Asus EEE TF101 Transformer tablet launch
forgive me if its already posted:
so it's launching tomorrow
anyone considering getting this?
looks decently spec'd up to 9.5 hours battery time (16 with dock!)
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_...sformer_TF101/ http://www.laptopmag.com/review/tabl...mer-tf101.aspx
might just do it since its priced at 399(wifi only)/499 [149 for the dock]
but may just wait for the tab2

Pick one up for me, willya? I'll pay you back eventually
Seriously, looks pretty trick... although with my need for Windows for work stuff, I'd love to see a PC design like this.

I was going to pick up one when I go back to Hong Kong in the summer... until my laptop started to die.

This is currently the cheapest dual core full featured 10" tablet. The keyboard is optional anyways. Other than the Viewsonic G tablet this is an awesome deal.

What I dont understand was why Asus didn't use USB 3.0 or Bluetooth 3.0 for this model / the keyboard dock. It's been out for quite sometime now, and its seen across their line of netbooks.

Is USB 3.0 really necessary on the tablet? I mean it'll only have the 16gb plus whatever microsd you install on it. At those sizes I don't think speed is that much of a concern.

North American models will only have "location-base GPS" which depend on your wifi.

I'm no expert, nor have I got the chance to get my hands on an Eee Pad yet. But I'm reading it from here:

It's a bit more expensive in Hong Kong (4000HKD = $490 CAD for 16gb) if you buy the machine on its own, but the buying both pieces (ie: with the keyboard dock) as a package is about 4800HKD = $590 CAD. Keep in mind too there's no sales tax in Hong Kong!

I just confirmed with ASUS, the US version does have GPS hardware. Maps seems to require an active WiFi connection to use GPS however, which is why I originally assumed it wasn't present. My mistake, I've corrected the review
Take care,

Because it is choppy.
Sources state playback choppiness is due to software, but at this point, it's all speculation.

fuck I'd want something like this but 10" is actually too small for my netbook usage, but a 12" would be too large for a tablet

Shouldn't be difficult. Hardware is essentially the same as my Viewsonic G Tablet and the folks at XDA have had Ubuntu running on it for months now
