very good review by engadget uk

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/18/asus-ee...edition-review/

crappy camera software .. below average frame rates .. in video recording ..
hope asus solve it later ...

if you read the review itself, its not bad, but the reviewer is a Apple fan, thus the rating for this tablet is totally off

I mean..

THE GOOD
Lovely IPS display with wide viewing angles
Tegra 2 dual-core processor
Dock adds connectivity, keyboard and battery life
THE BAD
Broken camera software
Highly reflective glass
Honeycomb still has issues to iron out
Ipad 2 itself has a terrible cam, ALSO a highly reflective glass, Honeycomb performs better than iOS as a tablet OS in terms of multitasking and notification system,
how does this get a 7/10 but 9/10 for iPad 2

I never did like tablets. Just don't get what the hype is all about. Haven't seen a purpose to own one. But this thing with detach keyboard and ubuntu + android dual boot makes me want it so bad!

plus the reasonable price, its cheaper than the iPad 2, quite a lot.

how can it be around the xoom's price, its 399 for the lower spec.

399 used times 3 = thats less then 1300rm. so it will be around 1300-1400rm.

right now the us dollar is weakened, that it competes 2.995 ringgit to 1 us dollar.
*
for that amount, you get a fine 10.1" Tegra 2 tablet, plus its from a reputable brand.

you can't deny that the price makes other tablets look so over priced tongue.gif

official malaysia asus transformer coming soon
but the price is not attractive at all
US (the lowest spec)
transformer $399
ipad2 $499

MY
transformer RM1750
ipad2 RM1499
i purposely did the price comparison because the ipad2 is launching on tomorrow. that's the asus biggest competitor i can say that not in term of OS part, but the price part.

this is the seller selling malaysia set http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1854176

+1 this is killing one of the major selling point of this tablet hmm.gif

1799???

so the difference between this and some sellers selling it for 1.6k in garage sales is the warranty??
*
this 1799 is keyboard + dock

the one 1.6k is without dock, and 2k with dock

Let me beat you to that, i'll skip this one, and the next one, and wait for transformer III with Tegra 4 next fall instead.  rclxms.gif

except that he only need to wait for a few months, while you need to wait for a year or more.
you do know that Tegra 3 is coming really soon? Tegra 2 devices actually took longer than it should to be launched
the same thing can happen to Tegra 3 devices though, but that is still unknown now
and I doubt that it will be the same as Tegra 2.

Rumor is that Tegra 3 will be released by August, and soon after that Tegra 3 tablets will come, which WILL be within this year.

but of course its just rumors after all, you can choose to not believe it tongue.gif
