[TVwatcha01]

you have a very relaxing voice.

[superpimp180]

love your video's but im lost to which to get, what is a good tablet to get, i like the prime but people are having lots of problems with the wifi, and i want an android tablet, im just lost

[Rubenz343]

I would aprecciate if you made a review of the toshiba at-100

[codysandy93]

I actually just got my 32GB model in the mail, seriously less than 5 minutes ago, and already I'm in love. I watched a bunch of your tablet reviews and finally decided to buy this model over the Prime/ other tablets. It was only about $330 on Amazon. I'm glad I watched your review!

[bludluv246]

i want that soo bad but y do i i already have and ipad 2

[aaabbbccc15341]

my volume buttons also move a little plus its a little creeky on same side

[Andreicurteanu21]

Which is the first tablet that you compared the transformer with?

[SuperGreencore]

its really gooodbuy it all in one place right now

[amolzer]

Am I the only one who can hear the camera man breathing? 

[BboyElit3]

i bought my og transformer w/ dock for 667 last august. kinda feel ripped off now that i think of it.

[Teldara]

On the Power/Speaker buttons, does yours have some play into it? Mine feels wiggly and loose but "solid" at the same time. Has some play in it.

Just worried that I got a defective unit. Let me know!

[typhoons6sand]

yay just Got myself one and I love it

[senshura17]

let me just say that i really enjoy watching your reviews.. i mean i can really understand what your saying unlike others who seems like their speaking mandarin or sanskrit... ^_^ and im probably gonna buy asus transformer cause its the cheapest here in the philippines, its 22,000 pesos which is around 520 USD... sorry for my horrible english... ^_^

[MobileTechReview]

@senshura17 Thanks! Let us know how you like it! And please share our reviews with others. Thanks! :)

[TheLidalgo]

@senshura17 your english is fine

[Eddierockification]

iLove my Transformer and dock

[ghostfreakmsk]

Transformer or iPad 2 or galaxy tab 10.1

[jxmod]

[Zlofpgu]

can u put itunes music on this?

[iValkyrist]

hehe mw2 xD

[PAR3SIT3]

where is the usb port?

[rage8010]

Lol i just watched the review in 480p on my eee pad transformer!!!!!!!!!!

[CyTrumpet]

Hey, can you please do a review of the Le Pan TC 970? It look like a pretty good tablet, but i have not seen any professionally done reviews on it. It would be greatly appreciated.

[milleniumjosh]

I really need help. Im fifteen years old and I save enough oney to buy a tablet. I would like a recommendation on which tablet to buy. I am leaning on either the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 or the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. I am going to do a lot of video watching and game playing. I have never had a tablet before and I am really nervous that I wont get the right one.

[RattuTV]

@milleniumjosh get the Asus Transformer prime...the king of android tablet

[PeterPalfrei]

@milleniumjosh The Galaxy has a better screen than the Prime 1 but this one is cheaper and has an HDMI and micro or mini USB port as well as a micro SD slot, which can come pretty handy to transfer files, rooting and tethering.

If you live in North America or Europe and do not care for connectivity wait a couple of days and you'll be getting a Transformer Prime with a quad-core CPU and Super LCD plus display but no USB port.

Take a look at her Prime review & choose.

[zappysam5533]

Thank you soooooo much Lucy for this review. I bought it and I'm really happy so far. Keep it up :D

[airsoftkid97]

hehehe the temperature is 69 degrees :))

[lester4025]

one more thing, for the my desktop function did you say you have to be on the same wifi network? just wanna make sure i heard rite

[MobileTechReview]

@lester4025 No, you don't have to be on the same WiFi network, and it works over cellular data networks as well, 4G and 3G.

[Awesome12735]

@MobileTechReview can you download apps directly from the tablet?

[Awesome12735]

@lester4025 can you download apps directly from the tablet?

[lester4025]

ok could you drag games from your computer onto the tablet that arent from the android market or can you only use android games on the tablet?

also game sites that require flash, will they work on the tablet? thanks :)

[BramOfficial]

Hey everyone !!

Should i wait till the Eee pad transformer prime or isn't worth it to pay extra for it?

Thank you !

[devaunrashard]

can you control your tv with the Eee Pad is the question?

[Wlee1985]

Hey Lisa, are there any rubber grommets or anything to put in the keyboard dock holes ( I dont plan on using the keyboard)? Something to make it flush? This is gonna be for school use as I dont want to lug around a heavy laptop.

[yuzhuhiko]

what should I buy Transformer vs Galaxy 10.1 ....my country doesn't have Transformer prime yet.

[NERFxGUNS3223]

@yuzhuhiko hey you should get transformer

[yuzhuhiko]

@NERFxGUNS3223 thx man ~

[NERFxGUNS3223]

@yuzhuhiko welcum

[thisismeww]

where is the website?

