QUOTE(stormlcc @ Dec 1 2011, 09:34 PM) if use USB charging don't know when can fully charge, probably after 12 hours? anyway, can we use bluetooth mouse and keyboard with just the on board bluetooth pairing? or do we still need to plug in a bluetooth dongle into the USB slot? As far as i know, the dongle need to be plugged in, i wish im wrong though. |

QUOTE(stormlcc @ Dec 1 2011, 09:56 PM) the question is, does these benchmark apps supports quad core? anyway, benchmarks are irrelevant...... let's just assume none of them support quad core and all the app that u gonna use later will be quad core supported. ya, close your eye. none of these matter. |

Hehehe ... since there's quad core, im not going back anymore to dual core no matter whats the benchmark is.  This post has been edited by stormaker: Dec 1 2011, 10:10 PM |

I've seen some post lamenting about the lack of 3G support. Asus might release TF201-G (like what they did with the original transformer) in the future. So either you wait or hope someone from XDA could port drivers for 3G usb dongles. A couple of 3G USB dongles have been demonstrated to work with the original transformer. Plus, since the drivers are just linux kernel modules, I don't see why it would be difficult for devs to get the drivers which are currently working with TF101 to TF201. Of course, you would have to get the keyboard dock for the USB port though.
Anyway, back to the transformer TF201. I'm a little disappointed with tegra 3's ULP Geforce though. Apart from the dedicated hardware that could finally fully offload decoding of high profile 1080p H264-encoded videos, I expected a wider margin in GPU performance improvement compared to the iPad2's PowerVR SGX543MP2. I'm basing this off anandtech's review. (Yes. I know there is a difference in 300k pixels between the iPad2 and the TF201. But I expected the improvement to be big enough to offset this minute difference). Anyway, the review is quite preliminary and I might be wrong considering that better drivers might be included in the ICS release.

Have you guys read about this? The camera on the prime looks very promising. http://www.soyacincau.com/2011/12/01/the-8...etty-darn-good/Sample picture: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

The pics look damn nice but it would be so weird taking pics using a tablet that size my personal opinion of course  |

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Dec 1 2011, 09:47 PM) Top of all Android tablet. But unfortunately, as expected, performance is not that much better for a quad core CPU. that is because of marketing la. nama aja quad core, but each of the cores itself are different. for instance, one of the cores is 5MHz, and used for very specific purposes. that, and those linpacks or whatever tests are just synthetic tests, don't really translate to real-world use. I'm pretty sure those tests does not support the instruction extensions of quad-core processors yet. Truth be told I'm more interested to see HD video playback performance for the Prime like non-baseline-encoded h.264 MKV videos. kinda sucks that only movies encoded by groups like FASM or HDLiTE (heavily compressed) have acceptable framerates. buat lah android version 10 pon, if google still refuse to address movie playback issues then forever la android is just a hack-OS, not a real one. would Prime be released in singapore first ah? don't really mind driving down there just to get one  This post has been edited by C-Fu: Dec 2 2011, 01:31 AM |

Anyway, the review is quite preliminary and I might be wrong considering that better drivers might be included in the ICS release. From xda QUOTE -The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in the Tegra 3 Soc has 12 shaders. But, because Nvidia has not followed a unified-shader architecture in this ARM SoC like they've been doing in their PC and MAC discrete graphics cards, 8 of those 12 shaders are reserved for pixel work and the remaining 4 are for vertex. Maybe Nvidia will use unified-shader architecture in the next generation Tegra SoC'es, when the ARM-based devices are ready for it. The PowerVR MP2 GPU in the iPad 2 has more raw power than the Tegra 3 GPU (Actually, it's the only one thing I personally like about the iPad 2, it's GPU!), but the Tegra 3 Geforce (the commercial name Nvidia uses for their gaming graphics processors) should give a solid 3D performance in games, especially the officially supported games. Nvidia has long history in 3D gaming and been using it's solid connections with game developers to bring higher quality gaming to Android, like what we've seen with Tegra 2 SoC capabilities in games listed in the TegraZone Android app. Add to that, games are not just GPU bound, Tegra 3's quad-cores and 1GB system RAM (iPad has 512MB) will pump up gaming qualities for sure and the pixel density of 149ppi displays crisper images than the 132ppi of the iPad 2. Once the Asus Prime is released, it can be officially considered the highest performing Android device in the world, especially 3D gaming. so ya,is about how it perform and not about the benchmark. at least Tegra 3 performing well especially in 3D gaming and full hd video |

I have TF101, I look at TegraZone, there is only a hand-full of quality game. Most (if not all) already released in iPad2.
Benchmark is not everything, but it tell u how it is expected to perform. With these number, please dont expect the unrealistic performance from TF201. You can still hope, but dont be surprise if it will never come.
Like I waited for TF101 to shine, it never did.

Their release date AND announcing date is both dec 1st. Malaysia would get it in these few weeks i think. |
