I am waiting for the release of the Hp Touchpad to compare this with hands-on; THEN I will CHOOSE! I hope this wins, I really like all its perks…but you just never know til you get to use it.
This has everything I want in a tablet/netbook. I’m just curious what type of UI changes Asus made to Honeycomb and how they will handle updates for it.
UPDATES automatically.. connect via wi-fi. lightweight.
finally a tablet with extra battery power…waiting for a hands-on review of this tablet…
This is it, ASUS TRANSFORMER w/ Docking. Its FINAL and FORTABILITY for students, jobformers, most especially for Technical Society whom life is in keyboard. My hands is waiting. TOUGHEST recommendations. I SALUTE!
Guys, don’t believe the 3G model has been released yet – correct? I’m dying to get my hands on one when it does…….
This is such an amazing tablet. I saw it for 5 minutes and wanted one…so I went out and got it. My 10-yr old even says its better than the iPad! Seriously, you won’t be disappointed…it offers so much more in versatility than anything else out there. Good luck and have fun with it…also watch out for the “slide” version of it…very cool.
