Asus Transformer Prime

               This is a follow up on the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet and the article for more information can be found in Maximum PC magazine the March 2011 issue.

 

               This is the first tablet to have the nVidia Tegra 3 quad core processor with a 5 core to do small tasks like quick calculations or take a photo of something nice. The tablet runs Android 4.0 code named “IceCreamSandwich”. The tablet can accommodate a keyboard which has a full USB port so you can plug up a game controller and a play console like games on you're tablet. So playing games like Shogun and typing an essay afterwards couldn't be any easier. This tablet is equipped with a 10” screen with a resolution of 1280x800 and it capable of 1080p video play back. Rather than an accessory like a keyboard bringing down you're battery life this tablet has a maximum battery life 18 hours with the key board and is included with software that can not be removed however in Android 4.0 built in applications can be disabled. 

   

               

               This tablet is highly recommended as in this world PCs aren't dying they are just meeting their companions to help you get what needs to be done. On this tablet you can do so much like you can write that article while you are on the train going to work. You will want to be advised that with this tablet having a quad core processor it will not have support for 4G LTE but it will work with any other type of network technology such as HSPA+ but sadly the transformer does not support these such communications. The tablet will be an excellent thing to have when you are on the road but in no way is it a replacement for a PC as it is only a tablet.
