The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is undoubtedly the best hybrid we've yet seen, and doing it this way round – Android tablet with bonus keyboard – works far better than the Windows way. Purely as a tablet we prefer it to the Motorola Xoom as well: the screen...
Abstract: Those hoping for Transformers jokes in this review are going to be disappointed, but that aside the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 tablet is impressive. The glossy 10.1in (1,280 x 800 resolution) capacitive screen looks sharp, is decidedly responsive a...

Honeycomb looks is slick; Loads of expansion ports; Excellent keyboard dock, with extra battery life on tap;
Keyboard is a little slow when used in the web browser; No 3G; A little heavy, even for a netbook design;
At $799, the Transformer costs the same as what a 64GB WiFi-only Apple iPad 2, but offers something more in the form of that really nifty keyboard. If budget is a concern, you can take the 16GB sans keyboard option for $200 less, but you’d be buying t...

Like: This is a serious challenge to the dominant iPad. The Android operating system is superior to iOS, with true file management. The touch screen is smooth and responsive.
Dislike: The combined tablet and keyboard is heavy
Extra battery life when docked (~16 hours), Great IPS display (probably the best on a Tablet currently), Only Tablet in Australia currently running Android 3.1
A little bit bulky, especially when docked, No haptic feedback, No camera flash
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is a truly unique Tablet, which is great since all the tablets coming out at the moment are all rocking close to identical specs and form factors.The experience is smooth and clean in the Operating System and there seems ...
Affordable Android 3.1 tablet with excellent screen, Excellent build quality, Fullsized USB ports and SD card reader on dock, Dock gives extra battery charge, Useful bundled software
No 5GHz WiFi, No charging over USB, Android isn't yet fully notebook ready, Lack of palmcheck on touch pad is annoying, No delete key
The Eee Pad Transformer is a promise of things to come, with a tempting price to boot. Treating Android as a laptop is still a little rough, but for the most part works quite well, and the added battery life is a stroke of genius.

A few things keep the Transformer from completely blowing us away: the choppy recording and playback of the camcorder; its sharp edges; a build quality that's somewhat lacking; and problems that arise when docking
