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

Attractive tablet

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
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

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
With neat apps and extras such as cloud storage and DLNA, plus the keyboard dock that adds battery life, a USB input and its impressively easy-to-use nature, it should be on any tablet shortlist. See all our tablet Best BuysFollow whathifi.com on TwitterJ...
Well Built Aluminium Body, Good docking area and probably best execution there currently is, Plenty of Power, Portability, Gaming is a Strong Point
Screen's not amazing, Touchpad is a little jumpy, Will you choose a tablet with a keyboard over a Ultrabook?
The ASUS Transformer Prime is the second attempt by ASUS at a tablet with keyboard dock and it's a good, solid go at this concept. ASUS has built a good tablet, that stands alone well and is better with the addition of a good keyboard....