[thisismeww]

opps, where is the website to download the desktop thing? I can't find it :(

[xxichigoxxx]

Bought one at best buy for 249 on black friday :)

[jdst197]

Really tempted to buy this just based on price over the transformer prime, but I guess I'll wait for the review and see if it's worth the extra cash or not.

[TheZekany]

Hey Lisa. I just realized that this was one of the reviews that convinced me to buy the transformer. Even better, I realized I bought that very tablet from you over craigslist. just wanted to let you know it still works great! keep up the great reviews!

[MobileTechReview]

@TheZekany Great to hear you're enjoying the tablet!! Thanks for letting me know. :)

[iritian]

Hey Lisa, i really enjoy watching your reviews, are you going to review the transformer prime?

[MobileTechReview]

@iritian Thanks! Yes, we are. Stay tuned.

[MyLifeAsNick13]

Do you think that this will receive an ICS update?

[ztoben76]

@MyLifeAsNick13 Yes, its supposed to around the same time that the prime does but probably slightly later.

[htcfanatic]

@andysurfer20 what were problems cuz I wanna buy it

[AnthonyVL24]

For all who are debating on the prime: From what it seems, If you want a 3G/4G service, wait for the prime. If your mainly going to use your tablet at home or through tethering via mobilehotspot, go with the transformer.

[AnthonyVL24]

Can you simply plug this into a windows computer and just drag and drop files, such as music and video?

[MobileTechReview]

@AnthonyVL24 Yes, it mounts as a mass storage when connected via USB.

[DrWatsonlol]

Hey, great review! I have one question though does it come with any kind of warranty form Asus? Thats the only thing I can think of that would stop me from buying this now! lol Thanx for your time!

[MobileTechReview]

@DrWatsonlol It's similar with notebooks, they usually come with a 1-year warranty.

[oasisbeyond]

You just sold me on this product with that pc stream feature... amazing.

[AnthonyVL24]

Originally ordered the Toshiba Tab, but decided to cancel the order and get this one instead based off of your review, and It ROCKS! so glad i decided to switch.

[guyvesproductions]

lol best movie ever bourne identity

[tommyereli]

@MobileTechReview I would like to sync music and photos

[MobileTechReview]

@tommyereli You can download a free Android file transfer utility from Google to drag files between the tablet and the Mac. Otherwise, use Google cloud.

[tommyereli]

@MobileTechReview Can you sync the tablet with a mac?

[MobileTechReview]

@tommyereli What kind of data/files you want to sync?

[unluckynumbersleven]

HAHA, "Fru Fru Shi Shi" You've made my day. I must say, all funny jargon aside, That you have by far the best reviews I have ever seen. I acually watch them when I'm bored, just becuase any other reviews would waste my time... Now to wait for the Transformer Prime... *sigh*

[MobileTechReview]

@unluckynumbersleven We will have it, stay tuned. 

[sniper1087]

Im still debating if I should get this tablet or the prime.

[Dbzhunt51]

I'm watching this to my eee pad transformer

[mksh17]

Good review! I am still not sure if i'll be getting this or the transformer prime but i am wondering, is the sound on the tablet good quality? Like for listening to music, music on youtube, or watching videos? I hear the volume is quite quiet but i want to know about the quality of the sound and the accurateness of it.

Thanks!

[MobileTechReview]

@mksh17 Audio quality through the speakers isn't impressive, but great via headphones.

[TehNoobzPwner]

@MobileTechReview Should I get this or wait for the prime?

[MobileTechReview]

@TehNoobzPwner The Transformer is cheaper, but if you want the latest and greatest, wait for our review of the Prime.

[kingcolecrazy]

I have a question. The Asus Transformer how it the display? Is is bright?

[AutoJunkieMan]

The asus transformer prime will have a subwoofer built in ?

[souasazzz]

this tablet will be $250 on best buy for black friday! ;)

[etattainments]

is this alright for drawing and design?

[EpiCQuickkie]

What does tainy mean?

[pajamaducky]

Great job on the review!!! You covered every detail if not almost every detail. This is by far the best review I have seen on tablets. You showed substantial areas of the Asus that made me happy for purchasing it. You went at the right pace and covered the aspects of the tablet really well.  I'm subscribing.

[MobileTechReview]

@pajamaducky Thank you! Glad you like the review!

[jahnxena]

can the asus epad open powerpoint files? if not which tablets can?

[MobileTechReview]

@jahnxena You can get Office suite apps for Android on the Android Market to work with Office files including PowerPoint files.

[vicodinev]

Nice review...you know I bought it based on your review and I like it alot! I am actually typing on it now :)And I am curios about what you do with all the tuff you have you could atually do giveaways :)

[MobileTechReview]

@vicodinev We actually don't own most of the stuff we review here unfortunately. Otherwise we'd love to.

