Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Lighter and thinner yet more powerful than most rivals, the world's first quad-core tablet sports a stunning screen, gorgeous design and comes with a keyboard dock.

Thinner and lighter than most, Gorgeous, super-bright IPS screen, Quad-core yet excellent battery life, Keyboard dock adds connectivity and battery, Full HD video plays smoothly

Dock’s keyboard inferior to original Transformer, Metal finish relatively smudge-prone and slippery, Top-heavy docked design requires care on lap, Poor speaker positioning, App selection still inferior to iPad, No 3G (yet)

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 32GB

Slim and smart, Android 4.0 is fast and clean, good video and audio, clever extras

Can’t match Apple’s wealth of apps, second best for AV performance

Asus has carved a niche here – and if the added functionality appeals, it’s a winner

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Mobile Docking Station review

This keyboard dock adds 1.2 pounds and just 0.4 inch to the Transformer Prime. Unlike the original Transformer--which bulks up to the size of an average netbook with its dock--the Transformer Prime remains under an inch thick at only 0.75 inch with its...

The Transformer Prime's keyboard dock improves on that of the original Transformer by packing the same ports and extra battery life into an even slimmer and lighter package. Unfortunately, the keys remain cramped.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime review

Asus' original Transformer was Stuff's Product of the Year 2011, and the new Prime is all that and more. With a quad-core Tegra 3 processor inside, it's the fastest tablet ever.

There’s 32GB of built in storage and access to 8GB of Asus web storage. If we’re looking for a gripe about all this, then it has to be that there’s no 3G version. But if you are even remotely interested in writing text on an Android tablet, then the...

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime review -

Quad-core performance is evident in slick transitions and program multitasking, high-quality keyboard for emails, high-spec cameras, desktop-like browser

Keyboard’s trackpad is over sensitive, not much quad-core optimised software yet

Asus Transformer Prime TF201: A Tablet With A Higher Calling

Apple's new iPad is turning heads, but it's not the only compelling choice. Four months after its introduction, Asus' Transformer Prime TF201 ...

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Beautiful and solid construction, Keyboard firmly connects to screen, Fast and responsive

Expensive, Keyboard dock is not included in the price, Touchpad a bit small, GOS issues

From a pure product perspective though, the Transformer Prime is one of the most impressive Android tablets we’ve tested in a while. Its sharp screen and general build quality impressed us no end, and we loved how quickly and easily the tablet...

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Mobile Docking Station review

Like its predecessor, the Transformer TF101, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 tablet is named for its ability to plug into a keyboard dock accessory and become a laptop-like device. Since the Transformer Prime TF201 Mobile Docking Station...

On the positive side, the feedback is good, neither too mushy nor too springy. Once you get used to the spacing, typing on this dock could be described as workable. When you consider the good-enough typing along with all the other benefits of this...
