Video: Asus Transformer Tablet Review

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are other tablet computers out there other than the iPad, Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. The Kindle and Nook aside, the iPad remains the large fish in an expanding pond.

One of the newer tablets on the market is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Asus is known for making cheap netbooks for those who need a laptop, without all the frills and gimmicks of a Macbook or PC.

Here’s a video review from USA Today that shows both the good and bad of the Transformer. I was pretty impressed with it. However, it ain’t no iPad. I’ll let you judge for yourself.

The accompanying article gives a rundown of the Transformer:

$499 for 32GB or $599 for 64GB; Optional mobile dock accessory is $149

•Pro. Slim and attractive. Powerful quad-core processor. Impressive battery. Bright screen. Optional dock adds keyboard, extra ports and longer battery life. Upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich

•Con. Relatively few apps. Some bugs.

Not bad. If you’re looking for an alternative tablet, this might be worth considering. The long battery life and optional keyboard dock make it an enticing choice.
