CNET Prizefight: Acer Iconia Tab vs. Asus Eee Pad Transformer

[superboy1170]

Дибилы,ipad и acer в 3 раза хуже чем asus!

[HiTikShow]

if your going to get a tablet you should wait for iPad 3 or just get the best tablet in my opinion the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime it got Quad Core for Gods sake its awesome

[scadish1234]

Fuck both of them iPad 2 all the way....

[DBSpy1]

They all cost to much still and none of them are good yet.

[killerduckification]

I think the transformer will cut a bigger lead , since its going to get the ICS update

[Eddierockification]

I love my Transformer and dock best thing ever

[apolanco602]

acer is 350 bucks at walmart and the asus is 400 bucks

[solodubz001]

ASUS EEE PAD TRANSFORMER IS THE BEST WOOP WOOP

[Unkn0wnAndrew]

Acre sucks!!! Asus is much better in every aspect

[gtd3692]

fuck cnet i used both asus trans suck fat cock compared to the acer

[StreetFighterJoe]

Acer iconia is 3x better than asus trans

[garethnel]

iv had both , took the iconia back in exchange for the transformer and the transformers performance smokes the iconia , both awesome tablets overall though

[BlackManInYourToilet]

i wanted a asus tranformer but my dad ordered me an iconia and i think its just as good. i think either product is good its just what you prefer

[Cubits1]

@dxproductions100 The eeepad dock also has a full sd card slot AND an extra battery inside which takes the video watching battery life up to 14-odd hours. It also recharges the eeepad at the dock's expense, so when you decouple them the tablet is always fully charged. It's tremendous value!

[347JRD]

Got the Asus Eee Pad for the my wife simple loves it !!!!

[vijayasekars]

I bought Acer Iconia from Walmart for $400 with $100 Gift Coupon which makes it $300 and enough money to buy a Bluetooth Keyboard and and external Hard disk. :)

Acer Iconia wins hands down over any tablet with this deal :D

[Wontonwabledoo]

I bought the iconia brand new for $340 free shipping on eBay buy it now, not auction, plus in store both of them are $399. The keyboard for the transformer is an extra $150

[mehmetberkayz54]

Thanks I'll buy transformer and Round 7 transformer is cheaper

[presuntox20]

03:45 Pedobear lol

[knightstar73]

This is unfair you compared the internet experience with Acer and Asus with a keyboard. Of course the Asus would be cheaper because there is no flash in the camera, no USB for hardrive access it has lesser pixels in the front camera. i have an acer iconia and its awsome to me. went to best buy to play around with the asus and i thank god i have the iconia.

[kblood82]

Seems to me that in the performance round they forgot to mention how the dock adds at least 4 hours of battery, since it has a second battery in it. Asus claims it can run for 9 hours as a eee pad but 16 hours with the dock attached. So they should have added the, "but look, a dock! TF wins again." :)

[lightpen100]

that erick guy looks like laurence fishburn

[GrahamCrackers94]

Both beat the shit out of the iPad 2. I'm watching this on an iPad 2 with a fair/good wifi signal, and it took me literally 15 minutes to watch this. By the way, I'm all for the Transformer. Love the available keyboard dock.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

My firs Asus had the same issue but my second is great.No problems. i just made a cradle for my wiimote fighter stick to play all the retro and fighting on my tablet using the controller.

[mazenasal]

I watched this using the iconia tab

[botsok3skelion]

I would go Samsung Tab LOL!

[suaveeze]

They're both good products. Even though. The Acer has more ports all that matters oz that both can do HDMI. And both can have adapters for keyboards r just USB connection. I played with both at best buy and the Asus oz more smoother and more responsive online... and the Acer looks like its screen oz washed up looks bad to the crisp of the Asus flash on a tablet dosnt make a difference. At all both cams. R horrible lol

[boriquapower]

Umm EEE Pad keyboard dock is not included in the overall price.

[iWantSomeBeef]

Are you kidding me? The Iconia has SO much more value for an extra $50

[no3l86]

i think they are both pretty good products. but thats just me

[Hippoman141]

i thought you were comparing them as tablets -.- 3:19

[Hippoman141]

i have the a500 and its light as hell. 1.6 lbs isnt anything, to me its as heavy as like a filled water bottle

[0212030]

fuck i been waiting for my preorder transformer for a month, availability is important

[kak672]

@0212030 Well now that all the people who really really really want the transformer are done buying there's, there are way more available.

[lored96]

IPAD!



[chris2pher93]

The Iconia is the cheapest tablet in Australia, the Transformer is tied with the iPad 2 & the Xoom is retailing for a pretty damn ridiculous price considering that it's the least of any of these tablets.

