Asus EEE Pad Transformer with Docking Keyboard - Nargis - 03-16-2012
So i primarily bought this tablet for use when i travel to India this summer, since turning on my phone would run my data up sky high. This way i could talk to my parents and keep in touch.
I have had it for a couple days and this is what i think about it so far. mind you, i will give my reivew based on the things that matter to me.

LOOKS:
- its bronze in color
- it has a textered feel to the exterior
- looks sleek
i chose it bc it wouldnt slip out of my easy like when i held the Ipad2..this is a solid piece of equipment and looks durable...LOOKS durable.
the docking keyboard has the same bronze exterior colour.

Its Andriod based.
there are no word applications on this thing except for POLARIS Office that comes predownloaded.
you can download any other word program from the Andriod Market, but it doesnt have the complete functionality of the full MS Office version. That is what i had wanted initially but i have gotten used to this version and its okay.
the machine itself is ver responsive meaning that if you click on something...it responds very quickly, no wait time etc.
Swipe capability is great.
Viewing movies and or videos are clear and the sound is great
i think the Ipad has better graphics overall, but the Asus still does a fantastic job.

i play Ninja Chicken and Angry Birds on it and its great!
to detach and attach the tablet from the keyboard is very easy - sort of just 1-2-3 click.
i have 16GB Wifi version only.
tethering to my Andriod cellphone is very easy - just by downloading an app and i am good to go.

the only thing that bothers me about this tablet is that if the battery runs out. you cannot charge it with the USB connection to another computer or use another plug adapter
You MUST USE THE ASUS ADAPTER in order for it to charge from its dead state back to life.
i figured that one out yesterday. After googling, i realized from some Andriod Forums - this is normal with this tablet. not sure that i like that aspect.

Sweet. I like your pros and cons review. BTW, I heard Microsoft will be releasing an Office App for iPad and Android devices so that will solve your office problems.

FYI these things dont come with instruction manuals anymore and i had to google most of the things i wanted to know
like when i am typing, the mouse pad thingy is hypersensitive and i couldnt firgure out how to turn it off...i had to google that - the answer was so simple....theres a button at the top of the keyboard that toggles the mouse on and off
