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

Fiddly onscreen keyboard
No USB charging
A few minor design niggles.
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
Twopiece design slots together neatly and securely, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) is designed for tablets, Good battery life, Good screen, Dualcore processor, Plenty of ports if you use the keyboard
System is topheavy in clamshell mode, Ports are sparse without the keyboard, Few tabletoptimised Android apps available
Design, great screen, microSD card slot works, relatively raw Honeycomb runs nicely, some extra additions from Asus add day 1 functionality, keyboard well made, value for money
Keyboard problems, lack of video codec support

Stylish, well built, sensibly priced, easy to use, brilliant performance
Not capable of everything a regular laptop can do, keyboard can be fiddly
With the Eee Pad Transformer, Asus has succeded in making a tablet that offers more to business users than the iPad. It's not a complete success, especially where some PC functionality is concerned, but it's still a fantastic piece of equipment....

and conclusions All in all, there are lots of things we like about the Asus EEE Pad Transformer. It's definitely a solid piece of technology and is well built, good looking and powerful. Comes with nice connectivity options, nice features and an amazing...
In spite of my minor complaints about its design, this tablet is worthy of consideration. Asus's aggressive pricing, coupled with its above-average display, make the Transformer a serious contender. Even if you factor in the extra cost of the docking s...
In terms of Android tablets, this is the best that you can currently buy and the keyboard dock gives it the edge if you want a device that you can really work on. That said, the iPad 2 is still that bit slicker and smoother to use. It also has a much w...