[thangpham]

Tranformer build quality is shit

[charlesrollon]

This is unfair you compared the internet experience with Acer and Asus with a keyboard. Duhhhh. Of course the keyboard would give a plus. Of course the Asus would be cheaper because there is no flash in the camera, no USB for hardrive access it has lesser pixels in the front camera. Biaseddddddddddd! The guy is irritating.

[daverod74]

Asus has an IPS screen, Acer does not. Very surprised this wasn't addressed.

[mutepg58]

its amazing how many "professional" reviewers continue to mispronounce Asus even though the company themselves put out a video correctlng all the bad American advertisements that pronounce it wrong.

[Digikid2007]

@mutepg58 It IS A-sis.....NOT a-soos. Get used to it.

[drawsdakcab]

@Digikid2007 Incorrect, it is NOT A-sis,

[mutepg58]

@Digikid2007 thats exactly what I said. I don't have to get used to it because that's what I've always said. The guy in the video pronounces it wong. Techcrunch and CNET reviewers say it wrong ALLLLL the time, they themselves even posted a ASUS rep saying it correctly to address it, but they continue to say it wrong. It's the obnoxious thing ever.

[noodi5555]

which one has the best screen brightness and colors wight is no matter to me and which one has a sim card

[justiceiscoming]

@noodi5555 I've heard very good things about the Transformer's screen. The Iconia is said to have a screen quality on par with the Motorola Xoom, which is, in turn, said to be worse than the Transformer's.

youtube(.)com/watch?v=KUm6D9cV­uRQ

[ViggeN0906]

I don't think people value the connectivity of a USB as much as they should. Having a USB port is soooooooo convenient. Having to shell out another $150 for a damn keyboard just to get the USB port is ridiculous. Minding that downloading the thumb keyboard is actually better too. Stupid/bias review.

[peterasimpson]

Hello,

I have purchased both of these tablets. Except for my Asus TF101 keyboard dock with extra battery capacity, it it nowhere near as smooth or snappy as my Acer A500. Yes my Asus dock is a great feature, but I find except for that, the quality is not as nice as my Acer. The Asus it lighter though and does have the built in screen shot facility :-) They are both great tablets but my favorite is my Acer by far. The media playback is also better on my Acer than on my Asus.

[shutout624]

cnet is pretty bad in terms of having an opinion. by that i mean i hate them and dont trust trust what they say.

[TechnologyLover4422]

@shutout624 then y did u watch dis?

[arkanhadi]

Nice way of comparing, very fun :) please do more!!!

[UberMan5000]

That Asus Eee Pad Transformer looks like my kinda tablet! Gorgeous screen, expandable memory, solid construction, it can be a laptop if I really want, and you can't beat that price. Hot stuff, Asus!

[6packabb]

Which one is best for media playback, like .avi, .mkv fomats?

[AndrewGeeWanda]

As usual, a fantastic Prizefight.

Concentrating on the main points but not patronising the audience.

Anyone have any in depth info on the graphics cards these computers use.

[UberMan5000]

@AndrewGeeWanda Both tablets have an nVidia Tegra 2 chip, which is a combination graphics processor and dual-core ARM processor. The chip contains a GeForce ULP (Ultra-Low Power) graphics chip that can output 1080p video and 3D OpenGL graphics.

[AndrewGeeWanda]

@UberMan5000

Thank you, the info is much appreciated.

[grub685]

The Transformer loses to the Iconia in availability = p

[mrblack747]

so who get 5/5 ?? how the 3.7 score came up?

[juschill7]

luv the price fight guys!

[piez07]

1:06 wtf LOL

[cpc5000]

I was trying to figure out how the iPad was going to win a prize fight it wasn't in, then he does it at 3: 50.

[telj1]

Damn... if only the Transformer has all the out in options. I'm still gonna wait a few months before a putt out my cash until the complete one i dig is available.

[IRejectUrReality]

I was lucky enough to get a transformer but after playing with the iconia the asus "feels" cheap(er) when it comes to build quality. Still prefer it though, but I think I should have waited on the 10" tablet coming from HTC

[IRejectUrReality]

To all the crApple fanbois, Just cause you idiots ho out and buy the same devices over and over doesnt make them better. Thats like saying the Wii can compete with the PS3 or 360. Or a Camry is better than a Ferrari. More sales doent equal a better product just better marketing

[joggymac]

yay I love Asus!

[farres1]

@CityFlashLights no it doesn't

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

They missed the most important thing. The Asus has an IPS screen the same kind used on the ipad 2 and Acer does not...do ur homework u guys. That makes a big difference in viewing angle. I was one of the lucky one to get the Asus tablet and dock cause it's scarce.

