Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

UK release date: January 2012
Specs: Android 3.1, Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, 10.1-inch capacitive display at 1280x800, keyboard dock with internal battery, micoSD, HDMI-out, 8MP rear-facing camera, 1.2MP front-facing camera, 586g

What we think:The Prime is the first Tegra 3 tablet and the best tablet aside form the iPad. It's thinner than every other tablet in existence, and comes bundled with a keyboard dock that can be fixed to make the tablet a full-on fold-up Android netbook. The dock has its own battery too, and passes its charge over to the tablet whenever it's connected. All in all, there's 17 hours of battery life to be had which is amazing. It's ultra fast and powerful, and will launch in Jan for £499.
