The editors liked
Highresolution camera
Very fast
Helpful keyboard shortcuts
Incredible build quality
Battery life
Excellent design and aesthetics
Keyboard dock is a great add-on
Slick software and good performance
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
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.
Super IPS+ screen is gorgeous. Lovely design. Tegra 3 performs very well. Decent battery life
Excellent expansion options
Very well built
Outstanding battery life
The editors didn't like
GPS Signal
WiFi connectivity
Occasional bugs
Very top-heavy when docked
No 3G
Poor GPS performance
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
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.
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
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...

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...

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...

If we're honest, Tegra 3 came as a little bit of a disappointment. We had been hoping for iPad-beating levels of responsiveness, smoothness and battery life. The Prime doesn't quite offer that, and although the new chip does boost HD video and the potenti...
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...

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....
