[Windows 8 General] nikoo6:
I am answering you from my T100, I got it on march and it's awesome. I study electrical engeneering and the software needs are perfectly covered by the tablet in terms of simulations with Origin, Maple or any kind until now. The office suite is a full version and works great, some guy who went with me had a Mac and he had a bunch of problems in terms of compatibility and even an inferior performance(it was a 2012, I think).

Related to your question, the HDD drain is horrible, it's getting better with every update but it a bad performance. You can't go to sleep and leave it on because on the morning it will have died. In my opinion it's the only thing the iPad has better than the asus, the resting battery drain is bad, if I'm not going to use it in 1 hour I shut it down, it boots in 10 seconds so you don't really lose time and the performance difference worth it.

I hope I helped you, good luck.
[Windows 8 General] mdwh:
The hard drive does shut down when it's idle, which helps minimise any power drain. If you knew you weren't using the hard drive, but wanted to be sure it didn't cause any drain, you can also "eject" it (using the "safely remove hardware" icon at bottom right on taskbar). (Annoyingly sometimes Windows says it can't, but undocking and redocking fixes it...)

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-Transformer-Book-T100TA-C1-GR-Convertible.106219.0.html says their website-surfing test showed 9h16m for with hard drive, 10h47m without. So a significant difference, but OTOH, I decided that over 9 hours was still very good, especially compared to laptops.

All Windows PCs can be DLNA servers as standard (via Windows Media Player), and many Windows 8 apps support playing to DLNA devices too. Playing from other DLNA devices should be no problem. I don't think DLNA requires any special hardware support, it's just done through standard Wifi.

I've found the T100 to be a great choice for an ultra-portable laptop, the low price and being able to double up as a tablet is a bonus. It's much more functional than Android tablets. If you already have an Android tablet, you'll get the best of both worlds (I have a Nexus 7; each platform has its own strengths). It's not as powerful as full laptops, but those are bigger and/or heavier, and the T100 is still fast enough for most purposes. It's way faster than older Atom netbooks (not just CPU; the SSD means much smoother performance than the crappy slow hard drives many netbooks used to have - even the hard drive in the dock is much faster than my old netbook's drive).

Well, there's a version of the T100 without hard drive, as well as plenty of other Windows tablets without hard drives.

Though I don't know if that is the reason - there really shouldn't be any significant drain on a T100 in sleep (even with hard drive - it should be shut down when sleeping). But some people have had problems on battery drain, which could be various reasons. I had terrible drain overnight, but this was fixed by updating to the latest BIOS driver. It's something that is more likely to be problematic on x86 Windows due to its heritage, compared to ARM mobile OSes like Android, but still, things are way better than what many laptops can do (e.g., being able to play music whilst on sleep).
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
BTW, for those in the market, T100 refurb (32GB flash) is hitting bargain bin at NewEgg. Good until 7/5.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231730

$260 - $50 rebate (cash card) = $210

Decent deal for a last-gen refurb. Worth it if you need one right now, but new (BETTER! SHINIER!) toys are imminent. I expect the T100 successor with same above config will be $250-300. Less problems, better support.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gqsanders:
Is anyone losing interest in the G3 while waiting for release dates to be announced? Its odd how the phone was announced almost a month ago and still no carrier outside of verizon has a release date. The longer LG waits the more we hear about upcoming flag ships that can lure away potential buyers from the G3. I call T-Mobile and nobody knows of anything, I haven't lost interest yet but my patience is running thin!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Its announced both by T-Mobile http://shop.t-mobile.nl/eca/RAPRD/LG-Electronics-G3-goud/mlgg3agd.html?ab_agid=1011 and LG Netherlands http://www.lg.com/nl that the 16GB model will be available July 3 ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
I'm losing interest in the G3. No reason for them to wait so long for release dates.

LG makes nice phones, yet they make horrible marketing decisions.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
They are at least better then OnePlus One ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ2525:
A little bit, for sure. To me, what's worse than taking a while to release a product after announcing it, is not even giving customers a firm idea of when they'll be able to get their hands on the product.

