood a quad-core Intel Atom Z3745 CPU, a 64-bit processor clocked at 1.86GHz (the standard clock speed is 1.33GHz, but it seems to be overclocked in this model). It’s running on the existing Intel Android kernel rather than the 64-bit framework provided by Android 5.0 Lollipop, but that doesn’t stop it from providing impressive benchmark results.
In Geekbench 3 scores 2329 points, a really good score that usually we don’t get it from a cheap tablet like the TF103C. For GPU a Intel HD Graphic (Gen7) helps with the graphics. The system features 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a microSD card slot, which accepts cards of capacities up to 64GB.
Features
The Transformer Pad TF103C comes with the new Zen user interface from Asus. The interface features a trendy flat design, with a lot of customization options, and many software goodies, like Asus suite of apps.

The Splendid app allows you to calibrate the colors of the screen easily, the Power Saver app is a robust battery-saving feature, and the AudioWizard tool is essential for optimizing audio quality when listening to music or watching a movie.
Since the Zen UI is based on Android 5.0, if you’re familiar with the Android OS, you will easily find your way around the new UI. For images, TF103C supports BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPG and PNG.
