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

Expensive
Software problems with camera
App library pales in comparison to iOS

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

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
Fastest Android tablet we've tested yet, Gorgeous design, materials and worksmanship, Super thin at. 33", Beautiful, bright display with Super IPS+ Mode, 32GB model at $499 is $100 cheaper than a similarly equipped iPad 2
Only one speaker port, Slightly warm color balance for the display
Performance Analysis: The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime offered the best all around performance we've seen in a tablet to date, often beating out Apple's iPad 2 in tests where we could match the two up, with the exception of the GLBenchmark Texture Fill...
To put it simply, the ASUS Transformer Prime is easily the best Android tablet and is possibly the best tablet, period. It depends mainly on your own taste and usage model. By itself, the Transformer Prime is a superbly designed and powerful tablet with a...

The Asus Transformer Prime 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
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.
