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
No micro USB on the tablet itself, Slight backlight bleed in certain areas of the screen
Performance Analysis: The Asus Eee Pad Transformer offered up the best 10 or 7-inch tablet benchmark numbers we've seen to date. Even in our graphics testing, versus Samsung's potent Hummingbird processor in the Galaxy Tab, the Transformer outpaced all...
Physical QWERTY keyboard. Useful touchpad. Lots of Honeycomb-specific function keys. Snug connection with the Transformer. Folds closed like a laptop when connected.
Keyboard is not full-sized. Difficult to dock Transformer. Heavy.

Inexpensive and powerful Honeycomb tablet, Keyboard features fullsized USB and SD, Good Office apps
Mediocre build quality, Average display and speakers, Honeycomb not meant for keyboard and cursor navigation
With a $400 launch price, the Eee Pad Transformer is a viable and low-cost alternative to the Wi-Fi Xoom, which currently runs $600 (May 2011). The Xoom has a better build quality, but both provide the same 10.1-inch Honeycomb experience. I?m not sold on...
In spite of my minor complaints about its design, this tablet is worthy of consideration. Asus's aggressive pricing, coupled with its above-average display, make the Transformer a serious contender. Even if you factor in the extra cost of the docking ...
Android 3.0 is a still a young platform, and Google still has work to do to bring it up to speed with iOS on the iPad. That’s the unescapable fact about all Honeycomb-based tablets around today; similarly important, though, is that all evidence sugges...
Fairly priced with an optional keyboard dock; exceptional battery life; versatile; bright and crisp display; ample memory and external storage space; Tegra 2 processor makes for little to no lag.
Bigger than other tablets with same size display; Honeycomb is still buggy; speakers and cameras are lackluster; backordered nearly everywhere; still lacking widespread tablet-optimized application support.
For the price, the Transformer cannot be beat. If you are seeking a tablet for both fun and to get some work done, the Transformer with its keyboard companion is the tablet for you. However, if you need an Internet connection while in a pinch, you mi...
Currently the most affordable Honeycomb tablet. Speedy Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. Honeycomb features strong multitasking, e-mail and calendar notifications. HDMI out for HD video and mirroring. $150 keyboard dock accessory turns the tablet into a virtual notebook.
Optional keyboard accessory was buggy at launch. Honeycomb interface can be cluttered. Virtual keyboard is slightly modified and doesn't handle predictive text well.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 distinguishes itself from the sea of emerging Honeycomb tablets with its aggressive pricing, and an optional accessory that turns it into a virtual notebook. ...
