QUOTE(tyenfei @ Jun 13 2011, 11:48 AM) mini HDMI to VGA cable no lah. cause is digital to analog. So only mini HDMI to VGA converter "BOX" meaning not the cable type. hmmm... actually, then what is the use of such a cable if converter box is still required? i think i posted a photo of it a few pages back. it will need a circuit board to do the convert function.  saje asking for the sake of asking. not like i will need it anyway.  |

QUOTE(tyenfei @ Jun 13 2011, 11:38 AM) My TF will slowly replace my notebook for mobile usage. As specially when most of the old projector replace by HDMI supported model. for printing i think you can try to use the cloud print (beta) app in the market. havnt tried it yet but should work. basically it links with your google chrome if not mistaken. you still need a pc that links to your printer.Now I still need to bring my notebook only "if" need to connect VGA projector and do some network testing/configuration with RJ45. And 2 more things I want to find out are 1. How to print  2. Ext USB DVD Supported or not For me one of the main reason get Pad is reduce paper printing .. but still need to print once in a while  |

QUOTE(CyberKewl @ Jun 13 2011, 11:26 AM) why does it sound like you either have an ipad or other android tablet instead of the transformer? cos if you actually read reviews all over the world, you'd see that everyone is raving about this device until there's shortages everywhere especially the keyboard dock bundle. The keyboard dock is different than any other for the following reasons: 1) Transformer keyboard dock VS apple IPAD / IPAD 2's keyboard dock accessory : Transformer's dock allows you to dock the tablet directly with the dock in LANDSCAPE mode unlike IPAD / IPAD 2's (you're docking it wrong concept) which docks the device in PORTRAIT mode..i mean come on, if you want to type an email, isn't it better to type in landscape mode where you have mode real estate screen space? 2) Transformer's keyboard dock has an extra battery in it claiming to increase the battery life up to 16 hours together with the tablet when both are in full charge 3) Transformer's keyboard dock has 2 USB ports and a full sized SD. Sure, there are some tablets like the acer iconia already having USB ports on the tablet itself, but if you're ok with having just a tablet with no keyboard dock, go ahead and get the iconia if it serves your purpose well. 4) Did I mention that the transformer's keyboard dock has dedicated trackpad built into it, with a single button that can differentiate between left and right click? Right click functionality behaves like the android OS back button. Also, the transformer keyboard has dedicated shortcut keys to the android OS itself such as back button, wireless toggle, bluetooth toggle, brightness setting, screenshot (YES!), browser, media player controls, volume controls, screen lock..you get the picture..if you were to be getting a normal bluetooth keyboard or standard USB keyboard, i doubt the function keys on it would be able to interact with the OS as shortcut keys for the functions i just listed. What more could you ask for?? So there you have it. I've rolled out the great features about the dock. Its really something, not your average tablet + keyboard dock combo. For the price of the keyboard dock which is RM 300 (if you buy the bundle pack tablet + keyboard dock that is), it is a lot more worth it compared to ipad's RM 229 keyboard dock that doesnt have any extra battery pack, no extra usb ports for plugging in external storage/keyboard/mice, no SD card reader..how's that for special ?   tf the best among the rest..  |

QUOTE(steven_wck @ Jun 13 2011, 11:49 AM) anyone usng the TF with a BT mouse? I find the trackpad a little too sensitive and sometimes repositions the cursor while typing... Agree with you, that's why when I do typing, I turn off the trackpad to avoid mis-clicked. |

TF is definitely the only tablets that has potential to close the gap between tablet and netbook..
now it's time for google and android's developers to step up! |

Conclusion is, you can roam around lowyat plaza or digital mall or even sunway IT center (heard from the above threads someone bought from there too) and definitely you can get one.
