  • tegra 3 - pro's very good graphics - Con's 25 games

    ipad 2 - pro's good graphics and 1000's tablet optimised of games - Con's are graphics are not as good as tegra 3

  • thats all good and all that you have good graphics on games but the problem with android is THERE ARE VERY FEW GAMES!! for a tablet!!!

  • really awesome review, ive seen many of the prime but only found out here that a controller can be used!! cant wait to get mine ASAP :D

  • this video made me horny!!!

  • the wifi and GPS are fine

  • @vaghoust u really don't know what u r talkong about i have a tetra 3. only a few bugs its great!

  • @darknight11ish I am talking about problems that I have with tegra 2 and probaly you don't or can't understand and yeah flash is important for me so tegra failed for once again,or else the isheep exist and in android!

  • well tegra is another iMarketing junk.Their drivers on the past tegra socs are BAD and now again those browser and flash problems again.As a tegra 2 victim on 2x with hundreds of bugs that even devs can not solve like updates or hardware acceleration or hd mkv playback,or laggs and more I warn you that tegra and this one two with the old 40 nm cpu have problems that nvidia don't care at all to solve except from selling 5 tegra games.You've been prepared and I am not the first one to say that...

  • @vaghoust 2X was first dual-core phone , even if it was not using tegra 2 it would have been buggy , let's be honest 2X is faster than S2 and Sensation in games , i think thats pretty good for the first dual-core phone...

  • @TheGrandTheftshit my friend lets be honest,you like gta and it took months since gta and many other good games to be ported on tegra 2 500 eurow are not only for 5 tegra games and I can barely use my default browser while gs2 plays smooth 1080p youtube and the heaviest sites with a UI that has no lagg on animated wallpapers and is way more stable than any tegra device I have seen,even more than this one.

  • @vaghoust My 2X dose exactlly the same and some even better since it finally got gingerbread , in games totally owns your S2 (no offence) , 2X is still among best phones on the market admit it. Im not saying there aren't better phones but 2X is just a very good phone...

  • @TheGrandTheftshit I own 2x too,and wish I had a gs2,words are words just type ''1080p YouTube Viewing On The Galaxy S II'' and ''ASUS Transformer Prime Browser Bug'' on youtube search,now try to do that smooth playback and pintch so smooth.After all I want a stable phone with good soc drivers for the developers and tegra failed me,that's why so many people got angry with lg because 2x never acted like a dual core phone except the games and demanded and got a useless update

  • @vaghoust S2 and all other dual-core phones dose not use the second core due to the fact that only android 4.0 has support to it , again your argument is invalid,And yes , i agree with the bad drivers nvidia used on tegra 2 , actually the only bad thing about them is that developers are not interested using them since nvdia never relased the soruce codes.They weren't bad after all they were just forgoten by nvidia....

  • @TheGrandTheftshit Ι wish for an improvment in isc,now the searches I told you are the fact of better experience of exynos,about nvidia go to their tegra developers site to see how many threads are opened and coplains only for the publishing of the tegra 2 drivers to cyanogen and all the other devs,they care only for 5 games and the manufacturesrs only follow spec market except samsung on gs2 and note that that offer even bluetooth mouse suport on external display browsing

  • Where can I buy this? It is sold out everywhere.

  • just do a google shopping search for asus transformer prime and you'll see

    @kingcolecrazy

  • @kingcolecrazy Amazon

    

  • @hmmm460 The tablet on Amazon is 100 more then retail, but they still have some on Office Depot. I just brought mine so excited!!!

  • I'm dying. I can't wait to get this :) only one more week :D

  • whoever has a transformer prime answer these questions for me please. Are u you guys experiencing any GPS problems?any WiFi problems, Bluetooth? What do you think of the tablet in general? Thank you...

  • @KevHnz3 no problems whatsoever. Overall it is by far the best tablet on the market today, iPad included =)

  • where do u find the game bladeslinger i can't find it anywhere

  • Steam should come out for Android.

  • This is something I have always been wondering, can you connect an external HDD to an android tablet and then view the photos/videos on the HDD through the tablet?

