The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is one of the lowest priced full-sized
Android 4.0-upgradable tablets. Also
Its high-quality screen and relatively cheap keyboard/dock make it an attractive option
Honeycomb looks is slick
Loads of expansion ports
Excellent keyboard dock
With extra battery life on tap
Cheaper than every other Android 3.0 tablet
But no sacrifice in quality
Some excellent pre-installed apps for home entertainment
The editors didn't like
A little bit bulky
Especially when docked
No haptic feedback
No camera flash
Dislike
The combined tablet and keyboard is heavy
Top-heavy when connected to dock
No USB ports without dock
No 3G capability
Honeycomb-optimised apps are sparse
Android 3.0 is a tad buggy
No standard USB slot on tablet
Honeycomboptimised apps are sparse
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
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
Keyboard is a little slow when used in the web browser

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...

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.
