I Want one! guy at work has one and its awesome!

Love the idea of the connectible keypad, so that you can switch between tablet and laptop mode and extend the battery life. The visible task-bar sounds like a great feature too.  

When using Android 3.1 versus the iPad some critiques have dissed Android for a clumsy or slow screen control. Have you found this comparison to be accurate? So far it is the only significant shortcoming that I have seen.

What a great idea, i would love  an Eee Pad.

I have been debating between an iPad and the eee Pad Transformer for quite some time now. Everything seems to point towards getting a transformer, as I am an android fan as it is and really like the idea of the extra battery. I suppose my only question relates to my son who has just turned 1 and it is that the iPad has quite a lot of educational apps, are there many out for honeycomb? But this article just makes me want a transformer more and more!

definately a great piece of kit, just not so looking forward to the teething problems or lack of apps from android 3.0. shall have to wait and see…. 

The whole idea of the ‘Transformer’ is one of practicality, productivity and style. When I start university in September I can see how the Eee Pad Transformer. Will enhance my learning through the practicality of Honeycomb and the productivity of the keyboard, whilst still looking stylish through the materials and colours used. Overall a great device that I am itching to get my hands on. Good write up. 

I’m loving the connectivity of the Eee Pad and keyboard combo.

Fair comments! I just want one really badly!! I am going to University in September and think its just so practical and functional aswell us being uber cool!! 

“I like the screen though just like the iPad you have to keep it clean, particularly after the kids have been using it!”
If that is the worst thing about the eepad, I say us users can survive the inconvenience
Brilliant piece of technology, wish I had more than double digits in my savings account. That would be extremely useful during my daily London commute – both for work and pleasure!

Just what i have been waiting for!! 

Not sure how well the honeycomb keyboard works – can you install Swipe – or is it best to go for the keyboard dock?

It’s no surprise the Transformer is doing so well…. Excellent hardware with unique capabilities, at a bargain price!  I really think Asus can do a whole series of Transformers with different sizes, and even with different OS’s!  Only disappointment is that they don’t turn into a Laser totin’ Robot!

Can I turn it into a robot too, that would be great.

I’m totally loving my Transformer, I wish I had the keyboard dock too but I was just too eager to get my hands on one so bought without it.

There isn’t day that goes past without it sitting with me on the sofa, sharing some quality Honeycomb goodness

Great bit of kit – well done Asus.

This site is great btw. There are very few companies who provide their customer base with this sort of product specific support and info sharing. Although, I do have one minor complaint about this blog, it makes me a tiny bit jealous reading about the dock – I want one too but no one has stock yet! 

@iamthecosmos – good comment – it could be a bit like the Sheldon robot from The Big Bang Theory – use the Transformer as the head – awesome ha ha ha.

Great bit of kit this. Would love to own one.

definitely Eee pad transformers is the new way forward, easier features, handy to carry around detachable keybord (something absolutely of great importance for me rather than greasing the screen around), WiFi. What else do you need? Top of the range for me!

Nice review, best of both worlds with the dock as well. Something I am sure Apple, amongst other manufacturers will copy. Original idea from asus to differentiate their product from all the competitors.

Brill Idea the Asus Transformer as the name implies it Transforms from a Tablet to a laptop. Great Idea if the Kids are using it, attach the Keyboard to keep the screen clean, then you can use it as a Tablet for yourself, love it.  

I think I’d always be worried about leaving the keyboard somewhere and losing it!

I have to get myself one of these babies! )

Cant wait to get my hands on a transformer, it’s so versatile!

Love the idea of it turning into a Laptop so easily. Even I could set that up.

Can’t wait for the 3G version

I think it is a great design concept, i can imagine the Transformer being very useful for many tasks.

I am pretty picky with my electronics, bought one well over the retail price and loved it! Had some issues (light bleeeding, speakers, etc) and after a few thought I reluctantly gave it away. I couldn’t last a few days without my Transformer and have been on the waiting list for pre-order since. This product is a win! Go ASUS!

Can’t wait to get my dock, my brother is wishing he had a Transformer instead of an iPad!

I am looking forward to using one with the keyboard dock. Looks very versatile.

As a New World Slacker and yet to dip my Weary Toes into this Technological World..

Everything for everybody else  may start with an Eee. but can  it with me…

Well the more i read about the Asus Eee tablet. the more i want to know..

It is a vast improvment to my normal reaction to technology..

Which is usually. why so many keys ?  what do all these flashing lights mean ?

Well today. Im Asking for the first time in my life…

What can technology. what can the Asus Eee… DO FOR ME ?

And again for the first time in my life…. I WOULD TRULLY LOVE TO FIND OUT !

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is one of those toys,where you just think to yourself,(I want one of them to play with!

I love my transformer – just wish I’d bought one with the keyboard dock.

Love the Asus Transformer

I’ve never considered getting one of these before, but I’m starting to think I shouldn’t dismiss getting one altogether.

Unfortunately my left speaker died on my new TF only a week after having it. I am today waiting for a DHL pickup to send it from the UK to a service center over in Czech Republic. The left speaker issue appears to be a common one and Asus really should have sorted this issue out beforehand. The case also creaks a bit, there are light leaks and there are issues with typing lag in the browser and juddering video playback. Even with the 3.1 update and latest firmware. Also framerates drop in portrait mode. I’m actually pretty amazed that these issues are not highlghted more. If they can fix these issues it would be a pretty damned good bit of kit. As of right now I feel a little let down.

I’ve been looking around for a tablet and wasn’t sure what to get. After reading various reviews on the net this seems to be the ONE! Love the fact that the keyboard acts as another power source.

It depends really on how you use it. I use(d) an app launcher called Circle Launcher and lay out my shortcuts into catgories and favorites. Works a treat. The problem I had with typing on the tablet was mostly fixed by install Thumbs Keyboard. As for typing in a browser that is indeed very sluggish. There is a third party app for various forums that support it called Tapatalk which works much better. But it is again something you must buy/install rather than a cure.

Getting the keyboard dock delivered tomorrow – Can’t wait….

It is SO useful.  I like to use the tablet for watching films and looking at photos and reading eBooks etc and use the notebook for writing emails.  2 computers in one and thoroughly indispensable.

I normally dismiss the thoughts of a tablet, I think the fingerprints would annoy me but this looks a really good!

I would love to try one of these – sound fab

 Iam searching to find out about how the pen system in the transformer is made. is it as advanced as in the slate, or is it a different system? Sing to me ASUS.

I will use the transformer for notetaking , but please how me how. How is the pen working , do the pen has feedback as in slate? …so little information.

There is no pen supplied with the Transformer, only the EP121/BP121 Slate. Since it’s a similar capacitive interface you could buy a capacitive pen, however since it’s drivers are not specifically designed for it and the interface is multi-touch, your palm resting on it might cause it confusion. I don’t know, never tried sorry.