  • @DarkKnight896 its possible, with the standard file management installed its easy to open the files ont the external diskdrive

  • how did you get the beta for those games

  • can it play fallout 3?

    

  • its like the iphone parody , when the guy says its the same phone...lmao

  • dont be fooled people these games looke the same on tegra 2, this is just a marketing tool to get you to buy... do your research people.

  • Dear Santa...

    (LOL 11 month left)

  • i still play snake on nokia 5110... don't need 3d or x core cpus.. ;)

  • At this point why not just get a laptop?

  • hi guys, I ve ordered a tf201, but im concerned with the wifi connection. Has this been fixed with the launch of Ice cream sandwich?

  • So are these additional features on the games for tegra 3 devices only????

  • 2:56 LOL NOOB!!

  • Comment removed

  • you have to have the $150 keyboard to use any of them

  • @JakeAndrewBullard These games? No you don't. The controller? No, you don't. The Transformer Prime has one Mini USB 2 port on the tablet.

  • @zembryoz i was talking about the controllers, xbox is the only one that has built in wireless support it was a reply to the comment below me

  • @JakeAndrewBullard And I'm telling you you're wrong. The XBOX 360 wireless controller doesn't work in this tablet in any form so far (maybe asus will offer support for PC Windows USB transceiver in future, but for now, no). Most other wired controllers just work out of the box as long you have a USB to Mini-USB cable or converter and even some more advanced Bluetooth wireless controllers work too, like the PS3 Sixaxis. None of them require the keyboard attachment to work.

  • @zembryoz , you moron, you need to buy the pc xbox controller you cant just use anyone, same with the ps3

  • @SuperConormcg You do not need to buy the 'pc xbox controller', many of the videos show them using a wireless or a wired Logitech controller with the Transformer AND this device supports quite a few different controllers INCLUDING a bluetooth PS3 Sixaxis. Call me names mate but you're the real moron here. You don't even know enough to be a danger to yourself.

  • What's the game's names ?

  • Great job guys. Would a wireless ps2 controller work with this?

  • iS It an Autobot?

  • HOILY SHITTT!!!!

  • Now that the hardware is there, we just need to wait for the games to NOT SUCK. All the mobile games look nice, but have absolutely terrible gameplay. You might say "wait, shadowgun was awesome!". But imagine if that game were released instead of gears of war on the 360. It would have bombed hard, because the gameplay is awful and repetitive. Now that we have console quality graphics, we should be getting console quality gaming, not cheap rip-offs...

  • @androidandme Is Tegra 3 for Tablets, or will there be Tegra-3 for Mobile Smartphones?

  • @AiDz0r There will be also Tegra 3 Smartphones, Fujitsu actually showed off one: Search for: fujitsu shows off the worlds first tegra 3 quad-core phone on Google (can't post links???)

    @androidandme In the video you showed/told some Gameloft games weren't compatible with Tegre 3 yet. But as the video dates from 30 November: Is it compatible now?

  • Is Android Market still there?

  • @TheSangello yes

  • Apple can burn I can't download the movies or songs I purchased so they suck android gives me that crap free

  • Does it support xbox360 controllers?

  • @TheN0o0o0B Tegra Zone games are compatible with wireless controllers...

  • @TheN0o0o0B yes

  • @TheN0o0o0B no probably not since it uses that controller through bluetooth

  • @JoJoRockets52 wireless controllers work..

  • @walker1054 i don't think most tablets support Microsoft wireless controllers

  • @TheN0o0o0B yes.

  • can i play league of legends on this?

  • can you use the kebord dock for games?

  • I was looking for this for months, but now I'm almost sure I won't buy this crap - at first I learned it wouldn't come out with the ICS (update is planned for "near" future, so ...), then I learned it had only one USB on the dock and no 3G. Then the constant postponing of the release date (I still don't know when or if it comes to my area), rumors about the problems with the WiFi and GPS and the performance issues while browsing. And the last drop - the bootloader is encrypted:( Screw it.

