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: The first thing that you'll discover when you've attached the keyboard to the tablet is just how much the Transformer Prime looks like one of ASUS' brand new MacBook Air-esque Ultra Books. It's remarkably thin at just 8.3mm and even with the keyboard in p...

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 pote...
Blisteringly powerful processor, Very bright screen, Keyboard makes typing much easier, Sturdy build quality
Won't ship with latest version of Android, Expensive, Software problems with camera
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is a superbly powerful tablet made as practical as a laptop by the keyboard dock. Sadly, it's let down by its outdated operating system -- it's premium in hardware, but not in software....
Stunning Super IPSdisplay, Outstanding battery life, Greatlooking design and solid build quality, Physical keyboard makes light work of text entry, SD card slot for storage expansion, Classleading camera
App library pales in comparison to iOS, Costs as much as a fullyfeatured laptop, Only one configuration for UK consumers
A top IPS screen, good even outdoors, The Tegra 3 quadcore is very promising, Nice design and very slimline, good use of aluminium, Keyboard dock an improvement on the first one, Good battery life / Video decoding
Poor speaker sound, Honeycomb still not 100% optimised. We can't wait for Android 4.0!, Keyboard could still be improved / Tablet not available without the dock, Proprietary connector for charging and connecting the dock…, No dedicated media player
If you don’t want to go for an iPad and you’re looking towards Android, the EeePad Transformer Prime is THE no one product out there right now. Sure, you have to get the keyboard with it but this takes the tablet into another world, that of the hybrid ...

The best Android tablet yet, boasting excellence all round, but it isn't perfect...
Thinner and lighter than most, Gorgeous, super-bright IPS screen, Quad-core yet excellent battery life, Keyboard dock adds connectivity and battery, Full HD video plays smoothly
Dock's keyboard inferior to original Transformer, Metal finish relatively smudge-prone and slippery, Top-heavy docked design requires care on lap, Poor speaker positioning, App selection still inferior to iPad, No 3G (yet)
Asus' Tranformer Prime is a thing of beauty. Despite being easily as thin and light as most rivals, this aluminium-clad tablet is far more powerful thanks to its quad-core Tegra 3 internals. This also means that smooth 1080p video playback on a tablet and...
