Asus Transformer Review

Just some quick thoughts after a day with the Asus Transformer. I was unable to find the keyboard dock, but just wanted to give my initial, out of the box impressions having owned both the iPad 2 and the Xoom over the past few months.

Is it still working good?

or did it show some problems later on??

@siamsttr I ended up returning my TF a while back due to the light bleed issue and the fact Asus would not replaced it with a new unit stating the light bleed was within "acceptable" limits. I haven't jumped in on the prime so far, probably check it out once they go on sale a bit. Aside from the light bleed, great tablet and with the dock the battery life was incredible!

What do you prefer using everyday the Asus or the Motorola? I recently bought the Transformer and have no bad points about it but I had the chace to buy a Motorola xoom 3g and instead bought the Transformer 16gb. I bought a wifi modem for the Asus but its killing me to know I couldve just bought Xoom with a 3g modem inside it. I just want to know what you'd rather use everyday for things such as being on the train in the morning to school or work what would be more comfortable?

@SnapbackHaven Just wanted to add what you think is better as tablet itself as I dont have the keyboard dock and dont realy need one due to having a macbook pro anyway

@SnapbackHaven If you have a laptop already... I think I would just use it as a tablet. While I had it I didn't have a laptop, I went full on TF w/Keyboard and loved it. Small, light and amazing battery life.

@SnapbackHaven I have to say I preferred the Asus, but it was with the KB dock and more or less served as my laptop replacement for several months. Moto imo was simply to slow to bring updates, enable key features and the Xoom was rather heavy in comparison the TF. People can say it's only 2lbs, but hand on to it for a few hours and then tell me it's not a bit heavy by comparison to the TF, iPad or Galaxy tab. Every bit counts.

@riomhadoir It's clearly an autobot. We all know that Apple has been infiltrated by the decepticons.