  • @wladius The official date for 4.0 update is the 12th of January so it's not too far away. They are allowing an unlock for the encrypted boot loader for those who wish to load custom ROM's but it will void your warranty. Performance issues with browsing will still lie in the fact that 3.2 Honeycomb browser is still only optimized for 2 cores. Once the ICS update hits it on the 12th I would expect improvements all around. That's when I feel people should make their final judgments.

  • my galaxy s2 is fast but this thing is BEAST!!

  • Anyone know if this is Resistive or a Capacitive screen?

  • @Vontood Capacitive ofc..

  • Does anyone know if you can use any USB controller with the transformer? Looking to get some SNES emulators and wonder what'll work. Thanks in advance!

  • @esman7 yes u can use the PS3 controller with most SNES Emulators

  • @esman7 im pretty sure you could use any usb controller with this thing

  • @esman7 Yes you can use wireless and wired controllers with the prime.

  • @esman7 You can use both a xbox 360 controller or a ps3 controller, but I think the 360 controller is the only one you can you use without a cable.

  • @esman7 i have the prime to and they have stick on controller that goes on your screen and they said it supports it

  • @esman7 you can use ps3 controller of wii more. ive had no luck with xbox one :<

  • @esman7 Yes, you can.

  • @esman7 Guess you've already got loads of replies, but yes you should be able to do that :)

  • The controler thing, i came!

  • @androidandme Can Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 support Tegra 3 games? Because I have all tegra 2 games already and it runs smoothly, will the 4.0 Ice cream sandwich help Samsung Galaxy Tab's performance?

  • @wenzlinon29 Dont quote me on this but I dont think the galaxy can support tegra 3 games.

  • Does the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-GR 10.1-Inch have Bluetooth capabilities to link to say a plantations Bluetooth? Can you hook up the USB hub to use xbox 360 controllers?

  • @Vontood Yes, it has all of that

  • thnk you

  • Would be nice if you could use a usb mouse for the shooters

  • how do you use the logitech controller with it do you have to plug something into the prime or how does it sync up?

  • @kissmyass007 i think it uses bluetooth, so there's no need for any adaptors... i don't know for this particular logitech controller, but the PS3/Wii controller uses it so it just sync over the bluetooth connection

  • oh yeah lol can i get this today?or do i have to wate for a release date?kinda confused on this part.....thnks

  • i am going to put 2 of these on pre order in 4 days =)...........PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME IF DRAG RACING IS IN THE ANDROID MARKET FOR THIS TABLET?it be much , much appreciated if you could get back with me if this game is available for asus prime.....thnks GREAT VIDEO TO.....

  • @thelongeye1 android market has it ( Drag Racing )

  • @excelx213 thnk you....where can i get one of these?or do i have to wate i see the 64 gig transformer on amazon the new quad core one to be specific.can i buy it there at amazon TODAY?thnks

  • @thelongeye1 keep an eye and be ready to buy one 12/27/2011 at newegg.com so be ready and fast lol

    amazon will have this tablet by next year like the 24 or 27th of january.

  • the only reason im not gonna get this now is because it doesnt have 3G capabilities. the hardware and software are so good, its such a shame that it doesnt have 3G! its reeeeaaallly a deal breaker for me.

  • @pach1100 have a phone with mobile hotspot capabilities? that solves everything and saves you some money

  • Cannot wait for this, finally a tablet that is worth the money!

  • Am buying this

  • the only game missing is infinity blade :(

  • hi, can you tell me which version of NFS you just played? or where can i download it?

  • I wonder if iPad3 will do better than this beast.

  • Did anyone who ordered get it yet? It sucks because it's been sold out for awhile and many pre-orders got cancelled.

  • @videogamebeater nope, tigerdirect canceled my order =[

    you can pre-order it at amazon but you won't get it this month, have to wait until january 24

    sucks big time! because by the time it gets here there will be other quad core tablets with more ram from other competitors.

  • Comment removed

  • @videogamebeater they are offering free one day shipping for all products you buy before chrstmas but as for the asus prime you will have to wait 4-7weeks. I don't think the retailers know what is going on with asus... hehe only a few will be receiving asus prime tablet this x-mas

  • @excelx213 Oh well.. :(

  • @videogamebeater have you seen the price for asus prime at ebay? lol i really want ( for me not to resell it lol ) people selling 32gig version for 700-800 dollars lol

    bastards!