I'll still probably buy it, just because there isn't another phone that offers such a large screen in a relatively small form factor. But this process has definitely sullied my anticipation, for sure.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anl2304:
You know, I was thinking the same thing this weekend. I was really looking forward to the phone, but since the announcement, nothing. And the longer they delay the release, or the longer there is silence, I am thinking I may as well wait a couple months for the galaxy prime/F, galaxy note 4, Motorola X +1, any other phone coming out. LG had my undivided attention in late May. Now, not so much.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gqsanders:
I agree I'm growing tired of waiting, the Note 4 sounds nice but I'm not sure about touchwiz anymore so I'm nonchalant with phones as of right now
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jfree3000:
Count me in, if LG wanted to be a real competitor this go round they should have planned a global release. Getting bored with my Note 3 and TouchWiz looking forward to Sony's upcoming Z phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Very much so.

I had 100% expected to pre-order this phone, however since it was announced I've been getting less and less interested in it. A few reasons why:

Shipping with snapdragon 801 rather than the 805

Poor screen in terms of contrast, brightness, over sharpening. While offering only a debatable increase in sharpness

Very, very poor battery life in some aspects (compared with equivalent flagships)

Overheating issues with the screen, and SoC to a lesser extent, but still more than other phones

Each one is only a minor issue, but overall they add up.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaketchup:
The battery life is not poor. I am using one right now and I have to say that its one of the best in terms of battery life.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
On its own, it's not that poor. But when you compare it (specifically the screen on time, which is important to me) to the M8/S5/etc then it's far from good.

Take a read through these pages to see what I mean:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaketchup:
Still dont believe it though. Got an S5 and an LG G3. S5 needs a lot more recharging. :/
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
That's reassuring to hear.

I really want to like the phone. I've got the upgrade itch from my N5, and the G3 sounded great with the larger screen, but not quite being Galaxy Note sized.

I guess I need to wait until they're around and have a play with one, then see if it's something I can justify overall.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaketchup:
The G3 feels weird on my hand though. I feel like the screen is too wide for me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Or maybe you just have small hands ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsalexaye90:
I have a Korean G3 right now (reviewing on Androidheadlines.com) and battery life has been great, given that it's a device not optimized for the US networks and was on pre-release software. I got nearly 7 hours on screen the first week. Which is about what I get on the LG G2 (my current daily driver). That said, I'm still anxious to see the US variants. And see how battery life holds up on them.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodvova:
You are dead boring.

There is only one phone with 805 on the market right now and it's sold only in Korea.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
You find my opinion on the phone boring? It's kind of the point of this thread.

I'm not asking you to agree with me, so I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Also, why are you telling me about the other phone with the 805?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodvova:
you listed it as a cons for G3 without even having a check whether 805 is used at all in the market.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
It is a con, because I want my next phone to have at least the 805. Just because it isn't what you would consider a con doesn't mean I can't see it that way. And so what if it's not used yet, for every bit of new technology there has to be a phone which is the first to use it; I was hoping the G3 would be this for the 805. Sadly, it wasn't.

My Nexus 5 has the 800, so I wanted something a bit more than the 801 to help justify the upgrade. You should also note the bit of my post where I said that each con was only a minor one, so I'm not trying to say that not having the 805 is a deal breaker, just that it's something that wasn't as good as I had hoped.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodvova:
What the absence of 805 has anything to do with "losing interest in the G3" ?

It's been know since the announcement that it has 801.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
Re-read my post please, specifically the bit that I've bolded for you. A lot of the rumours and leaks pointed towards the G3 having the 805, which got me more interested in the phone. When it was announced with the 801 I lost that interest. Does that make sense yet?

Simply put, from the leaks I expected/hoped it to have the 805, so I was very interested. When it was announced with the 801 I was less interested. So yes, it has a lot to do with "losing interest" in the phone/

I would say yes. At least with the 1+1, it's cheap compared to this $650+ device, so the wait might be worth it. At this pace, I'll just wait for the N4. I would've bought one if it came out this month had it been released.

I was really up for canning my M8 and getting the G3 just for the camera upgrade. The more reviews I see about the camera is making me think its not worth the bother. Sure the resolution will be better than the M8, but not THAT much more to pay the difference.

