Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 (16/32)

This thing is simply amazing; its a solid all around tablet with no flimsy feel what-so-ever in any way.
Based purely off its technical specs, solid design and highly customizable OPEN Android OS many
users have simply stated they would have paid more for it. And if you have been wanting a PC
that runs android, this is it; the docking station is simply seamless and amazing.
If you do not want to buy that, it will still take a keyboard and mouse easily "usb or bluetooth".
The mouse cursor shows up instantly, and keyboards work flawlessly; what does that mean?
Simply put, its a laptop/netbook at this point. With additions like quickoffice, mail, firefox, messaging
and more; you can be as productive on it as a laptop as well. The only disadvantage is that its
a tablet "you need to get it to stand up somehow is what i mean". I typically use a 8x11 picture
stand, like the one pictured here, and it actually works really well.








You of course can use a myriad of iPad stands as well, as the size is pretty close.
Heres the laptop conversion docking station.




Its pretty fantastic too by the way, other then android instead of windows; you cant tell its a tablet.
Its a tegra2 system, so like all tegra2's it has a dual core processor, 3d video rendering and a speed
comparable to  mid range laptops. And with unlimited cloud asus storage, your good2go!
The batteries are 10hours rated, and in 8 hours we couldnt drain it. so we expect it to be 9-10
hours as advertized.
