The Transformer Prime shows how Android tablets could and should be built. And this tablet actually lives up to the hype as far as speed and performance goes. It's easily the fastest Android tablet out there
And may well be faster than the iPad 2—though
Fastest Android tablet we've tested yet
Materials and worksmanship
Super thin at. 33"
Beautiful
Bright display with Super IPS+ Mode
32GB model at $499 is $100 cheaper than a similarly equipped iPad 2

The Asus Transformer Prime sports an iPad 2-inspired design that's even thinner and nearly as light
While also managing to include microSD and Micro-HDMI support. The Prime delivers smooth and clear 1080p video
And the 8-megapixel camera captures detail

Not a lot of software optimized for quad-core CPU
Occasional hiccups and stuttersKeyboard on dock is less than perfect
GPS and WiFi woes
Weak
Quiet audio
Tiny power button
Not readable in direct sunlight
Some bugs
Honeycomb lacks both apps and a good app store
Keyboard’s trackpad is over sensitive
Not much quad-core optimised software yetLook and Feel...
No dedicated USB port
Only one speaker
No Android 4.0 face-recognition feature

The big ding is that it's still running Honeycomb. While the Tegra 3 over-powers Honeycomb's speed problems with obscene processing power
It's still not a very intuitive UI
The most glaring design flaw is the speaker. Yes
Speaker. Singular
Only one speaker port
Slightly warm color balance for the display
GPS signal issues
Keys on dock are shallow
Camera captures washed out images
Weighting when docked takes getting used to
Not every game takes advantage of the quad-core CPU
And frame rates can suffer as a result. When connected to the dock keyboard
The tablet is top-heavy and can easily slide off a lap or table if you're not careful
WiFi only. 40pin connector for charging instead of USB. Keyboard dock is pricey. Dock is lighter than tablet
Making the assembly topheavy and causing stability problems. Keyboard's trackpad has issues
Poor app selection and quality
Software isn't completely optimized for the faster processor
Abstract: I'm going to come clean to you guys/girls. I have had tablets for the past 2-3 years and for the first few years, I really never put them to use. I found them to be cumbersome, slow, and there just wasn't enough reason to use them. Frankly I could do it ...
Weighing up the specifications, we would have expected the Surface to win more rounds, especially considering how new it is and that it won't be available until Autumn. This gives us reason to suspect that Microsoft might launch an outdated product. Th...
I'm not going to call on overall winner here, because I don't think it's fair to name one "better" than the other. Much like with smartphones, the way each individual uses their tablet constitutes which one is the "best" one for them, and both of these...
Abstract: 659Pros: Good battery life; good number of ports and buttons.Cons: Medium performance; no biometrics. We liked that the ThinkPad had 64G of hard drive space. Its 1G of memory was the average amount for those we looked at this time around, so that is ...

There is no doubt in my mind which tablet is better among these competitors. Apple's iPad 3 is more attractive, a bit easier to handle, offers a significantly superior display and far better battery endurance. Using the iPad 3 is simply more enjoyable for...
Abstract: and ErgonomicsAsus clearly listened to user complaints about the flimsy exposed ports on the Transformer Prime, so the new Transformer Pad TF300 has more support around the port area (less curve at the edges where the ports live). The power button is mad...
Abstract: and Build QualityWe all know that the Asus wanted to challenge the iPad 2 for high style and metal casing. The Prime is one of the thinnest tablets on the market at 0.32
Abstract: By now, we all realize the advantage of having our smartphones on us at all times, especially when the opportunity comes around to snap up a shot of some kind. Obviously, thanks to the portability of our modern smartphones, we’re able to quickly captu...
The Transformer Prime can be found online for as little as $500. Not bad, considering that the Motorola XOOM WiFi is still going for $420. If you have been in the market for an Android tablet, for just $80 more, you can completely justify spending the...
There’s good reason as to why many people regard these two titans as the two best tablets on the market right now. For starters, they are premium in every way, shape, and form – inside and out! Essentially, they epitomize everything that means to be c...
