There will never be a PERFECT tablet

Let me start:

compare with other tablet in the market rite now, i think the TP is lack of:

(i) 3g version
(ii) Not as smooth as IPAD 2

but the following makes TP unbeatable (or at least on par with other the other tablet):

(1) long battery life
(2) latest ICS 4.0
(3) Slim and light
(4) superb gorilla screen
(5) with a super slim keyboard dock
(6) extra storage capacity from micro sd slot and USB - already 32gb storage
(7) 1GB ram
(8) latest nvidia tegra 3
(9) Quad core
(10) best camera 8.0 mp
(11) wifi, bluetooth and GPS
(12) Solid aluminium body
(13) Price considerably cheap (as it also attached with dock)

what more you want? to me, if there is no lag and sluggish, this is a perfect tablet for me..

After having the Prime for almost a week now I thought I'd mention my views on the device:

- I love the design, but find it too bulky at some points. I am not sure if the 7" that is due would be better for me. I mainly use it for video, and will almost always hold it in my hands or on my lap. 10,1" is sometimes a bit to big (near).
- I am still not sure whether I have a device with a less than great wifi. I tested it in my condo, and usually get some score between 60 and 70 db.
- GPS works, but I still need to test whether it works fine. If I launch maps, my location is pinpointed within a few seconds. I will never use the device as GPS alternative, so I guess it's fine with me.
- Video playback is awesome, though I am waiting for an upgrade on the players. BS player for example shows the lower bar which is quite annoying.
- 720p material plays beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better player. Very nice detail overall. Downside is that when I watch in lowest brightness (with auto-adjust off), the screens starts flickering at some point, usually between 5% and 15% brightness. When in dark (in bed at night) I can't have too much brightness, but also cannot stand the flickering.
- I was worried that volume of the device might be too low. I used the device last week on the bus from Singapore to KL, and I was almost unable to hear the sound over my headphones due to the traffic/outside/engine noise. Luckily others pointed me towards the Volume+ and the Equalizer aps, which have boosted the sound enormous. Glad with that as I will also use it in the airplane quite often, and there is no point if the volume is too low.
- I have a tiny spot of light bleed in the lower left corner. I am not too bothered by that.
- I hate the fact that it tries to sync all photos and video's to my google+ account. It even syncs my videos which shouldn't be there....perhaps I still need to get the ropes more of the OS

My serial btw is in the BCOKAS03xxxx range. I thought I read that this range has WIFI troubles, while Asus Singapore clearly stated that they would only bring in fixed devices. I am not sure though, and so far wifi seems to work ok except for the occasional drop (as in; the wifi dies completely, and then recovers again).

Overall pretty happy. Hope due time those minor issues will be fixed. I do not like the way Asus has treated their customers in this case. All the issues and now the 1920 version...in Europe they did announce a 3G version that is underway.

-- i'm fine with the size, this TP solve the limitation i've on my SGS 2..
-- about lower volume sound -- thats is new but i guess its should be ok
-- sync photo and video to Google+, i guess its not TP problem

cant wait to own this..

Wat i mean is, frankly speakin i think that TP is already perfec for me, beautiful design, quad core equiped, wit dockin system dat extend battery life, howeva it hav few issues like gps,wifi n stuff..

As for t700, asus might hav solve all d prob mention but sacrifice the design.

This wat i mean for nothin is perfect.

Like my ipad 2, altho the scrollin is so smooth, for me i got bored already lookin at it, all apps only in the screen, no widget.. also i hv to connect to itune to transfer music, n it cant play .flv,mkv n many more video format.
