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

Especially when docked

No camera flash

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
Abstract: Android 3.0 hasn't really set the world on fire as yet, but with the launch of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet, things are certainly going in the right direction. We decided to grab ourselves a Transformer to give it a full going over and find out ...
General screen quality and colour fidelity, Finally, a full onscreen keyboard!, Highquality finish but harsh, angular edges, Polaris Office for work docs and My Cloud for VPN, Good web browsing
Honeycomb feels as empty as ever and puts a bit of a damper on things, Viewing angles aren't as good as expected for an IPS screen, Propitiatory port / not many connections / poorquality camera, A bit slow with heavyweight games and the OS sometimes lags,
Superb keyboard; excellent docking mechanism; good battery life,
A few minor design niggles.
Those few design niggles aside, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is the best Android tablet we've seen to date. The bundled keyboard is what really makes the package versatile. Unlike other tablets we've seen so far, we have no trouble in believing some pe...
Great price; sturdy build quality; screen rivals the iPad; OS works well; smooth combination of keyboard and tablet; excellent connectivity; plenty of handy widgets
Weighty when docked; keyboard has to be purchased with tablet even if you're not keen on it; reflective display; lack of Honeycomb apps; sound quality mediocre
Pros: Great price; sturdy build quality; screen rivals the iPad; OS works well; smooth combination of keyboard and tablet; excellent connectivity; plenty of handy widgets Cons: Weighty when docked; keyboard has to be purchased with tablet even if you'r...
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is the Wayne Rooney of tablets. It might be aesthetically challenged, and its video playback and keyboard performance inconsistent at present, but there's no denying its versatility or skill. Likely to prove just as divisi...
Sturdy build quality, Great display, Good keyboard and trackpad, Impressive battery life
Some apps don't work with the keyboard, Not fast enough to play hidef video, Hard to find good Android Honeycomb apps
The 10.1-inch Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a great Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet, but it's the cleverly designed keyboard dock that makes it really stand out from the crowd. While not perfect, the Transformer's competitive price tag makes it well worth c...
Twopiece design slots together neatly and securely, Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) is designed for tablets, Good battery life, Good screen, Dualcore processor, Plenty of ports if you use the keyboard
System is topheavy in clamshell mode, Ports are sparse without the keyboard, Few tabletoptimised Android apps available
Design, great screen, microSD card slot works, relatively raw Honeycomb runs nicely, some extra additions from Asus add day 1 functionality, keyboard well made, value for money
Keyboard problems, lack of video codec support
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is an excellent device and good value for money, but the keyboard shows some operational problems that need to be addressed...
