If small hybrid tablets like Microsoft’s 10-inch Surface Pro are your thing, Asus has started selling the Transformer Mini T102HA in the US, an affordable 10.1-inch tablet rocking a metal body, a smart hinge design and a fingerprint sensor on the back (via Neowin). While the 2-in-1 device doesn’t feature high-end specs, it does come with up to 4 gigs of RAM, up to 128GB of eMMC storage and all the ports you need including MicroSD. Also included in the package are a pen and detachable keyboard available in four colors (Quartz Gray, Amber, Mint Green and Icicle Gold).

A cheaper 64GB version should be available to purchase sometime later. Let us know in the comments if you think this new 10-inch tablet could be a good replacement for Microsoft’s aging Surface Pro 3