  • @excelx213 I know! The highest price I've seen was like $900. I want one so bad!

  • @excelx213 What a massive disappointment. So much excitement built up for my first ever tablet this holiday, and now I have to wait at least another month. :(

  • @videogamebeater yes i know, it really suck!

    this is how i feel right now.... watch?v=VzXfSSVmx2I

  • holyyy shit i want this

  • what store can you get this b4 xmas ?

  • when is the tranformer optimus prime coming out :)

  • Aww, I'm out of iPads to wipe my ass with.

  • @LTSwagTV I wanted to buy it but instead my parents bought me an ipad2 :( which i didnt tell them i hate it since they bought it.

  • I just grabbed my tf while watching this video and saw gta 3, HOLY shit, noice,

  • @RAWRAWRWAR This guy is full of it.

  • @jdolson17 gta 3 is in th tegra zone

  • @LTSwagTV I wish i could get it but i got an ipad2 instead :(

  • Ipad2 or transformer prime

  • you got to do a Onlive test in your next video man my wife just bought me this and i saw her warping it for the xmas tree im freaking excited man im a blow up lol

  • 3d afed lol

  • What about the OS vs the old one? And you should ask them to update the Ice cream sandwich so you can install show us. And will Ice cream support quad core better?

  • can i plug the normal joystick into usb and play games

  • it has geforce

  • Just AWESOME!!!! The mere fact that it will be the first of its kind there will be more support for it then any other potential quadcores down the pipeline. That also includes MORE SOFTWARE as well;o)

  • The gaming performance looks great, I may have to to save up for one in the next year or so. The keyboard and design is a major selling point, you can tell they really crafted It with the intent to differenciate themselves from other tablets that are currently around and ones that will come.

  • i'm getting it 4 Christmas :)

  • I wish it shipped ICS, not that I can't wait for the update, but retards using that as an argument to that this is slower and crappy. ICS will make this a lot smoother and faster.

  • I just sold my iPad 2 two weeks ago, going to get this baby! :D

  • @borislemke GOOD JOB!!!!

  • @borislemke why u don't wait for ipad 3? i think ipad 3 gonna be better than transformer prime. IPAD 3 BETTER SCREEN AND RESOLUTION. A6 quad processor and new shit...

  • @panthersww

    'cus the iPad still sucks with it's OS

  • Benchmarks mean nothing when will people learn its all about performance since there are factors when running test like that also its not helping that its running honeycomb

  • quad core and still got outbenchmarked by a dual core A5 tsk tsk

  • onlive plus this is win.

    imagine playing skyrim on your transformer prime or MW3 OR star craft2 onlive works on my galaxy phone why not this?

  • to all ya'll stop comparing this gadget to a pc, psp, xbox or what ever shit that comes into your mind! maybe you should try comparing it to and ipad, or a galaxy tab coz i know for sure this is the best tablet out right now, running android 4.0 ice cream sandwich and has a quadcore processor plus an nvidia graphics card! now for a tablet pc, its lightning fast and has a decent display so stop whining and try to appreciate this masterpiece!

  • Galaxy tab sucks it's just a fake version of iPad

  • I want one, but i want to see what samsung has in store for the next Tegra 3 Galaxy Tab. But then again... I don't' want to wait until april

  • just pre orderd the bundle from gamestop

  • This will not run crysis -_-..... And what is up with people saying about the screen looks nice? A 24 inch 2560x1600 monitor looks way better than this.

  • @halo56822 its 10 inches, thats why it looks nice

  • @halo56822 :/...... come on now! I own a big fancy gaming rig but this thing is pretty pretty

  • @halo56822

    And it has a HDMI port so you can hook it up to your TV.

    What ever you can do we can do better. :P

  • @mshartz5 cant dual monitor :P

  • @halo56822

    I have with mine remote style. BOOYAH!

  • iPad 4 doesn't even stand a chance

  • My brick:

    TOSHIBA Satellite L650-11E

    Core i3 330M 2.13GHz

    ATI Radeon HD 5145 512MB

    4 GB RAM

    I'm starting to think I will sell this junk to get me an Asus Prime.

