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
The Asus Transformer Prime is really an amazing device.Yes the initial rush to pre-order was unheard of in the Android world and Asus dealt with terribly. Many suppliers are still struggling to get hold of them.What on earth Asus were thinking announcing...

Abstract: Few brands have a better recent record than Asus: the EeePC was the laptop that popularised the ‘netbook' trend in laptops, and now for the new generation of Intel chips its Zenbook vies only with the new Samsung Series 9 to be the best of the new, ult...
Great screen, superb build, swift performance, reasonable connectivity, unmatched battery life, value for money
Still not quite a laptop replacement, keyboard could be better
The Prime comes with unmatched hardware and software specifications making it the best Android tablet on the market. The ultra-long battery life and excellent screen quality make it excellent value for money...
Solid chassis; Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ 4; fast quad core processor; great docking keyboard,
Issues with GPS.
That GPS issue is a real shame, because pretty much everything else about the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is smashing. Yes, you can get a laptop for the same money, but in our opinion you won’t find a better Android and keyboard combo. ...
Superb screen, Great battery life, Comes with a keyboard dock that adds a second battery, Supports USB and SD card expansion via the keyboard dock
Not available without keyboard dock, Tends to topple over if you tap the screen when it's docked to the keyboard, Short of business software, No integrated mobile broadband option
Aside from the skinny dock, which is actually a bit of a step back from the Transformer 1 and wobbly GPS reception – but a patch is on the way – the Prime is an impressive bit of kit. The blazing fast hardware, superb screen, lightness, thinness and ...
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime keeps the same form factor as the original Transformer. You'll still be able to use it as a lightweight tablet when you're travelling, or add a proper keypad when you want to work or add extra battery power. The styling on the Transformer Prime has moved on slightly, with thinner dimensions and a more curved design. It looks great, and the metal finish adds a to
It's not all good news, however. The more rounded design makes the Transformer Prime slightly more unstable than the original Transformer, although we never found this to be a big issue. The keyboard dock has also slimmed down over the original. Although this makes it more portable, it also reduces the overall battery life (there are still no issues in using the Transformer Prime for an entire da
Overall though, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is our favourite tablet. The Android OS isn't quite as fluid as the iPad's iOS, but the keyboard makes it a much more usable proposition, while still offering a slim and stylish platform when you just ...
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime lives up to our expectations. It definitely is a very good-looking tablet, both with and without its dock. The Tegra 3 SoC in this tablet does not really add to the tablet experience when you browse or let it perform o...
Great design, awesome keyboard, Tegra 3 chipset, next-level gaming, lightweight, it's the first truly useful tablet
Android Honeycomb —that's literally it if we're honest
This is a truly compelling piece of hardware, featuring excellent design language, high-end hardware, next-generation processing power and masses of utility thanks to its attachable keyboard. We cannot praise Asus enough for what it has achieved with this...

Quadcore processor, Brilliant screen, Battery-boosting keyoard dock
Heavier than standalone tabs, No USB charging
We can’t make our minds up if this is more tablet than laptop or vice versa, but we can be sure of is that this is a great all round piece of kit that also looks the part. It’s packing one of the best keyboard docks we’ve seen and is supremely powerfu
