By far the best bit about the Eee Pad Transformer is the design. If you don't have the keyboard attached
You'd never know it was different from any other tablet. When you do hook up the keyboard
It looks like any other mini laptop
Save for a slightly bulkier but incredibly tough aluminium hinge that also acts as the dock. The keyboard is excellent considering the compact size
With the palm re

Gets very heavy
Browser kept crashing
Although the Eee Pad Transformer is one of our favourite tablets to date
It's not without issues. The Android operating system is arguably the biggest glitch – it's good
But it's not as impressive as the iOS operating system found on the iPad 2. At times
It can be unintuitive to use
And still feels better suited to smartphones than tablets. That said
Abstract: The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 has managed to get a unique place in the overcrowded Android tablet market by offering a low price for a high spec, and a keyboard dock that turns it into a netbook. It undercuts the Motorola Xoom on price with a near id...
Abstract: It's been a while since we published an overview of the current tablet market. With the holidays around the corner, we collected all of the tablets we've tested and that are still available, and created an overview of what's what. If you want to buy a t...

Abstract: Though fairly average on its own, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer can be paired with Asus' keyboard designed to complement the total performance of the whole unit, turning a mere tablet into a laptop. While we did not test the added capabilities of this acce...
Abstract: Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...

With the Eee Pad Transformer ASUS succeeded in something that only a hand full of companies have been able to within the past year: creating a tablet that stand out of the crowd with useful additional features and a unique look In this context the dock r...
Abstract: Our second Android 3 tablet arrives, this time offering a hybrid netbook design At first glance the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 looks very similar to the Acer Iconia Tab W500. Both are 10.1in tablets that come with their own netbook-style keyboard d...
Abstract: The Eee Pad Transformer is aptly named; there's more to this thing than meets the eye. Asus is the first to market with a tablet that pulls double-duty, attempting to replace your notebook, too. We put it through the paces to see how it really stacks u...
On the whole the tablet is the best yet produced to feature Android. It's not going to take down the iPad in it's prime. There is enough jazz to keep you coming back to it if you choose and for some it will give the iPad a bit of a sideswipe. Obviously...
We were surprised by the Asus Eee Pad Transformer; it’s easy to shrug it off as a desperate attempt at marrying an Android tablet the the keyboard-based convenience of a netbook. But it charms, and is a great standalone tablet - more stylish and stable...
