Thankfully the transformer prime has taken its looks from the ASUS Zenbook and that makes it get the WOW factor that the iPad has got. It's 10.1 inch screen with a sturdy Gorilla Glass, Still has it's disadvantages which are while holding the tablet the edges pinch a bit. Physical buttons are limited to standby and a volume rocker. To turn the tablet into a laptop, a small connector that snaps into place to combine the Chiclet-Style Keyboard with a slide switch to release the Tablet from the keyboard.
About The Keyboard
Chiclet style full QWERTY keyboard and trackpad that is similar to the ASUS Netbooks that you can find in the market.
Features of the Keyboard
- Built-in USB 2.0 Port
- SD Card Support
- ASUS Cloud Storage Board Included inside the Keyboard
- 22Wh Battery
Processor
The First Device to come with Nvidia Tegra 3 Quadcore processor is the ASUS Transformer Prime.
It's such a powerful processor that while switching screens, playing the most graphic intensive games we did not find any lag at any point of time in the testing period which was daily use and even this post is written with it.
Screen
It is a gorgeous display on which we watched movies and played games and did not want to come back to the old laptop display it was really amazing.
Thanks to the Super IPS+ technology bundled inside it we really really loved it and we sincerely did.
Camera
Yes we did not like the camera a little bit as we also use DSLR's and yes the iPad so for the camera we did not like it as if you are talking on skype the camera sometimes Flickers, Blacks out, Freezes, etc.
But yes the back camera did give some good results.
Battery
The tablet gives a good life of 12 hours and the keyboard gives an 8 hour battery atleast for us that makes the battery total of 18 hours that is really nice.
And by us i mean really exhausting the battery to its full with really intensive graphics.
VERDICT
We totally recommend this tablet for people who like to work and have fun together without charging the battery.
But for more intensive people who can charge and wants more out of a tablet surely go in for an iPad as it is for the same price.
