The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime keeps the same form factor as the original Transformer. You'll still be able to use it as a lightweight tablet when you're travelling
Or add a proper keypad when you want to work or add extra battery power. The styling on the Transformer Prime has moved on slightly
With thinner dimensions and a more curved design. It looks great
And the metal finish adds a to

The editors didn't like
Won't ship with latest version of Android
Expensive
Software problems with camera
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?
Android Honeycomb —that's literally it if we're honest
Average camera
Screen not as colourful as Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Some minor recording bugs
Movie rentals did not work
App selection
Heavy when combined with the docking station
Doesn't have ICS just yet
Oversensitive trackpad
Lack of software that takes advantage of the quadcore chip
Heavier than standalone tabs
No USB charging
Poor speaker sound
Honeycomb still not 100% optimised. We can't wait for Android 4.0!
Keyboard could still be improved / Tablet not available without the dock
Proprietary connector for charging and connecting the dock…
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
Although we never found this to be a big issue. The keyboard dock has also slimmed down over the original. Although this makes it more portable
It also reduces the overall battery life (there are still no issues in using the Transformer Prime for an entire da
Still not quite a laptop replacement
Keyboard could be better
Can't match Apple's wealth of apps
Second best for AV performance
Display only has a 1280×800 resolution
GPS functionality is non-existent by nature of design
Those wanting a 3G model will have to wait for currently unreleased tablets
Aluminum backing scratches relatively easily
Not available without keyboard dock
Tends to topple over if you tap the screen when it's docked to the keyboard
Abstract: The first thing that you'll discover when you've attached the keyboard to the tablet is just how much the Transformer Prime looks like one of ASUS' brand new MacBook Air-esque Ultra Books. It's remarkably thin at just 8.3mm and even with the keyboard in p...

If we’re honest, Tegra 3 came as a little bit of a disappointment. We had been hoping for iPad-beating levels of responsiveness, smoothness and battery life. The Prime doesn’t quite offer that, and although the new chip does boost HD video and the pote...

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is a superbly powerful tablet made as practical as a laptop by the keyboard dock. Sadly, it's let down by its outdated operating system -- it's premium in hardware, but not in software....

If you don’t want to go for an iPad and you’re looking towards Android, the EeePad Transformer Prime is THE no one product out there right now. Sure, you have to get the keyboard with it but this takes the tablet into another world, that of the hybrid ...

The best Android tablet yet, boasting excellence all round, but it isn't perfect...
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' Tranformer Prime is a thing of beauty. Despite being easily as thin and light as most rivals, this aluminium-clad tablet is far more powerful thanks to its quad-core Tegra 3 internals. This also means that smooth 1080p video playback on a tablet and...
