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
Very fast
First quad-core tablet
Slim
Attractive tablet
Durable with spun metal finish
Keyboard dock adds a lot of function
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

Keyboard’s trackpad is over sensitive

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: We reviewed and loved the original Asus Transformer in Geare #67, and here already is the new and improved ‘ Transformer Prime ' (yes, the cartoon series did object to the name), running Android 4.0 Ice-Cream Sandwich. The main equation here is the sam...
Here we are again, another great ASUS tablet. You could go back and read the final thoughts I wrote for the Infinity, because this is pretty much going to be a mirror of that review. I loved the feel of the Transformer Prime, I think this is one of th...
Highresolution camera, Very fast, Helpful keyboard shortcuts, Incredible build quality, Battery life
GPS Signal, WiFi connectivity, Occasional bugs
Let me put it this way. If I had the Transformer Prime instead of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I would be over the moon. If I had the Prime instead of the Acer Iconia tabs, I would be ecstatic. The Prime is by far the best 10.1″ Android tablet out there an...
Abstract: We can’t stress enough how amazing this tablet is. As a standalone tablet, it’s neck and neck with the Toshiba AT200 as the best Android tablet launched so far in 2012. But docked with a keyboard, it also successfully demonstrates the hybrid concep...