[jamiethomasqwerty]

This vs the iconia 10.1. Who wins?

[Fletcherismine]

@jamiethomasqwerty I own the Iconia and my lil bro has the Eee Pad, Hands down, ill give the Eee pad the winner.

[kingcolecrazy]

I can't wait for your Asus Transformer Prime!!! When are you going to review it? I can't wait!!!

[MobileTechReview]

@kingcolecrazy Yes, stay tuned.

[kingcolecrazy]

@MobileTechReview Thanks! I love all your reviews.

[Zpik3]

Hey, I've been looking through your tablet reviews, and I have a question. I am a student that is tired of lugging around huge wads of papers to my lectures, and I am now looking for a solid tablet with pen-input capabilities for taking notes, writing comments in PDF-files and such nonsense.. I think that the EEE slate or the Lenovo android tab could wrok, but they seem a bit pricey.

Do you have any other recommendations that could "fit the bill"?

[MobileTechReview]

@Zpik3 Check out our review of the HTC Flyer. It has lots of note taking features in files like PDF, etc. Check it out.

[Zpik3]

@MobileTechReview Yeah I did like what I saw, except the 7" screen. This is way too small for any kind of serious notetaking. I'm not too keen on the HTC sense system either.. As i feel it will never reach the potential of apps that I need. I'm a masters degree student, so I'd like to be able to run some more serious functions on it as well... Oh well, I guess I'll just wait for the Lenovo tab to drop in price a bit.. =(

[Zpik3]

@MobileTechReview Oh, also! You have SUCH a soothing voice! =)

A few times in my life I have found people on tv or radio shows that have that magical voice that just makes me slip off into some kind of slumbering state that is incredibly relaxed.. You have such a voice. Could listen to it all day! ^^

[RAIDER40PRODUCTIONS]

Hi! What is your overall recommendation for a good tablet? Something around the price of this one.Like maybe the Lenovo ThinkPad, this, or something else? Thanks!!!

[MobileTechReview]

@RAIDER40PRODUCTIONS I'd wait a week and see what the new Asus Transformer Prime quad core is like.

[RAIDER40PRODUCTIONS]

@MobileTechReview Thanks! I don't mean to be a pest but do you have a guess as to how much it will be?

[MobileTechReview]

@RAIDER40PRODUCTIONS No pricing info yet, but you know Asus, they always try to be a little cheaper than the competition.

[deeindeein]

@jaradzoida No actually, its A-soos

[bradyiscool34]

I really like the reviews that you guys give! When the Transformer 2 comes out soon, I'll be waiting to see your review! (:

[vincentcold]

I only trust your review since you have solid knowledge about hardware stuff, and of course you have reviewed tons of products. Mad respect for you ! keep up good work !

[MobileTechReview]

@vincentcold Thanks :)

[livingonmyon]

thumbs up if you don't want to buy this but here only for Lisa awesome reviews :)

[quest8899]

love your reviews

[MobileTechReview]

@quest8899 Thank you!! Please help us share our reviews with friends and online!

[xWxiFlax]

when i saw MW2 i stopped watching ..

[aboulmorr]

this Asus...or XOOM ?

[6Chaset]

@aboulmorr the Asus, by far...

[jjoeshaw]

@aboulmorr asus

[ZedBazinga]

who else is with you?

I can hear them breathing...

[josephmegahee]

For christmas im wanting a tablet.... Which is the best for being rough but up to date on everything? Like the xoom? Asus? The new sony tablet? samsung gravity?

[xmtsystems]

Thank you for posting such an in-depth review. Subbed!

[Punkrocker22000]

Does Netflix and adobe flash work on the transformer

[rezzacool]

how easy is the set up for remote desktop? is there some sort of installation thats required? or would i be able to take this to a friends, and just sync it up with a computer there and use it?

[MobileTechReview]

@rezzacool Very easy to do. We discussed this in detail in our written review. Follow the link in the video description to read more.

[rezzacool]

does anyone know whats cheaper... this 32GB or this 16GB and buying SD card?

[thutama]

can you annotate PDFs on this?

[Alyxm]

Dear Mobile tech review, with the keyboard docks usb connections, can I plug in a portable hdd like the Toshiba thrives usb connection?

[Alyxm]

Dear Mobile tech review, can you play movie files through the my cloud service? and does the my cloud service run through wifi?

[savcob]

Get MOBO player and it will play any movie any format. Netflix also works like a charm over wifi..I did tether with Samsung Epic 4g from Sprint and also works as long as you have a good cell coverage.

[ArrGee1968]

It's got Bloothtooth! Yay.

[AR24912404]

i have an ipad 3

[nezoth]

Does it was a shortcut for Copy-Paste just like Windows? Ctrl C + Ctrl V?

