    1,9 kg for the 13,3 machine with keyboard dock.

    ( http://www.amazon.de/dp/B009PKYTL2?m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF - Produktdatenblatt)

    And without dock?
    No official confirmation yet. But a French speaking representative from ASUS said: 1,3 kg

    (Asus Transformer Book : la tablette convertible 13 pouces sous Windows 8 - YouTube; 2.40-2.45 Min.: Asus Transformer Book : la tablette convertible 13 pouces sous Windows 8 - YouTube)

    Found something different form the above, and probably closer to the truth:

    "With its 13.3-inch screen, the Transformer Book is fairly heavy when used as a tablet--it weighs around 950g with its thickest point measuring 11mm. The keyboard dock adds another 900g. It's definitely not light for a 13.3-inch laptop, but we suppose that's the price for having the option to use it as a tablet."

    According to this source, the tablet without keyboard dock seems to weigh up to 1 kg.