  • You're rght. The Aandtech review showed that iPad 2 is indeed more powerful than the Prime.

    I don't even know how but it is O.O

  • @GetPatriotized

    i hear ipad 2 has a dual core 800mhz processor, how does that beat a 1300mhz quad core processor plus one companion core at 500mhz. how can ipad 2 beat that? some games may look better, but thats probably because its easier to create good looking games for ipad 2 as the developer does not need to worry about compatibility with different models as there is just one ipad 2, but tons of android tablets

  • @TheNinwii ipad beats transformer cuz it has an apple logo on the back nuff said

  • @Foompers And yet, you've been checking out quite a few Prime videos lately ;-)

    Yes, there are a few dozen games that look noticeably better than anything on the iPad, but the iPad does still have the better selection of games. I think this is likely to change over the next year with the release of ICS though.

    And despite what fanboys will claim, games is really the only area where Market lags iTunes. Every app on my ipad has an app on my Galaxy Tab, or another that does the same thing.

  • @PuppyProwd im planning on getting a tablet soon so im checking out the best from both sides hence all the prime vids :) im not saying the ipad is superior to the prime or vice versa but when i see fandroid elitists talking smack i gotta put them in their place

  • @GetPatriotized No, actually it's not. Most benchmarks were in favor of the prime. iPad 2 just had better fps in some games. If you've ever played pc games, lower resolutions always get faster frames... and the iPad 2 is not even an hd screen... so of course it's going to get higher frames per sec than the same game run on at an hd resolution.

    What's more important is that the games being made specifically for Tegra 3 have graphics effects that simply cannot be done on an iPad 2.

  • @PuppyProwd Yes I realize that but those are small differences compared to the iPad 2.

    I want to see a game that takes full advantage of the Tegra 3 and leapfrogs A5.

  • @GetPatriotized Umm, actually the difference is not that small. I definitely agree that I'd like to see apps and games optimized for quad core performance... but since quad core tablets technically don't exist yet, it'll take a couple of mths.

    We've moved from dual core processing to quad core... the A5 has BEEN leapfrogged! Lol. In terms of performance, the A5 was already being outmatched by the Tegra 2 in gaming. So as far as chips go... yea, this is a pretty big deal. Cool if not for u tho.

  • @PuppyProwd Like I said,without software,hardware is pointless.

  • Give me a game that

    -leapfrogs over A5

    -takes full advantage of Tegra 3

    Then I will pick one up,til then I'll stick with my iPad 2. Amazing tablet though.

  • i used to use an ipad then i took a transformer prime to the knee

  • preordered mine i am a best buy employee and best buy will not be getting them instores untill january 1st now

  • very smooth, i love Transformer Prime

    

  • are you kidding me this thing is probly more powerful than my laptop. i cant wait to get it!!

  • Dont forget emulators ranging from Atari over SNES and Geseis up to PS1 and N64, of course all playable with real gamepad input. I'm soo gonna play ocarina of time on this thing :))

  • Tegra 3's GPU is worse than in ipad 2, read the Anandtech review.

  • @uwndrd link please :)

  • i HATE apple with a :)

  • I was wondering if you could make a video showing the Transformer Prime running an app like gotomypc or logmein ignition.

  • man my laptop is all laggy by just watching this vid! it cant handle the awesomeness of this tablet!

  • Was thinking of getting iPad2 this holiday season, but this is worlds more useful! Thank you androidandme.

  • Hiw do u install a playstation 3 controller on this thing?

  • This emphasis on gaming will probably keep the resolution of Tegra3 tablets down, so that the graphics chip can actually render in time. For those of us interested in tablets primarily for reading, this will point toward the Retina display iPad 3. :(

  • @tofucyborg Actually the Tegra 3 chip can render 2048x1536 fluidly already... whereas retina display on an ipad size screen simply doesn't exist ;-). If anything, the problem is that Tegra 3 is not likely to be the flagship chip this time... Samsung has similar tech in the works for an ultrahd tablet display, hopefully matched w/ their superAmoled screens. Either way, it's being done first and being done better on Android.
