> I know 1 guy with an Asus transformer
I don't know why people are making such a big deal about Samsung tablets and Kindle Fires but completely ignoring the Asus Transformer line. The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity is an amazing tablet with good hardware that runs stock Jelly Bean.
I've had a Transformer Prime for almost a year and it's been a great device, but it's like no one has even heard of it. It's a really weird situation, perhaps caused by a lack of advertising (much like the Galaxy Nexus).
- manojlds 14y agoNah, people were going crazy about the Prime pre-launch. And Asus messed it up with delays and poor WiFi, non-existant GPS and then srewing customers who did buy it by announcing "better" model soon after.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI kept hearing about these issues, but never saw them myself. Maybe those people having the issues were holding the tablet wrong? Besides, the Transformer Pad Infinity hasn't had these issues, has it?
- bergie 14y agoI didn't have any major problems with the Transformer Prime. GPS on that big tablet is pretty much useless anyway, and the battery life given my the keyboard was awesome on conference trips. Here is a liveblog I wrote with vim on the Prime: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/symfony-live/ http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/symfony-live/ I even had a Ubuntu chroot on the machine for Node.js projects, and if the keyboard hadn't been so bad that could be now my primary computer. Instead, I switched it to Nexus 7 and again do any longer writing on my 11" MBA...
