It can be unintuitive to use
And still feels better suited to smartphones than tablets. That said
Starting off with the build quality the Transformer is a device which is not only unique in styling but put together well and with great attention to detail. Despite being made of plastic it feels robust and solid with a high quality which extends to ...

The Transformer is the perfect tablet for more than one type of user. It's great if you're just looking for a well made gadget, for example, as it's small, robust and packed with features. If you're yet to be convinced by tablets, however, the Transfor...

Superb keyboard; excellent docking mechanism; good battery life,
