This prime is so much smoother to navigate and use compared to the transformer. I played a few 1080p videos from Youtube and see no lag at all. The screen is bright and clear, and yeah the super IPS mode for outdoor viewing.

And of course it is lighter and sexier too.

Many are getting it because of the keyboard dock. It opens the tablet to an entirely new world. I plan to use it to upload photos (by the batch) to FB via the keyboard SD card slot.

just excuse
later will complaint to big to put in car, no car holder la ... kena break in .... haahaha

even there is no issue with gps,i wont use mobile device(phone,tablet) as main gps for car as i feel they not reliable enough compare to standalone gps device..as long as google maps working then is fine

but maybe is just me

Agree with this also. Just hope the price doesn't go too high though

10 inch isn't that big, and i have already customized a place that can fit the tablet in.

like i said,is jsut my own opinion

i know tablet or smart phone can do everything in 1 device but sometime i prefer reliable device for something else such as gps..

i had a weak gps device before which has a weak GPS but at least it gave me an accurate location in google maps..

i'm using my phone as a gps now, it also has a weak GPS (HTC, which is known to make it's devices using aluminum). if the sky is clear it's very reliable, but when it's cloudy, it's so hard to get a lock. when i use my LG O2X as gps, it's super reliable even if it's raining cats and dogs because it's made out of plastic. In my experience, u don't really need a dedicated GPS device, just need a plastic phone or tablet to do the job. and there's no turn by turn navigation in google maps (for malaysia), that's why i don't use it during driving.

Agree with stormlcc. I buy tablet not to play games or casual internet surfing but for business purpose. So gps and 3G absolutely important to me. Perhaps person like me is not their target market.

opps

what i mean was SGS, not gps device

SGS just a crap phone

it's not about us wanting to use it as a primary GPS device. but tablets nowadays, the gps is like a mandatory requirement in the spec. despite whether you use it or not, it should be there. even my old nokia got a working GPS, and it locks pretty fast too for an old device. If you pay handsomely for it, why not getting it all in one device? I've been waiting for it like mad, but since it got a prob with GPS and Wifi signal, then i guess I have to just wait for a better replacement model. I hope Asus would at least have a shot in improvising the model and release another version of Prime somewhere around this year with EVERYTHING's fixed. I'd buy it despite the problems if and only if the price makes sense. But i doubt so. So waiting is the game I have to play for now. Let those eager beavers have a hand on the device 1st and see how it goes from there.

the GPS itself is there but just not performing well only..

i know u trying to say weak = no gps but in theory that GPS just there.it still usable but not performing well

also, many people still get it works perfectly.so depends on ur 'luck' lol

Fun how everybody looks at it differently.

I need it for pleasure mainly. Watching movies and such. On the couch I will use it for reading/browsing and checking email. I do not expect to do real business on it. It is mainly for consuming instead of producing. Perhaps it will be different in the near future with w8. But now with Android I don't have high expectations. I don't care about GPS, I don't care about games, I don't care about 3G.

All that will probably be there when I buy the better tab in a year orso. If you guys are hoping to use this item for many years; then you better wait for the one which has all the features. Right now I settle for media in HD, smooth browsing/viewing and WIFI.

I will be a happy camper. I was notified I could pick up the Prime next week in Spore. Lucky me, I had already planned a trip there that week...couldn't be more lucky (so it seems, will be enthusiastic when I have the device in my hands ).

oh, you were one of the first 100 who mailed them about the pre-order?

Apparently, but I guess you and many others misread; they said "Be one of the first 100 Facebook Fans to own the new Prime"....not "The first 100 replies automatically get a launch Prime"....unless they changed this in the TOC later...

but spore price seems kinda steep. most likely will get a msian set, should be RM100-150 cheaper than spore set after conversion.

eyeing on the prime too but no hurry to get it as i got my Note to play around at the moment. hopefully 2 or 3 months down the road, they manage to come out one problem-free.

Yep , guess need to wait until price drop.

Even 2.1k is still expensive for a tablet without 3g + GPS . A galaxy tab eventhough with dual processor it only cost around RM 1400-1499.RM 600 extra is a bit too much

Readable outdoor , galaxy tab works
Quad-core --> still need to buy the keyboard = RM 500 to cucuk the USB port
Netbook hybrid really useful + trackpad but if you want , you can even get a bluetooth keyboard + mouse which cost less than RM 200
ICS ? wait for CyanogenMod

Agree , right now is the most powerful android tablet but will only last for 3-6 months , fruitpad3 + other coming up with the same quad core.Technology but you use it first and enjoy first

Try flashing with other roms

depends , some still prefer bigger screen. Since GPS is weak or = no gps , why still charge so expensive ? 2.1k ?
Charge lesser then got extra $ buy a new standalone gps device

RM2.1k?
im not following malaysia price and i ordered mine from US just $499 which is very cheap for me.

anyway, the bold part you mentioned was simply lame and doesnt make sense AT ALL.
looks like u hate TP so much.

well, you got an answer, galaxy tab works fine for u and u don need TP

Yeah, no TP haters in this thread.
I forgot to mention more.

micro HDMI output directly connect to HD tv (movies + games)
extra 6hrs battery life in keyboard dock (no bluetooth keyboard gonna give that)
first ever tablet to sports Tegra 3

what's not to love?
maybe make a petition first for cheaper price from ASUS Malaysia.

Maybe I didn't explain well and what makes you think I hate TP.I just compare the price vs the need of one of the user meeninme post.
1. Compare to readable outdoor , yeh other product is cheaper and works better - GTab 10.1
2. Quad-core gaming when mention about xbox thing - A must to buy an extra keyboard which worth of RM 500 to plugin to the USB port
3. Tablet to Netbook hybrid is a great but compare to the keyboard price RM 500 is a bit expensive.Maybe getting this is better ? http://www.phonearena.com/news/Motorola-Wi...ands-on_id25096
4. ICS is an upgrade - software part . If you really need ICS , can go for custom rom.

Added on January 6, 2012, 10:30 pmI mention , I never hate any TP product , I just compare only.
Micro HDMI even TF101 also have
Yeh , 6hrs battery life in keyboard dock is good , advantage , no other product have it.
first ever tablet to sports Tegra 3 but pricey only

If the price = TF101 , why not buying ? + GPS fix
