[Comp] [Merged] Asus Transformer Prime Pre Order at FS/BB/maybe others

[kingofwale]

From what I understand the prime only comes in 32gb and 64gb flavors. $499 for a 32gb, $599 for 64gb.

great tech, but i'm going to wait until i can get both this and dock for those prices.

still not sold on the concept of tablet yet. Got my hands on touchpad for about a month and then sold it

Interesting, as it was ASUS's $399 price on the original that made it so popular.

It looks nice but rather spend $649 on a laptop than it.

Waiting for Win 8 tablets and a retina iPad 3.

+1, one of the reasons the first transformer was so popular after was because it was $100 less than the other android tablets at the time in addition to being in short supply when released

btw, you should add ncix to the list

This will have facial recognition unlock.

The $399 for the original was for 16GB, this is twice that at $499 (for the 32GB model). The price for this product given the specs is very reasonable, even a bargain really.

I would hope windows 8 would be ported to this, I think a developer win 8 should run on it as win 8 runs on the tegra 3 (at least from some videos online...)

For 499 its a great price, twice as good processing and graphics as anything including the ipad 2 or any others, its thinner, beautiful, and its 32 gigs of storage, and 499 is the regular price, after ordering 4 playbooks for parents and sisters Im trying to hold off ordering this for myself yet...

Great, now the first gen Transformer can drop below $300 by early 2012.

+1 dual boot Win8 and ICS. Win8 should work great with Prime + keyboard dock. Add an USB HDD, then I don't need to take my netbook on my next trip.

why not wait for the ipad 3 in your case? I think an important factor should be the OS rather than the hardware itself, both tablets are good enough in term of specs. The transformer prime's got a quad core , which is supposed to be superior, but I highly doubt a typical user will see a big difference in performance. I personally am going for the asus transformer prime, as I already have an iPhone 4 ,and i wanna get a taste of android. Just my 2 cents

why not get a playbook? you can get 2 for less than the price of an ipad2/asus prime

I have an iPhone and love it, however for tablets I think I prefer android. I don't think iOS is as well suited for larger screens. I like both platforms and feel this is my unbiased opinion...

thanks for advice everybody
