No charging over USB
Android isn't yet fully notebook ready
Lack of palmcheck on touch pad is annoying

A few things keep the Transformer from completely blowing us away

And problems that arise when docking
Keyboard is a little slow when used in the web browser
Abstract: Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...
Abstract: We have been lucky enough to have a play with the Asus EEE Transformer for the past few weeks (thanks to Clove for sending this to us). It's a Tablet that bears a strong resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 only with marginally better build quality ...
With the Eee Pad Transformer ASUS succeeded in something that only a hand full of companies have been able to within the past year: creating a tablet that stand out of the crowd with useful additional features and a unique look In this context the dock r...
Abstract: Our second Android 3 tablet arrives, this time offering a hybrid netbook design At first glance the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 looks very similar to the Acer Iconia Tab W500. Both are 10.1in tablets that come with their own netbook-style keyboard d...
Abstract: The Eee Pad Transformer is aptly named; there's more to this thing than meets the eye. Asus is the first to market with a tablet that pulls double-duty, attempting to replace your notebook, too. We put it through the paces to see how it really stacks u...
On the whole the tablet is the best yet produced to feature Android. It's not going to take down the iPad in it's prime. There is enough jazz to keep you coming back to it if you choose and for some it will give the iPad a bit of a sideswipe. Obviously...
We were surprised by the Asus Eee Pad Transformer; it’s easy to shrug it off as a desperate attempt at marrying an Android tablet the the keyboard-based convenience of a netbook. But it charms, and is a great standalone tablet - more stylish and stable...
Starting off with the build quality the Transformer is a device which is not only unique in styling but put together well and with great attention to detail. Despite being made of plastic it feels robust and solid with a high quality which extends to ...
By far the best bit about the Eee Pad Transformer is the design. If you don't have the keyboard attached, you'd never know it was different from any other tablet. When you do hook up the keyboard, it looks like any other mini laptop, save for a slightly bulkier but incredibly tough aluminium hinge that also acts as the dock. The keyboard is excellent considering the compact size, with the palm re
Although the Eee Pad Transformer is one of our favourite tablets to date, it's not without issues. The Android operating system is arguably the biggest glitch – it's good, but it's not as impressive as the iOS operating system found on the iPad 2. At times, it can be unintuitive to use, and still feels better suited to smartphones than tablets. That said, although some features weren't where we e
The Transformer is the perfect tablet for more than one type of user. It's great if you're just looking for a well made gadget, for example, as it's small, robust and packed with features. If you're yet to be convinced by tablets, however, the Transfor...
