The second-gen Transformer is a clear improvement over the original, and is the best 10-inch, mid-range Android tablet you can buy right now.
Read the full review →Conclusion: We like it
With the earlier models in its Transformer series, Asus managed to redefine the Android tablet, by adding an optional keyboard dock that turned the tablets into pseudo-laptops. The dock is back with the Transformer Pad 300, along with a lower price. At $379, it undercuts the iPad 2 by $20, and the $399 version has double the storage capacity of the iPad 2 at a comparable price. With a great display, good performance, the availability of the keyboard dock, and its competitive price, the Transformer Pad 300 is the best option right now for anyone who wants a 10-inch Android tablet. But unless you really prefer Android over iOS, or must have that keyboard, you're probably still better off spending your $399 on an iPad 2.

Read the full review →Is the Transformer Pad 300 a laptop replacement tablet? No, but it’s darn close. There are still some limitations to content creation, ... but if you’re happy with the kind of productivity that apps offer, this is actually a good laptop alternative.
Read the full review →The Transformer Pad 300 is more than capable of standing toe-to-toe with the best Android tablets out there, and it even comes at a pretty decent price.
Read the full review →Synopsis: There are two kinds of tablets. Toys and legitimate desktop replacements. This is a mid-level latter, with high end appeal. I got to play with one of these over a few days. Asus is offering this as a mid-level tablet, but honestly they could market it as a durable alternative to a high...
Read the full review →A great, affordable Android tablet, with keyboard dock. Asus did a good job in keeping bloatware to a minimum and letting Android's native features shine through. The physical keyboard attachment and trackpad work very well with the Android OS, making it one of the best netbooks I've ever used....
Read the full review →when i bought this i thought i could use it for most of the things i would use a laptop for. turns out the keyboard is considerably smaller than a normal one, and the right shift key is really hard to press. also, android 4.0 is really buggy. lots of glitches, i would recommend staying on...
Read the full review →The tablet is really great and actually, it is perfect for me. It is lightweight, very compact and easy to handle. The additional dock serves as a typing aid, additional battery life and a stand for me -- so I don't really mind it giving an extra bulge and weight. And the product is still...

Read the full review →One of the best 260.99 full size with full features tabs. in a sea of overpriced 499.99 tablets.
Read the full review →Nothing not to love. Only thing that could be better is a higher resolution, which is coming soon anyway.
Read the full review →I like this tablet. It's not perfect. However, sometimes it is really laggy just even navigating through the app drawer. Hopefully, future updates will change that. I wish that it felt a little more durable. There is some flex when you push on the back.

Asus's proprietary software 'Polaris' is simply fantastic... anything in any google drive any account is there (on or off line)... if you told me I wouldn't have the options as one does in...
Read the full review →This my second android tablet. It is solidly built, light and has great display. With the included keyboard additional SD slot and USB port are excellent.
