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

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

Android 4.0 OS, quad core processor, 18 hours of battery life (with the dock), Keyboard dock
Only WiFi connectivity, Limited apps to support the quad core processor, Definitely on the expensive side
