  • 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

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Sponsored
  • 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
  • Browser performance can be sluggish
  • Weak GPS signal strength
  • Soso video recording & photo quality
  • Still not quite a laptop replacement
  • Keyboard could be better
  • Not all ICS features are available
  • GPS only works sporadically
  • No 3G/UMTS

  • Tegra 3 came as a little bit of a disappointment to the reviewers at iTnews' sister publication, PC&Tech Authority. We had been hoping for iPad-beating levels of responsiveness, smoothness and battery life. The Prime doesn't quite offer that, and although...

  • Based on the lag and stability issues that plague the Transformer Prime, we get the feeling that ASUS rushed the Ice Cream Sandwich update out just for the privilege of being first to market. What we've ended up with, then, is a beautifully-designed, ext...

  • Excellent expansion options; Very well built; Outstanding battery life;
  • Performance can lag from time to time; Rubber feet don't stop it from slipping;
  • In the Transformer Prime, Asus has managed to perfect what it created the first time around. By adopting a similar body to the ZenBook, keeping build materials strong, and refining its unique design approach, Asus has delivered the ideal tablet computing...

  • Super IPS+ screen is gorgeous. Lovely design. Tegra 3 performs very well. Decent battery life
  • No SIM slot. Panoramic photography isn't what it's cracked up to be. Android still has a lot of work to do to become a good desktop experience. Not everything is optimised for quad core. The TF700T is coming
  • Asus' Transformer Prime combined with Ice Cream Sandwich is an excellent tablet. For now, this is the one to get — at least until the TF700T comes down the line....

  • Excellent design and aesthetics, Keyboard dock is a great add-on, Slick software and good performance
  • Very top-heavy when docked, No 3G, Poor GPS performance
  • If you don't want an iPad, the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the tablet you do want. It has a great design, a nifty keyboard dock, slick, up-to-date software and great performance. The lack of 3G is a pain and there are a couple of other issues that n...

  • This is an excellent tablet for anyone who wants a lot of processor grunt, great graphics and Android 4.0. It's light in the hand and is packed with a lot of unique features.
  • When attached to the keyboard dock it is a tad heavy. It's also pricey but if you want a BMW over a V8 Holden you have to pay for the privilege, it’s no different with tablets.

  • This morning I sat in on a conference with ASUS about their upcoming Tegra 3-based Transformer Prime tablet. The event covered everything you and I need to know about the tablet, as well as a few surprises. First off, the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Pr...
