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

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

A bit slow with heavyweight games and the OS sometimes lags

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

At $350, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is one of the lowest priced full-sized, Android 4.0-upgradable tablets. Also, its high-quality screen and relatively cheap keyboard/dock make it an attractive option
A few things keep the Transformer from completely blowing us away: the choppy recording and playback of the camcorder, its sharp edges, a build quality that's somewhat lacking, and problems that arise when docking
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a low-price, quality Honeycomb tablet with useful options.
Fast Tegra processor, Elegant design, Wide viewing angles, Long battery life, especially with dock, Keyboard dock adds versatility, Lighter than other 10-inch Android tablets
Touchscreen less responsive when docked, Some software glitches, Docking should be easier
We give ASUS a lot of credit for the Eee Pad Transformer TF10, which beats the Lenovo U1 Hybrid to market as the first Android tablet that connects to a keyboard dock. In addition to making typing easier, the Transformer's $149 dock adds a battery life...
