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

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
Abstract: Well designed and powerfulThe ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is very easy on the eye. The bezel is slightly larger than other tablets, but this does not detract from the over appearance of the device. The Transformer feels very solid and well built, and althoug...

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer's optional keyboard dock accessory gives it a unique edge over the competition when it comes to Android tablets. Its top heavy design, limited functionality without the dock and lack of 3G connectivity are annoyances, but ...