[Heythumb88]

@DJTEVAdotCOM the asus screen has horrible backlight bleeding issues, Im on my second tablet today and thinking of moving on to the acer

[1986capy]

touch her booty ~~~

[jonh1171995]

best tablet is the W500

[zodiac832]

rwj 1:17 

[eskimochild87]

i love asus! but id never buy a tablet i hve my evo shift which does basically everything tablets do

[beiglca]

there is an app for that....

[BreadForButter]

winner = ipad

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

@BreadForButter can ipad plays nes, snes, genesis, gba, and playstation??? don't think so. oh wait ...u have to jailbreak it.

[BreadForButter]

@DJTEVAdotCOM your saying that like its a bad thing, jailbreaking takes less than 30 seconds and doesnt disadvantage your device in any way.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

@BreadForButter no its not a bad thing but u can't upgrade the ipad to a new version until a new jailbreak patch it. People are still waiting for the ipad 2 jailbreak. Apple is making harder for the hacker.

[BreadForButter]

@DJTEVAdotCOM it will always be a cat and mouse game but they always seem to do it. Also there is a big market for ipad/iphones and ipads to run 3rd party hacks and software due to the popularity of these devices so they eventually come through. They have also expanded the devices capabilities far beyond what the manufacturer intended however the market isn't as big for android. To be honest there wasn't even much of a market for tablets until Apple brought out the ipad.

[HenryMonmouth]

We need more Tong on the tube.

[subterracollecter]

transformer vs xoom

[CityFlashLights]

@subterracollecter transformer is the obvious winner

[mrgoldenblog]

1:16 ray in the top left corner :D:D

[ecartman12]

@mrgoldenblog What do you mean ray in the top left corner?

[mrgoldenblog]

@ecartman12  RayWilliamJohnson's video‏ :D

[kaydub403]

...wow. acer has a beast camera, picture, style, n more ports. so which one would b da obvious better look...hmmm.. Acer!! In my book.

[CityFlashLights]

@kaydub403 the screen on the acer is not that great. asus has an amazing IPS screen

[thangpham]

@CityFlashLights Wrong, screen look the same to me, Tranfromer got crappy build quality

[CityFlashLights]

@thangpham shut up and stop talking with your mouth and use your brain. The Iconia has a normal LCD display. Transformer has IPS (In-Plane Switching technology). An LCD screen type that greatly increases viewing angles and color reproduction. compare an iPhone 4 screen to a motorola droid screen.

[youbeat2008]

Yeah... Go Transformer!

[haty01]

1:07 holyshit!

[LALOMAN18]

The screens on both of these are amazing, super HD clear screens running at WXGA resolution.... oh and like he said... Acer is too heavy at 1.6lbs... hahaha... bitch ass lazy fucks, is less than 2 pounds too heavy to hold in a hand..."2 fucking lbs..!' what the fuck do ya want, a feather shit tablet so you won't be able to force to move your fat finger lazy ass hand to use the tablet? my gaming laptop is 9.2lbs. and I don't bitch about it! it kicks ass... hahaha... 1.6lbs too heavy! bullshit!

[DeltaPhi79]

@LALOMAN18 You don't understand anything about tablet weight. We're comparing TABLETS to TABLETS, not laptops. 1.6 pounds for a tablet IS heavy.

[CityFlashLights]

@LALOMAN18 screens dont RUN at resolutions dumbass. They HAVE resolutions.

[LALOMAN18]

Wait... the gayPad 2 got a 4.+ review with less gay ass under power features, and these 2 bad ass jam packed tablets made by the same company Asus got an under 4.0 review? This guy is full of shit and its clearly that he is an Apple cock sucker!

[DeltaPhi79]

@LALOMAN18 Or maybe it's because he actually thinks about the tablet as a whole rather than just the specs, AND that the iPad 2 came out BEFORE these.

[jamiedoer2]

Round 3: "Blah, blah, blah.. Connections! Blah, blah, blah.. Transformer is lacking. But look, a dock! LOL, JK. We're only judging them as tablets."

Round 4: "Blah, blah, blah.. Web browsing! Blah, blah, blah.. Crappy camera.. But, look a dock! Tie!"

[tbor1277]

@jamiedoer2 yeah man. and they also gave round 5 to asus. $400 w/o the dock so its cheaper. comparing them as tablets, acer is better with ports. asus needs the dock to excel.

[Ferrarie100]

2:49 PAC DIV

[ku42]

The ipad 2 wasnt in the fight but it still won

[fahmiananda]

And The Winner Is >>>>>> iPad 2!!! yEah!!

[cflores860]

xoom

[tjpark1111]

it's pronounced A-sus. not uh-soos.

[khunopie]

Brian Tong is looking more and more like Mr. T

[sevless]

whatch now alienware is going to make a fucking table at like 2000 for the lowest model

[EdouardDubois]

That keyboard attachment feels like a fad but... I do see that as being the future of laptop computers. 

[kj21feb94]

It's Acer versus Asus and the Winner is Apple...

