So in that sense the TF101 apart from its cheaper price when comparing with iPad2, it's pretty powerful.īut again, when it comes to the look-n-feel ipad2. still it can't even play HD videos of 1080p. Because even after Apple claiming about its GPU being, what 9x times faster was it?. Sporting a HDMI 1.3a port, the Transformer can connect to a HDTV and 5.1 surround sound system, delivering an enhanced multimedia experience." Although to be honest, Apple's iPad2 is not as impressive as its predecessor. "Powered by the NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 dual-core processor, the Transformer browses the web at blazing speeds, providing a snappier response time and better performance when multi-tasking.
well it kinda impressed me with that Tablet PC and the "dock" thing :).Īnd if you're wondering about its ability to render HD videos directly into your huge TV screen, well according to Asus, TF101 can do it pretty easily, quoting. But the reason that I choose to write about. And the Asus application Launcher is also embedded into the Honeycomb as well.Īnd as said, guys/gals this is not a review, because I haven't bought it or anything.
SD card reader to the right corner and since it has a powerful battery embedded to the dock itself, after attaching it with the Tablet, you should be able to expand the default 9 hours into an impressive 16 hours! (although these values may differ since these are just what the Asus claims).Īnd apart from the Android Honeycomb interface, Asus gives a UI of its own called Waveshare by using which you can access Asus's online services such as MyNet, M圜loud, etc with ease. Display - 10.1" LED Backlight WXGA (1280x800) Screen, 10 finger multi-touch support + a scratch resistant glass (for all you "long fingernail" ladies :D).
Has the ability to comfortably play HD videos around 1080p (resolution level). Comes with the Nvidia Tegra 2 (a GPU that's especially designed to run on Mobile devices, performance + low power consumptions, etc) Dual-Core CPU that runs around 2 Ghz. Anyhow after reading few reviews and the official product page here are the main features and my personal thought about it. Asus has been producing their "Eee" family personal computers for sometime now but their "Eee Pad" which resembles "Eee version" of Tablet PCs are something new to the consumers.Īnd to be honest, I haven't purchased it and has no idea whether it we'll be able to run GNU/Linux distributions, considering the fact that it runs the Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
When Google boasts about their Chrome Netbooks, Asus on the other hand has come up with "something" that has.įor no particular reason (other than their excellent portability) for sometime now I've been searching for a Tablet PC that comes with a reasonable price + the possibility of running running GNU/Linux easily. The catchy thing about the X101 is actually its price. And as a result yesterday, Asus officially released one their latest EeePC netbooks called X101 which runs MeeGo as the operating system. It wasn't durable and ready at that time but now after several years the MeeGo mobile OS (funded by Intel, Maemo and Nokia) is looking pretty awesome and strong!. perfect companion for our busy daily schedule.Īlthough I can't really remember the name but the first few EeePC came with an Chinese Linux distribution which was actually a mixture of applications/toolkits (you know the file manager was Konqueror and had several GTK written apps, etc).Īnd those were the "early" days of the powerful Mobile OS platform known as MeeGo. They consume less power, has a longer battery life, light in weight. When Asus launched the EeePC "project" it was a hit because EeePC gave users the ability to purchase low-end netbooks with lots of features for a very reasonable price (not all of them are cheap, anyhow).
