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

Hard to find good Android Honeycomb apps
Weighty when docked
Keyboard has to be purchased with tablet even if you're not keen on it
Reflective display
Lack of Honeycomb apps
Sound quality mediocre
Android OS is buggy
Video format support could be better
Honeycomb feels as empty as ever and puts a bit of a damper on things
Viewing angles aren't as good as expected for an IPS screen
Propitiatory port / not many connections / poorquality camera
A bit slow with heavyweight games and the OS sometimes lags
Keyboard problems
Lack of video codec support
Poor camera
Still not many Honeycomb apps
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
Fantastic screen for the price, Honeycomb has been sensibly tweaked
No more attractive than the Xoom
Asus has been trying to break into the mobile category for a long time, and rarely with much critical success. We’d say that with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, it’s finally cracked it, and at a superb asking price. It still suffers from the fate of loo...

Honeycomboptimised apps are sparse, Android 3.0 is a tad buggy, No standard USB slot on tablet
Hardware-wise we have almost no complaints about the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, but what about its software? The most serious shortcoming of the tablet in use isn't one that Asus has any control over – it's Android 3.0 Honeycomb apps. While many Android es...

Nice add-on software and the most up to date version of honeycomb makes the Asus Transformer the best Android tablet to date
What needs improvement: App support needs to get better
Asus has put together what I think is the best of any of the Android tablets to date. While it’s not as thin as the 10 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab. it has a great deal more functionality thanks to the well thought out keyboard peripheral. I actually typ...
