Verdict

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is a versatile 10.1-inch Android tablet powered by a 1.0 GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, featuring 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Its standout characteristic is the optional keyboard docking station that transforms the device into a netbook while extending battery life from roughly 9.5 hours to up to 16 hours. Main pros include a brilliant 1280 x 800 IPS display with 178-degree viewing angles, a mini-HDMI port for 1080p output, and a scratch-resistant glass build. However, some users have reported cons such as occasional software lag within the Honeycomb interface, the absence of a rear camera flash, and a proprietary charging cable that is notably short.
