ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime review: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime

The ; sports an iPad 2-inspired design that's even thinner and nearly as light, while also managing to include microSD and Micro-HDMI support. The Prime delivers smooth and clear 1080p video, and the 8-megapixel camera captures detail and color more...

Not every game takes advantage of the quad-core CPU, and frame rates can suffer as a result. When connected to the dock keyboard, the tablet is top-heavy and can easily slide off a lap or table if you're not careful.

The Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet, with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime review

What does a laptop in the post-PC era look like? Is it an ultrabook with familiar internals and software in a dramatically slimmed-down shell? Or is it possible to use a modern mobile OS like Android, energy-efficient chips, and...

Great design, build, and size ; Bright, high quality SuperIPS+ screen ; Tablet can run for over nine hours ; Superb gaming performance

Poor app selection and quality ; Software isn’t completely optimized for the faster processor ; Browser performance can be sluggish

The laptop of the post-PC world needs the software to match it

Asus eee Pad Transformer Prime

But why are you buying this tablet without the $149 keyboard dock? The dock turns the Prime into a netbook, adding a six-row keyboard, whose keys are 94 percent as wide as standard laptop keys, and a trackpad below that. The keyboard's top row is all...

Blazing fast. Great gaming. Cool keyboard dock

Some bugs. Honeycomb lacks both apps and a good app store

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the best Honeycomb tablet available, but the OS lacks the tablet-optimized apps to compete with the iPad.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime: The Rolls-Royce of Android tablets

With its quad-core CPU and keyboard dock, Asus's Transformer Prime tablet is truly in a league of its own. But all that power comes at a cost.

Stellar performance; sleek design; excellent battery life; great display; high-quality cameras; PC-like transformation potential

Expensive, especially with dock accessory; many apps still don't take advantage of quad-core technology; bloatware baked into operating system

In a sea of sometimes indistinguishable tablets, Asus has managed to create a unique product that stands out from the pack. The Transformer Prime is sleek and attractive, with a powerful new processor that provides top-of-the-line performance and opens...

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Lighter and thinner yet more powerful than most rivals, the world's first quad-core tablet sports a stunning screen, gorgeous design and comes with a keyboard dock.

Thinner and lighter than most ; Gorgeous, super-bright IPS screen ; Quad-core yet excellent battery life ; Keyboard dock adds connectivity and battery ; Full HD video plays smoothly

Dock’s keyboard inferior to original Transformer ; Metal finish relatively smudge-prone and slippery ; Top-heavy docked design requires care on lap ; Poor speaker positioning ; App selection still inferior to iPad ; No 3G (yet)

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime review

The build quality is of a high standard with a premium feel to the product. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime feels sturdy in the hand with its strong and durable metal casing. A minor design quibble is that an inserted microSD card sticks out a few...

Meet the new general of the Android Army

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

The best Android tablet yet, boasting all-round excellence, but it still isn't a match for Apple's iPad.

So the Prime isn’t perfect, but it does edge in front of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on value, connectivity and all-round performance. It’s our new favourite Android tablet – and a hint of things to come.

Asus has taken yet another stab at the tablet market, this time with the follow up to its popular Transformer. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is essentially the same tablet with a decent all round upgrade.
