ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime review: eerste Tegra 3-tablet
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Asus Transformer Prime (1GB + 64GB)

  • Powerful quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor for smooth multitasking and gaming
  • Extremely bright and sharp 10.1-inch Super IPS+ display with excellent viewing angles
  • Versatile design with a detachable keyboard dock that adds a secondary battery and USB/SD ports
  • Impressive battery life, significantly extended when docked to the keyboard
  • High-quality, slim, and sturdy all-metal build
  • Strong 8-megapixel rear camera with fast autofocus and high-definition video recording
  • Responsive touchscreen and clean, near-stock Android software experience

What we don't like about Asus Transformer Prime (1GB + 64GB)

  • Widespread reports of weak or unreliable GPS and Wi-Fi signal reception due to the metal casing
  • Single speaker design can be easily blocked by hands in landscape mode
  • Initially shipped with outdated Android 3.2 (Honeycomb), though later updated to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
  • Docked configuration can be top-heavy and unstable on a lap
  • Keyboard and trackpad on the dock are somewhat cramped and can suffer from lag
  • The metallic finish is prone to fingerprints and can be slippery to hold
  • Lack of 3G/4G connectivity on standard models; limited to Wi-Fi only

Verdict

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 (64GB) is a high-end 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1280x800 Super IPS+ display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM. It is noted for its sleek 8.3mm aluminum build, an 8MP rear camera capable of 1080p video, and an optional keyboard dock that significantly extends its 12-hour battery life. Main pros include its exceptionally bright screen for outdoor use, powerful gaming performance, and premium metallic finish, while notable cons include widely reported GPS and Wi-Fi signal issues caused by the metal chassis, a single-speaker design, and the lack of a 3G/4G cellular option.
