ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime: First Time Power Up

[lptgators]

@techHarvest, what do you think of the Asus Prime? I am thinking about getting one but dont know.

[112233mode]

is the asus company gonna release 3G VERSION of this device ???

[TechHarvest]

@112233mode I have not heard anything about a 3G or 4G device.

[112233mode]

@TechHarvest how come a very good device not available as 3g version!!!!!!!!!??????????????

it is really teasing :@

thank u for answering the question :) ;)

[TechHarvest]

@112233mode Personally it's not an issue for me but I can understand how some people want it.

[spellshocker]

@techharvest i just got my prime but it won't open but when it fires up it vibrates but the screen is blank and i have charged it for a while (2 hrs)

[TechHarvest]

@spellshocker If you can't get the screen to work you might have to return it.

I pronounce it Ay-Sus as well! :D

[Gregz0r1]

You're one of the few people to pronounce Asus correctly.

It's so not 'Ay-soose'.

[NubsAhoy]

@Gregz0r1 Its actually "ay-soos". Asus has a video on their channel showing how to pronounce it.

[TechHarvest]

@NubsAhoy They changed the official way to say it. It used to be in all of their promotional materials they called it Ay-Soos. Then about 6 months ago, they posted a video of a woman explaining the pronunciation of the company name calling it Ay-Sus (you can look it up). The name comes from the word Pegasus. Years ago the company split. One half became Pegatron and the other half became ASUS.

I really want to see flash performance on this quad core tablet. On dual core honeycomb tablets, flash is horrible. It plays fine, but once you scroll in the web browser or zoom in and out, it is sluggish. HP touchpad works much better.

[untapatio1]

i was looking them up on amazon and saw a bunch of different types

[sjmslik]

learn how to pronounce AsUs

[freddieman23]

iPad is better

[DannydXL]

@freddieman23 oh man... just gtfo...now.

[diablo29]

Don't you mean 'Ah-soos'? ;-)

[craigdamico1]

Very Cool

..& it will be even cooler when someone figures out how to put WebOS on it to take full advantage of its Multi-Tasking Quad-Core Capabilities..

- sooo, how many separate youtube videos could i download/play simultaneously on it ?

..my HP TouchPad can do about 8 simultaneously :-)

[TechHarvest]

@craigdamico1 I'm pretty sure just one. 

[Bredadarts]

@TechHarvest

are you kdding me? can this wonderful device not open 2 youtube pages at once? I always use 1 for music and the other page to search for next song.

I dont understand, it should be possible quite easy i think.

[TechHarvest]

@Bredadarts It's a limitation of Android, not the hardware.

[NatalieeRaine]

CK Zombies !! Love it

[TechHarvest]

@NatalieeRaine LOL. Yeah I'm at the point where my guns need to be more powerful, but I don't want to buy any in game money with my real money :D

[peterlowe32]

cousin has one and i love it!!!!!the original transformer

[Stroke007]

Perfect!

[braza08]

Could to play a MKV movie file? Thanks

[MinDControlDx]

@braza08 Yes

[techuniverse1]

This or Samsung Galxay Tab 10.1?

[OnlyXfox]

@techuniverse1 I would go for this, actually! Mostly because of the keyboard and the epic cpu!

[untapatio1]

@techuniverse1 this

[TechHarvest]

@techuniverse1 I personally went with the Transformer because of the Quad Core CPU.

[don198769]

I really like your videos but dislike three fact that you read the google stuff during setup. I'm not trying to be offensive but I do find it annoying as the high majority have read it on their own. But thank you for the otherwise great reviews. Can't wait to see more on this tab.

[asus3571]

battery is gonna suck

[hellsjester31]

@asus3571 Actually that's not the case. Due to the fifth companion core you get a good battery life between 9 to 10 hours of heavy usage ( look at jon4lakers videos of the prime)

[asus3571]

@hellsjester31 fifth companion core? what is that but you think being quads from desktops and the like drawing so much power it would be a batt killer

[hellsjester31]

@asus3571 that companion core does task with low computing requirements like browsing . the main cores kick in for gaming and such

[PauloMaia1998]

First! :P
