Official Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Page is Live

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is a cool tablet has we have been following since it was officially unveiled back at the beginning of November. The tablet is expected to land officially in December and one of the steps needed before that official launch happens is for the tablet’s official page to go live. That has now happened with all the details and photos of the Transformer Prime on the Asus website right now.

There is nothing about the tablet price or launch date listed just pics and specs. The price had previously been pegged at $499. We already knew most of this stuff. The tablet will get the Tegra 3 process with four cores inside. The cool part is that it has a power saving more that will turn three of those cores off. That should offer some nice power savings when needed.

We know the tablet will come in gray or gold colors. The rear camera is an 8MP unit with LED flash and a back illuminated CMOS sensor. The keyboard dock will add not only the chiclet QWERTY keyboard, but also another 18 hours of battery life in some instances. The sound uses SonicMaster technology and the tablet will come with apps for content installed.

Wrong, actually Tegra 3 have a fifty core for low comsuption, all four cores shuts down, only working on heavy apps/stuffs.

  don’t preorder it is a waste of time, effort and money. just keep checking either bbuy, newegg, office depot, etc. and call them daily. if you don’t do that you won’t get one for a long time. as the second batch entirely sold out and according to asus another won’t be out until the end of february. i’m so glad to have mine though it was totally worth the trouble i had to go through to get hold of it and the docking station. one minor problem to remember, none of the brick and mortar retailers sell cases that fit the t.prime for that you will need to try say amazon. i don’t recall which etailer i ordered my case from but there are a lot of selections and price ranges to fit anyone’s needs. that said it is truly a great product another reason why when they do hit store shelves they never make it to closing time. forgot too, ics, ice cream sandwich is great and makes a great product even better.