[johnchen0213]

both from taiwan :D

[devo229]

just got the iconia today, I wanted a transformer but got tired of waiting for one Asus really dropped the ball they had the hottest pad around and none to sell ,been playing with the iconia for three hours now and I love it thing takes a crap on the archos 70 I was using. great pad

[devo229]

just got the icon a

[livecave144]

Haha iPad docent have shit ton of ports and no flash yet it sells better in one day than all android tablets combined

[pivoteer971]

@livecave144 because us as consumers want something fast enough to surf the web, check email, play music, take pictures, and play a fuckload of games and use apps that can help us everyday. We don't want something with a shitload of ports we don't even use everyday, uses laggy software and has things inside of it we don't even know how to use. Apple knows what a consumer wants and thats why Apple always wins with everyone or their products and i completely agree with you. GO APPLE!

[livecave144]

@pivoteer971 Exactly why I have an iPad 2 

[pivoteer971]

@livecave144 fuck yea!

[MRBIGGIEMAC]

the icona tab has the dock port to how did asus win casue of that if anything it wins casue of the multi port system on it plus being dockable and to have the dock its a hundred and fifty bucks more to have its function anywhere near the icona tab natural onscreen keyboard lol

[dmp762]

That gave the Asus points for the keyboard but that did not include the $150 for it in the price

[miritkenny]

PS3 fail. No exclusive for a jap console. Xbox #Winning

[bizzare10]

They can not give asus points for having a cool accessory and then not include it in the price comparison. I don't know why I watch this bullshit

[bobbybob3680]

acer is absolute shit. I would never EVER purchase a product from them again.

[GMELECTRONICS365]

looks like a digital picture frame.

[VoGuEGaMe]

Nothing about software updates ?.. cuz I think so far Xoom is the only one that got Honeycomb 3.1

[CityFlashLights]

@VoGuEGaMe transformer got that too

[burninwftf44]

donald TACO-BELL xDDD

[yummy1234098]

i'm pretty sure adding a $150 keyboard makes it a netbook not a tablet and plus you have to add $150 to the 400 dollars which then actually makes the netbook $550 dollars to get the same features as the acer which is then a whole $100 dollars cheaper.

[Snowintosh]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best Honeycomb tablet. SAMSUNG FTW!

[kenhes]

Acer Iconia travelled here from the 70's. Am I right?

[aStrayforMyTime]

mac is it like a computer for idiots. I like owning, and controlling my shit. you really only going to learn from mistakes and research. With mac just download an app to do the thinking for you."Omg i can't wipe my ass my phone's dead" Buying a mac is like a fashion statement, i don't know one person that buys a ipad, iphone and doesn't tell a bunch people about it.

[kumquatsta]

any android tablets with owner changeable batteries?

[hahahanvm]

What does blind score mean?

Does it mean score?

[AlmightyUniden]

@hahahanvm means the judges don't compare their scores with each other.

[hahahanvm]

@AlmightyUniden

O LOL my English getting worse and worse everyday.

Thanks

[kumquatsta]

now root a nook color

[V3RM1LI0N]

Haha the little clips of Brian are hilarious

[coso182]

ipad 2 sucks

[sunny572]

more prizefight!

[pkerry12]

iPad 2 OWNS both of them!! Lol

[qwertyfshag]

I think an iPad should of jumped into the fight last minute and beat both of them.

[NightTimeification]

Did he say A-Seuss?

Have I been saying it wrong all this time?

Also, Asus Transformer with Optimus Prime wallpaper FTW!!!!!!!

[mightymelee]

lol @ the youtube lag.. flash on mobile devices= fail

[RCheung28]

a sews

or eh sus

[WITCG1]

The Asus is best, I want them to compare the Asus and the new Galaxy Tab when it comes out

[kontar72]

If you read their commentary on-line, they mentioned the ipad like 8 or 9 times even though they aren't reviewing the ipad.

[Uprock415]

If you can find the Asus for the MSRP, that's great, but you can't out in the wild. So that should be accounted in this video.

[Drrck11]

Asus Eee Pad Transformer-Is it a Deceptecon or Autobot? lol

[banditboydavid]

If I didn't already have an ipad, the Asus would really look appealing

[OromoBoyy]

okay...... ''ring-a-ling ding tong''

[TheOracle12]

first

[pafing]

asus

[iTechVidsOfficial]

Transformer is better

[joe1134206]

[mariopawnch]

@LostMySauce if you hear what they say it basicly did

[rb7magnetico]

@LostMySauce lol...he always favors apple

[mariokid2115]

@LostMySauce Apple has lost in the past.

[dimm116]

@LostMySauce yeah... these fuckers ALWAYS announce apple products the winner in everything.. bullshit. lol

[Slipknot882222]
