All most all laptop can do the above task.
You just have to choose a strong laptop with good battery. For me go for dell!

But my main attraction to the Asus Transformer is that I can detach it and carry it like a Tablet. Can Dell product do the same cos I would like to get Dell if same is achievable?

I guess you can get a mini dell like that shaa!

The Asus T100 and T300 are not exactly the same devices, yes they are both hybrid computers but the T100 has a screen size of 10.1" while the T300 has a 13.3 " screen. From the several reviews I have seen online they are "ok" budget computers, they will serve fairly well if all you want to do is browse the web, email and watch videos, basically simple stuff that won't require considerable processing power. It runs on an Intel Atom processor which is just fine for simple stuff and not heavy lifting like Photoshop, CAD, 3D modelling and the likes. The T100 seems to have been well received especially because of its pricing and its battery life. It has a 64GB memory and 2GB RAM.
Not a bad buy for the casual computer user and you would be hard pressed to find a Windows 8 hybrid that is cheaper than its ~ N58000 ($350) price tag.

There are several other hybrids and 2-in-1s out there though with stronger processors, more storage space like the Dell 11 3000, the Lenovo Thinkpad 10. Thing is they cost more and you may have to wait for sometime to have it shipped to you as they are available overseas.

The Dell 11 3000 is a 2-in-1 computer. You can fold the screen way back and use like a tablet. Same thing with the Lenovo Yoga 11s but they might not be as light as a tablet as they weigh slightly more.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out.

THanks Bawss1. I would compare both products and make a final pick. I hope it cost less than 100k

Thank you so much for the indepth review. I am more able to make an informed choice. I think I would go for Dell product cos I'm planning to start lessons on Corel draw and the rest. I'd probably ask to see if they can get it over there and send back to me.

MY ADVICE ON ASUS LAPTOP- read users review b4 purchasing any, have bought one worth 300k sometime ago and it started giving issues two months after purchase, going thru the review I discovered the laptop had several complains from current and past users, the issues were factory errors, it was difficult fixing here because u rarely get the parts. My advice go for something common( hp or dell)