You now what.. I'm kinda waiting to see what Phone 6 is gonna come up with.

I think the market is waiting for the next revolution like we had 7 years ago. I don't think we or any OEM quite knows what that is though.

Oh come on.. Apple are responsible for the rise of portable mp3 players with the iPod and with that the current model for music distribution. Apple also pioneered the commercial success of touch screen smartphones and tablet computing. This isn't my theory. It is what it is,

I didn't say he invented it, I used windows mobile years before the iPhone. SJ refined the mobile experience and made it accessible and exciting to everyone rather than geeks typing on XDA.

Since SJ passed away, Apple has lost its magic, hence my comment about needing another SJ. He helped push the boundaries in consumer tech. He took ideas and made them better.

The iPhone UI was inspired by the LG chocolate UI btw.

Its been a week since I first gotten the G3. Everything is A-Okay. Good battery, good screen, no lags or stutters but I kinda miss the BoomSound of my old HTC Butterfly S.

Apple just was the chic thing all the little kids like the apple... Its kind of sickening the way people think that apple invented the smart phone.... And the treo 600 and others were out 5 years before the iPhone... Yes they were the first mainstream smartphone but only because of the way apple is followed ... I will tell the truth.. I hate apple and will never use one just because of how locked down they are.... Also only a 4in screen and you think that is visionary... They could have really killed other smart phones back in the day if they had actually done some visionary thinking and adapted to bigger screens and little more open os.

If Verizon offer a 3/32, I will get one and test it. If the battery life is similar to my S4, I will be happy. If Verizon only offers the 2/16, interest would be completely lost. 10gb of storage is less than half of my S4. A one year old device. Next!

Just kind of sad if AT&T only offers the 16/2 version.

Note 4 is just too big. AT&T only offers the 16 gig S5, so same as G3. And I tried the M8 (camera is just horrible with purple tint everywhere) so I just went back to a S3 i had lying around until I decide.

I buy a new phone at least every year, so may just go with the AT&T 16/2 model anyway until phones with the snapdragon 810 come out.

The typical 2yd header haha.

Are you a T-Mobile customer? There are rumors pointing that T-Mobile will only carry the 32/3 version.

I've been thinking a lot of about the Note 4 but I think it might just be too big and an inconvenience for me. I like going for runs and to the gym and I really can't see myself carrying a 5.7-5.9" device around. I'm sure spec wise it's gonna be phenomenal.

I know the G3 isn't a small phone itself and is actually on the large side but design wise I think LG nailed to make it not feel like an enormous phone with the thin bezels. I only consider the S5 cause of its display, pretty good battery, water/dust resistance and camera app. Not a fan of all the other gimmicks that bloats the device and the 2gb of ram is disappointing.

I find a lot of LG's gimmicks to be more useful for me. The mixed reviews about battery life and the lack of brightness for the display are a bit of a concern for me.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
You're missing my point. The hardware specs are good.

However, on the G3 the screen quality is poor (brightness, contrast, sharpening effects, that sort of thing) , the battery life is fairly bad in terms of screen on time, and the performance is less than that of the phones it competes with.

I'm not denying that it has fantastic raw specs, it does. But the hardware also has downsides, and it's those downsides which have been the reason a lot of us in this thread have been put off.

what gets old here is when people say how great or lousy a phone is without ever owning, touching, testing, or even seeing the phone.

opinions are fine, and help make XDA what is has always been; but please, if you are going to make comments on any thing electronic, at least take the time to see it, touch it, test it out, so your opinion can be based on some actual experience, and not some horse sheet you read in Twitterland or Face schnook city, or any other of the endless "expert" review sites..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
I agree to some extent, there are some aspects of a phone (or any product) that you will have to actually own it/have used it to be able to give an opinion on. How nice it is to use, how it feels in the hand, that sort of subjective opinion definitely needs to be formed from using the product.

However, what I've been stating isn't an opinion, just the facts that have come out of the reviews. Simple numbers which have been measured. How those factors affect each person is down to them, so obviously I cannot comment on that, but for me it was enough to put me off the phone a bit.
