ASUS Transformer Prime + QWERTY KB Features
The Transformer Prime is the first tablet featuring NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core Processor. It will also have Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) as un update very soon.
Featuring an ultra-slim form factor, the Transformer Prime is only 8.3mm (0.33") thin and weighs in at a mere 586g (1.29lbs without dock). This makes watching movies, surfing the web, playing games, taking photos, finishing up homework or video chatting with friends or family so easy and natural that you'll wonder if the Transformer Prime was designed specifically with you in mind. Its innovative metallic swirl design is made of aluminum for a secure yet extremely comfortable grip that comes in two gorgeous colors: Amethyst Gray and Champagne Gold.
The Transformer Prime is the world's first tablet to feature NVIDIA's next-generation quad-core Tegra® 3 processor. With the quad-core CPU, 12-core GeForce® GPU and vSMP technology, the Transformer Prime delivers an optimum user experience featuring smooth multitasking capabilities, lightning fast app loading, a rich and fluid web experience, full 1080P HD video for realistic media playback or recording and of course, incredible gaming performance that allows you to experience games in an entirely new way.
While the Transformer Prime is extremely slim and light, ASUS did not forget about battery life. Thanks to the advanced power management features of the Tegra® 3 processor and ASUS optimizations the Transformer Prime has a battery life of up to 12 hours, but when combined with the mobile dock, it lasts up to an incredible 18 hours, the longest battery life of any current tablet. That's enough battery life for a trans-ocean flight, all-night game session, viewing several movies on a long road trip or even video recording, editing, and then playing back your child's school play all in 1080P HD clarity.
The Eee Pad Transformer Prime boasts a wide 178° viewing angle IPS display, protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which features new ASUS technology to enhance the brightness of the screen for a better outdoor reading experience while still offering a remarkably vivid and brilliant viewing experience of photos, books, videos, movies and web pages indoors. Thanks to Multi-Touch technology, you can use your fingers to do everything from swiping through photos, surfing the web, playing the latest games, typing emails, instant messaging, reading books or magazines, and starting your favorite movie.
A 1.2MP front camera allows for instant photos or high-quality video conferencing with friends, family or coworkers while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash takes brilliant photos or video thanks to a large F2.4 aperture, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus depth of field and low-light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos or even 1080P HD videos.
The Transformer Prime offers impressive audio capabilities in a tablet, powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology, renowned for crisp and acoustically accurate audio. It produces crystal clear sound with a wide sound stage, increased audio fidelity, and distinct vocal enhancements for an immersive audio experience with your favorite music track, video, or movie.
ASUS will include several innovative applications like SuperNote that is fantastic for its ability to take, draw or record notes and Polaris® Office which is great for staying productive with the ability to read, edit or create Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-2007) compatible files. Thousands of top rated applications and games are also available at Android Market that fully takes advantage of the Transformer Prime's amazing features and power.

New era for Tablets
It is flawless and awesome this device will change your idea about speed, because it is flashy maybe it lacks 3G or 4G, but I'm reviewing what I have now thanks ASUS for another iPad killer

One of the best devices I've owned
I understand that early shipments of the Prime had problems, however I got mine in January and it's been an absolute joy to use. I was a little skeptical about the keyboard but figured it'd be a handy battery boost anyway, but now I've got it I love the form factor. They keyboard actually makes sense in use - the combination of touchscreen swipes, full-keyed keyboard and hotkeys adds up to pretty much the smoothest user interface out there. Performance is superb, but that was expected with a Tegra 3 device. Note that unlike Tegra 2, 3 has no problems playing the full range of High Def h264 profiles. Game performance is top notch too, with the Tegra3 edition of ShadowGun being simply astonishing. There's a simple beauty to the design, looking every bit the premium gadget. Having a device that you use like a tablet when your out, then dock to the keyboard to use as a netbook when you get home just feels "right" somehow. Very happy indeed.

1 STAR for performance - POOR PERFORMANCE - GREAT IDEA -
1 STAR for Performnace - 5 STARS for Concept. I bought one of these as a Christmas present for a family member. The concept is great but unfortunately it just does not perform e.g. - 1) screen locks on a regular basis; this getting worse as the days go by. 2) the internet connect is flakey at best; it fails to maintain a connection. I have already sent my product back, quite angry! about it as it was a present for someone else. At the price it should have been better. I admire Asus for their imagination but they do need to get their act together shapishly - customers and the market do not like products that get hyped and then fail; particularly if it suggests flaws in the development and production processes of an organisation. This product would make me question buying another product from Asus until they prove themselves. 1 STAR for Performnace - 5 STARS for Concept
