The Asus T300 Chis is one of the new flagship tablet for Asus, and the reason lies in the specs which measure a 12.5-inch display with 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, the new Intel Core M processor, 8GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage.

(UPDATE: Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi released on March 11, 2015.)

There are two models of the Asus Transformer Book T300 Chi. There’s a Full HD 1920 x 1080 version and a WQHD 2560 x 1440 version. And here are the differences.

The Full HD 1920 x 1080 model of Asus T300 Chi features a 800 MHz Intel Core M 5Y10 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and 64GB storage.

The WQHD 2560 x 1440 models of Asus T300 Chi meanwhile features a faster 1.2 GHz Intel Core M 5Y71 processor, has 8GB DDR3 RAM, and 128GB storage.

What they have in similar are Windows 8.1 / Windows 8.1 Pro options, a 2MP front camera, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, USB 3.0, and a tablet thickness of 7.6mm. The Bluetooth keyboard has a touchpad too.

It won’t be cheap though, and the price and availability will be announced by Asus later on. For reference, the somewhat similar Surface Pro 3 begins at $799.

There’s been a lot of Chi going around today, as Asus also launched the Asus Transformer Book T90 Chi as well as the Asus Transformer Book T100 Chi today.
