Asus Eee Pad Transformer Review

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is as good an iPad 2 challenger as you're going to find for less than $400, according to Asus Eee Pad Transformer reviews. An expert at PCMag comments approvingly on the tablet's speed in comparative tests, as well as the fact that it uses the latest Android 3.2 "Honeycomb" operating system. In an Asus Eee Pad Transformer review at Laptopmag.com, an expert praises the capacitive touchscreen, noting how vibrant colors look on the display. Both those reviewers, as well as experts at PCWorld and CNET, note in Asus Eee Pad Transformer reviews that a major selling point is an optional keyboard docking station that effectively transforms this tablet into a laptop (hence the name Transformer).

The Eee Pad Transformer uses Nvidia's fast Tegra 2 processor and has a large, 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen. The device has 16 GB of internal memory, as much as any other budget tablet on our list, and a microSD slot to add even more. Like most tablets, the Transformer supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. It also has a mini HDMI port, as well as a couple of audio ports for a headphone and mic. This Asus tablet can download apps from the Android Market and includes features such as GPS, as well as a 5 mp rear camera and a 1.2 mp camera on the front.

If you don't want to pay for an iPad, the Eee Pad Transformer is an excellent alternative. It's fast, it looks good, it's well-designed, and it can use apps from the Android Market. In short, it has just about everything you could want in a budget tablet.
