  • App library pales in comparison to iOS
  • Costs as much as a fullyfeatured laptop
  • Only one configuration for UK consumers
  • Issues with GPS.
  • Operating system needs refinement
  • Screen's not amazing
  • Touchpad is a little jumpy
  • Will you choose a tablet with a keyboard over a Ultrabook?

  • Oversensitive trackpad
  • Lack of software that takes advantage of the quadcore chip

  • No dedicated media player
  • It's not all good news
  • However. The more rounded design makes the Transformer Prime slightly more unstable than the original Transformer

  • It also reduces the overall battery life (there are still no issues in using the Transformer Prime for an entire da

  • Short of business software
  • No integrated mobile broadband option
  • Dock's keyboard inferior to original Transformer
  • Metal finish relatively smudge-prone and slippery
  • Top-heavy docked design requires care on lap

  • Slim and smart, Android 4.0 is fast and clean, good video and audio, clever extras
  • Can't match Apple's wealth of apps, second best for AV performance
  • With neat apps and extras such as cloud storage and DLNA, plus the keyboard dock that adds battery life, a USB input and its impressively easy-to-use nature, it should be on any tablet shortlist. See all our tablet Best BuysFollow whathifi.com on TwitterJ...
