ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Review by Taylor

We have now had several tablets in the house here at PhoneDog and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer is one of the cheapest and most well-rounded of them all. Still in an unproven market, the tablet world has yet to see a serious competitor under the $500 mark until the Transformer. It is available in two different versions: the 16GB model for $400 or 32GB for $500.

Although it comes with a smaller price tag than what we're used to seeing, the Transformer is no joke.The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report.

Is the Transformer enough for people to being taking Android seriously in the tablet market? Is this form factor something we can expect to see more of?
Design & Features

Autobots, roll out! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

When I ordered the Transformer, I honestly expected a poor to low quality product. I had skimmed some other reviews just to see some initial thoughts on build quality and if the device was even worth buying. When it came in the mail, I ripped open the box to a device with surprisingly high build quality. Surprisingly, the Transformer is made of high quality materials, has awesome specifications, and can easily hang with its more expensive counterparts.

The Transformer is big. At 10.7-inches wide by 6.7-inches tall, it is both wider and taller than the Motorola XOOM and it looks plain silly in portrait mode. The face of the device is fitted with a 10.1 LED (1280 by 800 pixel resolution) display that is covered by Gorilla Glass, a 1.3-megapixel resolution camera for video chatting,It pays to go to professionals with bestlight a proven track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully completed projects. and a light sensor. Along the bronze metal band around the edge of the device, you will find a 3.5mm headphone jack, a mini HDMI out port, a speaker, and a (working) microSD card slot on the right. The bottom edge holds the proprietary ASUS charging port and two holes that are used to securely latch onto the keyboard dock. On the left edge of the device are the volume rocker, power button, and another speaker. Alone on the back of the device is the 5-megapixel shooter. The back is also made of a brown texturized plastic that allows for good grip and a solid feel.

The keyboard dock is made primarily out of the same materials as the Transformer. The top half (the side with the actual keyboard) is made of metal and colored to match the bronze strip around the edge of the tablet. The keys are raised and separated, making it easy to navigate without looking and very easy to get accustomed to – which is necessary, because it's a considerable bit smaller than your average keyboard. The bottom half of the keyboard is covered by the same material as the backside of the tablet, and it has four rubber feet on each corner to keep it from sliding. The right edge of the dock holds one USB port for external storage and a full SD card slot to easily share those pictures directly from your camera. The left edge has the charging port (same proprietary port that the tablet uses to charge) and another USB port.

When the two devices are attached, the Transformer looks very similar to any other ASUS netbook, open or closed. The only thing that truly gives it away is the large, abnormal hinge, the touchscreen, and the fact that it runs Honeycomb. The tablet, by itself is fairly thin and light. It is almost 13mm thin and it weighs roughly 24oz. Paired with the keyboard, it is twice as thick and heavy. If you are worried about size and weight, the Transformer and its keyboard dock will put this bad boy around the size and weight of a netbook.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. Other than that, the design, look, and feel of this device is just plain sweet.