[SkynetTeamDREADWING]

@nezoth Yes

but its easier to copy and paste when you have the keyboard

[rodrigog1519]

How real are the rumors that a new Transformer 2 is coming out in October? I would feel very frustrated if i get this one and a month later Asus releases the next gen... Thank you and very nice channel, subscribed already

[chad071981]

does it play .mkv files?

[PokefIurry]

Is it me or is the viewing angle not that great?

[Looppedd]

I was wondering if i downloaded a movie from my computer would i be able to transfer it over to the transformer?

can it run all types of movie files?

[MobileTechReview]

@Looppedd It plays MPEG4 movies. You can just copy them to the Transformer, yes.

[Alyxm]

@MobileTechReview does it not play any other movie file type? What about .mkv files?

[HalfLifeHalfDead]

@Looppedd with third party apps (moboplayer) it can play pretty much any video file out there, including 720p .mkv files (not 1080p though).

[Alyxm]

@Looppedd I saw someone playing movies through a different player playing .mkv files for hd usage, though they are sort of laggy, however vlc is making vlc for android! wooo!

[kfydl]

@Looppedd And with the MoboPlayer app you can almost play ANY format.

[jamaltohot04]

i have a lot of e books on my computer can i put them on the tablet

[SkynetTeamDREADWING]

@jamaltohot04

yes you can

[GreenDouche]

So I have a question. I know that this isnt capable of actually running high end games on its own, but using the MyCloud feature, could I use it to play game on my tablet while its actually running on my computer with no lag? I want to play some games that I cant get on Android and have them on my computer. I like the thought of playing the games with a touchscreen instead of with a mouse.

[MobileTechReview]

@GreenDouche Should be just fine as long as you have a fast WiFi network.

[GetPatriotized]

@GreenDouche How do you do that?

[DominicMason]

I bought three of the Asus Transformers. Taking one back after the other. Everyone of them suffered from Backlight Light bleed. They perform better than all the android tablets. But the build quality on these things absolutely suck.

[solve809]

@DominicMason thanks for the warning!

[EndlessElusion]

lets you control your desktop for FREE what sort of devil magic is this

[chickenman2]

@EndlessElusion you are funny man, sir.

[Thespilloftroy]

so would i be able to type an essay on some word client on this?

[MobileTechReview]

@Thespilloftroy Yes, you can use Polaris Office to create word files.

[Indecis10n]

Do you think this could be a laptop replacement? I have both a pc and a macbook pro atm and was wondering if this could replace my pro as a portable device.

[MobileTechReview]

@Indecis10n Not completely. The apps running on tablets are mostly mobile versions, and connectivity options are different from laptop machines.

[khans101]

can u watch movies from website in this tablet

[MobileTechReview]

@khans101 The tablet can stream Flash videos on web sites.

[QuirosErick]

Asus transformer is so cool

[bumbay18]

does this tablet include the "movie studio" editing app?

[MobileTechReview]

@bumbay18 Yes, it does.

[jdst197]

Great review, but I have a question. I am very interested in the transformer, but there are rumors that Asus is going to release a transformer 2 by October. Do you think it's worth the wait to get the newer model or not?

[matrix86]

@jdst197 I would wait and see what happens. The next transformer will have the new Kal-El quad core processor, but with that, you can most likely expect shorter battery life. But I would still wait. Not only will you see if it ends up being better, but if you end up not deciding it's worth it, this transformer may drop slightly in price. So it's a win-win situation, lol.

[MetroidSammich]

@matrix86 More cores = better battery life.

[matrix86]

@MetroidSammich yeah, after having done more research since my comment, I learned that more cores means processes get split up causing them to be completed faster, thus creating less time to complete the process as a whole, sending your phone into idle sooner.

[adzlan89ace]

just a question... what are the supportable video formats for this transformer? anyways... great review you have here! keep it up =)

[MobileTechReview]

@adzlan89ace The Gallery video player from Google plays MPEG4.

[Nostramoborn]

Your Lenovo got MW2 MP installed in it. Awesome.

[rottenroman]

Since you mentioned the ability to plug in a keyboard with the special adapter, does that mean the mouse would be built into the keyboard, or does it have the capability to use a conventional laser mouse too?

[MrJdruwe]

i have a question for u: if u buy it without the keyboard, will i be able to connect to my computer to transfer data or not?

[MobileTechReview]

@MrJdruwe Yes, you can connect to your computer via the charging/data/USB funtion port on the tablet.

[JoshuaCecilJohn]

this is an amazing device but i think the eee pad slider is slightly better

[Onix135]

im watching this on my new asus eee pad transformer

[Onix135]

listening

[gavl4rr]

Can you use a usb stick for memory expansion?

[MobileTechReview]

@gavl4rr Yes, we mentioned it in both video and written reviews.

[kevincfc07]

Thank you for asus eee pad transformer review.

I will buy it.
