Yes, there is such thing as an Android Honeycomb netbook. Now, stop pinching yourself and listen.
ASUS, the venerable computer manufacturer behind the popularity of the ultraportable netbook, decided to one-up competitors once again – this time with the innovative ASUS EEE Pad Transformer. The latest Android tablet from ASUS packs a great set of features, while striking a chord at a very affordable price. In fact, it can be argued that this ASUS Transformer packs in at a lower purchase price than its obvious competitor, the Apple iPad 2. It can also be argued that the Transformer packs features similar to that of the Motorola Xoom – but again, at a lower price.
Alright, let’s get down to the major features; what is to expect from the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer? To start with, there’s the 10.1-inch IPS display, which provides superb picture quality. Then there’s the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, which speeds up the tablet experience in terms of web browsing and gaming. Also, there’s the Android OS Honeycomb for tablet optimization.
But the ASUS Transformer’s secret weapon lies in its optional keyboard dock. This beneficial accessory is a full-pledged keyboard with its own trackpad, along with two USB ports and a 4-in-1 SD card reader. When this dock is plugged in with the tablet, the ASUS Transformer goes from tablet mode to laptop mode; what happens next is the disabling of the touch-screen to make way for the keyboard and mouse pointer, with the mouse cursor immediately appearing when docked.
It comes as a great surprise to Android fans and tablet lovers, upon seeing what the Transformer can do. With its mentioned set of advantages that sets itself apart from the competitors, this ASUS product is one such device that people will seriously remember. Once again, the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer.
