Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 + Keyboard 1B028A Review posted on
10.1 inch Entertainment Tablet
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is what we've been waiting for - a tablet that can truly replace a netbook or ultra-portable laptop. With the keyboard disengaged, it's a slim, fairly light tablet with a great screen and touchscreen. With the dock in-tow, it's a typing demon whose battery will outlast almost any laptop or tablet you can find. Android 3.0 Honeycomb apps need to catch up for it to compete with the iPad but we fully expect this to happen soon, and Android has its own trump cards like Flash video in the interim. What really completes the picture for the Transformer, though, is its ultra competitive pricing - this is an absolute bargain compared to its rivals.

What it all comes down to is the price. If this had been a £600 tablet, we would have said 'nice try, but it's not quite there'. But this is a £429 tablet - or £379 without the keyboard - which makes it, without question, the most attractive Android tablet yet to hit the shelves. It's also the first non-Windows tablet that can reasonably claim to render the netbook obsolete. So should you buy one - Of course you should.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a quirky machine, but it really impressed us. Well designed and well constructed, this machine proves that physical keyboards can play well with Android tablets, while still being a great Honeycomb slate in its own right. Carefully considered and well implemented, the keyboard dock adds real value at a competition-beating price.
