i hate Apple, how does that sound?

jokes aside, not everybody is suited for Mac OS X, or vice versa...

Well said. I myself have problems when people tell me to use their Mac for whatever reason
I feel like a computer illiterate person because I'm not familiar with it a single bit. No idea how to even turn it off..

Yeah, the 3G-capable Transformer Prime would be able to make up for the lack of GPS perhaps?
I guess not having a GPS is still okay la since most ppl already have a Garmin/Papago GPS nowadays
Which brings to the question, how to people use a 10" tablet as a GPS anyway...

it did initially right? ya due to the fact that their engineers couldnt make things right, so there's the usual SOP, remove the feature officially. That's the easiest escape route for them. that's why i'm hoping for a replacement model with fixed GPS.

Added on January 9, 2012, 3:16 pmit should be there despite whether we need to use it or not. It will come in handy when you least expect to use it. Furthermore, it was stated initially in the spec, but due to the fact that it'd be a an expensive things for them to recall all those shipped-out-Primes, they decided to remove it officially from the spec. Just a simple word, 'officially' and it's solved. this where that fanboyism takes part. Asus is putting hopes on those fanboys to make up some excuses for their failure to make everything's right in the retail unit. and guess what, no price deduction with removed GPS. Oh, i see Asus is starting to pave a way to become just like Apple. no, i wont be tricked by this marketing shit. I wont hate them, because they produce wonderful products, but be a smart user, they still ask you to pay the price even with lowered spec. No no no, not for me at least.

what i meant was, a better model of the same Prime with a slight modification to the all-aluminum chassis that the current Prime has for better GPS reception. I believe Asus ain't that stupid, right?

Can we just poke a hole at the back to improve signal quality? hehe

Added on January 9, 2012, 3:42 pmI have to admit I was a bit surprised that the GPS problem has been overlooked during QC... its kind of weird since it's no small problem
But its still so damn good to resist haha

ya, that one i cant deny. for the current markets of the tablets, Prime is really a real-world Transformer, a beast, a king, a sultan of all tablets lollll. only cacat a bit but still powerfool.

in b4 wacomouse suggests Alienware-made tablets somewhere in the near future.

Eh, I remembered there was an article saying a manufacturer was actually looking at designing tablets for gaming, was it Razer?

Update: wait, I think it was Crytek saying they're planning games for tablets haha

honestly i think Nvidia and Qualcomm are already working on that... especially NV who already have the know-how to attract game developers to work with them...

Acer Iconia A700 added... Quad-core, 1080p tablet

Toshiba Excite X10 added... Thinnest 10" tablet so far ~

this year will definitely be a year full of attractive choices. gotta get myself a quad-core tab, hope we will be spoilt with lots of choices. When there's a choice, there's a competition and I hope we'll get some pretty good spec tab with attractive prices.

My wish now is, to get Asus TP with Win8 or a better spec Xiaomi Win8, if any.

Wow, I'm also looking for something like the TF Prime running on W8~ hehe, and good news is that Asus is looking into it: http://blog.laptopmag.com/asus-2012-tablet...sed-this-year-2

wow damn nice

But but... I prefer sheer power over mobility lor~

MSI GT783 with Nvidia GTX580M, gooding?
http://blog.laptopmag.com/msi-announces-co...e-580m-graphics

Still no new 13'' powerhouse?

Why no something cool like Real steel phone -__-

Yalo, its sad.... its something I'll be very interested in as well

Gimme a 15" lappy that's slim and light enough and yet able to contain the goodies with it~
