Asus Transformer Prime Review - Best Android Tablet

**First Impressions: The Asus Transformer Prime**

One of the aluminum circular swirl back plate is very attractive and stylish. It's fast, he says, having a quad-core processor that seems to take advantage of both hardware and software. This means that the software is optimized for the hardware, resulting in better performance. He also notes that the unit is slightly thinner and lighter than an iPad.

**Screen Quality**

He notes that the screen quality is equal to that of the first two generations of the iPad. While it's not up to the latest and greatest Retina Display on newer iPads, it's still a great display. The 8-megapixel camera is also an improvement over most tablets, which often have lower-quality cameras. However, he notes that few people use these cameras for anything other than video chats or voice calls.

**Android vs. iOS**

He gives his experiences with the Transformer Prime and says it's an excellent option for those who want to use an Android operating system instead of being locked into Apple iOS or iTunes. The docking station feature is also a highlight, as it transforms the tablet into more of a laptop. This allows users to connect wireless keyboards like Bluetooth wireless keyboards, making it seamless.

**The Value of Tablets**

Ron notes that tablets are kind of in between traditional laptops and full-touchscreen devices. They're not really laptops, but sometimes you need a keyboard. He also mentions that once touchscreens become more common on laptops, they'll be cool again. For now, the Transformer Prime offers great value as a lightweight and portable device.

**Ease of Transport**

He says that one of the biggest values of tablet computers is their ease of transport. They're typically lightweight and can fit easily in a bag or purse. As long as the screen is responsive to touch and the platform is healthy, with apps optimized for that screen size, you've got a winner.

**The Transformer Prime: A Great Option**

Ron believes that the Asus Transformer Prime is probably the best Android tablet out there. With its great display, improved camera, and seamless docking station feature, it's a top choice for those looking for an Android tablet. If you're in the market for an Android tablet, Ron recommends checking out the Transformer Prime.

upset at Asus when they named one of their Android tablets uh Transformer Prime Asus uh is happy though because Hasbro did not uh win that particular lawsuit and so Asus gets to keep the name Transformer Prime now if you're not familiar with Asus Transformer Prime uh this particular piece of Hardware is uh I would say lusted after by many a geek one of those Geeks happens to be uh one of our Android fans on locker.com and I'm very happy to report that we now have an official Asus Transformer Prime review posted now you can take a look at the link in the description if you thought that we only covered uh Microsoft Windows you're wrong we cover more than Windows products here on locker and we cover we cover just about everything if you'd bother to look and hopefully you will bother to look so uh Ron's First Impressions uh one the aluminum circular swirl back plate is very attractive and stylish it is fast he says have I told you it has a quad core processor and it seems that it's taking advantage of the hardware I mean the software in conjunction with the hardware that's good news he says it appears to me that this unit is just slightly thinner and lighter than an iPad now that's just off of feel and honestly uh you know you could look at the specs and say well this one's heavier this one's lighter how does it feel to you and to me that's that's you know a greater uh Revelation in the grand scheme of things how does it feel does it feel heavy does it feel light uh screen quality he notes equals that of the first two generations of the iPad not the newest and greatest uh is is what Rod notes so he's he's saying that it's not up to an iPad 3 or new a new generation iPad uh Retina Display but still not bad uh micro HDMI and micro SD slot uh card slots make the unit more versatile and I think this is where uh non-apple devices really have a leg up uh the fact that you can uh offload data or use data on external uh uh storage see removable media you know like SD cards or or micro SD cards uh the HDMI slot having it built in is nice of course you can get an adapter for just about any one of those portable machines out there and he notes that the 8 megapixel camera is an improvement over most tablets got to tell you um I don't care what tablet platform you have I I just don't see many people using the cameras for anything other than maybe uh network uh time as in like uh Voice or video chats with one another so he he gives uh his experiences with the Transformer Prime and he said that uh he believes that the Asus Transformer Prime is an excellent option for those who want to use an Android operating system instead of being locked into Apple iOS or iTunes Vice so if you are looking for uh an Android tablet the Transformer Prime may very well be it if only because they have like a docking station type of option that will transform that tablet into more of like a laptop so yes you can connect uh usually you can connect wireless keyboards like Bluetooth wireless keyboards to a variety of tablets uh you know Asus has taken a step forward and and made it seamless you know not just making it a case but really making it work and I guess it was an extra uh $150 so he Ron basically Compares this to a traditional laptop and and tablets are kind of in between right they're not really laptops uh there are full touchscreen devices but sometimes you do need a keyboard uh what kind of keyboard do you want well depends on what feel you need for that keyboard is there good action on the keyboard uh but he notes uh here you know says well why didn't you just buy a laptop instead instead of going with something like a tablet he says my laptop doesn't have the cool factor a laptop isn't cool whereas tablets are well I guess that's how you I guess how you define cool to tell you the truth I'm not sure um yeah I don't look at laptops as being never looked at them really as being cool maybe they're not as I mean Sleek as as a as a tablet uh type of computer uh I think once t uh laptops have touchscreen capabilities built in you know whether we're talking a proliferation proliferation of slates or full-on tablets uh or notebooks that have touch screens uh you know maybe they'll be cool again because touch seems to be where it's at and that's what he notes here um but he said that the the same ease of Transport as a tablet something that brings it up more than a notch when you think of lugging it around through an airport terminal and I think it's the biggest value uh that tablet computers have over traditional laptops is they're T typically lightweight and as long as the screen is responsive to the touch and as long as the platform is healthy enough and the apps are optimized for that screen size I think you've potentially got a winner in your hands I mean yeah you can have an app but I'm big into that the the whole app being optimized for the screen size and it's good to know that Google's paying attention to that uh certainly with newer iterations of Android I would say overwhelmingly a positive review of the Asus Transformer Prime take a look at the article uh if you have any other suggestions for Ron or anybody else who has a Transformer Prime feel free to share it uh you know the thing is is he's thinking that this is probably the best Android tablet there is out there well
