Asus Transformer Book T200 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 2 vs Lenovo Miix 2 11:Which one is better for use?

Asus Transformer Book T200                                                                                                                   Asus Transformer Book T200 is a successor to Transformer T100, a Windows tablet that can also be used as a netbook by hooking up with a Keyboard dock. The tablet’s rear is finished with a handsome dark blue swirl which curves around and tapers into the thick black bezels circling the screen; the keyboard dock combines a black matte-plastic base with a silver keyboard surround. Despite this all-plastic construction, the T200 feels nice and solid, and there’s little flex in either the tablet or the dock. It features 11.6 inches (16:9) IPS HD (1366 x768) display with a pixel density of 136 PPI. Individual rings around Saturn appeared crisp in an HD trailer for "Interstellar," while colors such as orange flames and Jessica Chastain's auburn hair were vibrant. The slate's viewing angles were generous, with colors staying true as I turned the tablet from side to side. Asus Transformer Book T200 is powered by Intel Z3775 Bay Trail-T Quad Core Z3775 1.46 GHz Processor backed with 2 GB RAM. The tablet comes in two storage variants-32 GB and 64 GB with support for memory expansion using the 500 GB HD drive support or the micro-SD slot tucked in the extended Keyboard. The keyboard slightly disappointed us. Although the keys do not clatter and the base is firm, the pressure point is undefined and shallow. Besides that, the keyboard is not fitted properly around the WASD keys and wobbles a bit when typing. There is 5 MP (2560x1440 pixels) rear and 2 MP (1280x720) front camera. Asus claims that the battery life of T200 is 8.5 hours, without a user-installed HDD that’s better than every laptop. The tablet has a footprint of 305 x 194 x 11.95 mm while the keyboard dock spreads at 305 x 200 x 26 mm. The Asus Transformer Book T200 is a very usable combination of tablet and laptop-replacement with an appealing design and a very reasonable price.            Price:$624                                                                                                                                                   VS                                                                                                                                                             Microsoft Surface Pro 2                                                                                                                           The Surface Pro 2's display may not have received an upgrade, but then it didn't need one. It's still a fine IPS panel that helps bring Windows 8.1's colorful and vibrant nature to life. The tablet itself is easier to use thanks to improved keyboard covers - even the Touch Cover 2 will prove more than adequate for most this time around.The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 is a faster, longer-battery-life version of the original model, upgraded with a current-gen Haswell processor. The keyboard cover is also improved with backlit keys, and is among the best tablet accessories ever devised.The Surface Pro 2 is a very tough product to judge, which is what makes it interesting. The good news is Microsoft has sorted out the most serious issue with the first version: the battery life. At around eight hours, the Surface Pro 2 mixes it with the Ultrabooks like the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus and Sony VAIO Pro 13, even if it still falls a little short of 'tablet class' battery life.
But, The Surface Pro 2 remains stubbornly thick and heavy compared with some sleeker competitors. The base 64GB version may leave you starved for storage, and the keyboard cover, practically required, should be included instead of sold separately.
The bottom line: Microsoft's subtly updated Windows 8.1 tablet feels more like Surface Pro 1.5 -- improved battery life and better accessories make it a worthwhile (albeit pricey) laptop replacement, but it's still not an iPad-level category killer.                                                                                                                            Specifications

It comes with its own custom dock that gives it a full keyboard plus some extra ports.The 10.1-inch feels like Microsoft’s Surface 2 tablet, with an angular complexion and sharp corners, but it’s using plastic in place of aluminum in a 1.3 pound package. It’s not heavy, but it’s not surprisingly light either, it feels about right for this type of size.The Lenovo Miix 2 11 is an Windows 8.1 tablet with 11.6" screen with 1920x1200 resolution powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its other features included a 5-megapixel shooter on the back, 2-megapixel unit on the front, Wi-Fi and HDMI,.It's also available in 3G or Wi-Fi only and comes with JBL speakers,This keyboard seems to be a better solution than the folio-style keyboard case that was available for the original Miix and is closer to what you could get with the ThinkPad Tablet 2. It's sturdier, so you should be able to more easily use it on your lap and there's a built-in touch pad.Lenovo claims Miix 2 is capable of providing up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge.                                                                                                                                                         Specifications

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon vs HP EliteBook Folio 9470m vs Apple MacBook Air:Who is the best?

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon                                                                                                                        I t's the excellent power management, Incredibly light for a 14-inch laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is ruggedly built, and has a better keyboard than any ultrabook-style laptop, even Apple's MacBook Air. Despite packing a middle-of-the-road Intel Core i5 processor, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon stormed our benchmark tests. The score of 9601 in our Cinebench test puts it on par with many Intel Core i7 laptops we've seen, which shows that Lenovo has chosen the very best chip on offer. In real terms this means that any modern program is fair game for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and you could multitask even the most demanding software - be it bespoke business packages or classic applications such as Photoshop or Microsoft Office.Graphics capability isn't so hot, since the responsibility for 3D is left to the onboard

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 vs HP Envy x2 13t vs Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2:Winner is..........................

Microsoft Surface Pro 3                                                                                                                            Microsoft might not be the first company to break into 2-in-1 laptop, but it's one of the few to get it right. The first Surface was a suave new device that worked both as a laptop and tablet. Thanks to an ergonomic kickstand and excellent magnetic keyboard, it easy to use whether you're at a desk or even laying down. The Surface Pro 3 is thinner and lighter than the previous two versions, despite having a larger 12-inch display and higher screen resolution. A new kickstand makes it easier to set up and use, and the keyboard cover remains a best-in-class example. The Surface Pro 3 is now optimized for a digital pen, which is included.       Performance                                                                                                                                            Despite its remarkably slim and light frame
