I want to purchase the Eee Pad Transformer but after some use reviews about the tablet being DOA, I am wondering whether I should buy it. Does anyone know about the type of service and general quality
ASUS is generally a good brand. Based on the reviews on the Eee pad it seems to be a reliable product for the most part:

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Review A review on Asus' latest Android powered tablet, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer For more tech reviews, news, and ...
The Toshiba Thrive may seem fashionably late to the Android Honeycomb tablet party, but considering the fate of certain other rushed-to-market tablets, perhaps there was a good reason for that. Toshiba endeavored to give users features missing from many other offerings in order to stand out, including full-size ports, a removable back cover, and a user-replaceable battery. However, there are some other, less positive, ways the Thrive stands out: such as being thicker and heavier than superstar tablets from Samsung and Apple.
With Toshiba laptops, the lack of visual panache is more than made up for by powerful machines that work hard and last a long time. Will that be the case with the Thrive?
Looking for a new tablet? Why not start with our top rated selections? These tablets are a rank of the top five products based on review scores by the PC World Australia editorial team.
Although the tablet market is dominated by Apple's iPad, there are plenty of alternatives. Perhaps the best at the moment is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which remains in the middle of an Apple-instigated lawsuit. Google's Android "Honeycomb" platform dominates our August top rated list. Along with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, our top five list for this month includes the Motorola Xoom, the Acer Iconia A500 and the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.

The keyboard mechanism is made from metal and feels a little rigid to operate at first, but after you’ll get the hang of it, it will work fine. The advantage of the very tough mechanism is that it will resist for a longer time than plastic gimmicks. The keyboard is pretty wide, but keys are a little cramped and people without too much experience with netbooks might find typing a little frustrating at times.
The keyboard is made from plastic and feels a little soft in some areas, but considering this is a delicate gadget, you couldn’t really expect roughbook degree toughness. The Slider runs on a Tegra 2, 1 GHZ dual core chip and comes with 1 GB of RAM, which for now is maybe the strongest platform for a tablet. The tablet can deal with gaming, browsing and any other type of app you might throw at it.
Asus pushes further in front in tablet market and brings Eee pad transformer, which offers interesting features. What do you do with all the Transformer.
A review on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. A tablet that can be transformed into a laptop with the docking of a keyboard. Portable and Practical. Easily edit Powerpoint, Word, and Excel files with ease.
It's also lightly heavier than some of the other tablets around. At 680g it's still not exactly heavy, and with the keyboard dock attached it feels about the same weight as a suitable netbook.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Review - Best Android Tablet PC
Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a tablet PC and it runs on Android Honeycomb OS.
There are many different Android Tablets on the market today, and it may seem hard to decide which one suits your needs the best. Most of these tablets are very expensive, which makes shopping for one slightly difficult. ASUS wants to change all of that, with their new tablet, the Eee Pad Transformer. What’s special about this tablet, aside from the detachable keyboard dock, is the price. The Transformer is available for $399.99 for the 16GB WiFi model, and $499.99 for the 32GB WiFi model.
The detachable keyboard is what truly sets the Transformer apart from the other tablets. The dock will set you back an extra $150, but when you learn all of the features, it’s well worth it. Not only does the keyboard make typing a breeze, but it also houses a second battery, which can essentially double the battery life of the tablet. I picked one up a few weeks ago, read on to see my full review of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.

Gradually a decent selection of Android Honeycomb tablets are finding their way onto the market, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer being one of these such devices. The current three leading devices would be the Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and this, but what makes it different? What would make you choose the Asus over Motorola or Samsung? They all would appear to have similar specs, design (oh my god, someone sue someone!) and dimensions, so why might you choose the Transformer?
Read on and we’ll see if we can answer this question.
Design
Despite what Apple say, there are only so many ways a tablet can look, but having said that, I feel Asus have slipped up a little here. There are a few points I’m not keen on with the Transformer and I’ll start with the sharp edges. When holding a Xoom or Tab, it feels comfortable, nice rounded edges fit into your hand. The Transformer seems to feel ‘pointy’ and sharp, almost like when you have heavy shopping bags and the handle cuts into your hands. It’s not as extreme as that, but there’s a marked difference from the Tab for example.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Hardware & Design
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has 10 inches IPS capacitive touchscreen display. The IPS technology found in Apple iPad 2 is applied here which provides practically a better viewing angles and images are much sharper. It comes with multi-touch input, accelerometer sensor for auto rotate in landscape and vertical mode, Gyro sensor and ASUS waveshare user interface.
The keyboard dock which has to be purchase separately priced at $ 80. As soon as you connect keyboard to it, it automatically recognizes its purpose as the laptop mode. The keyboard when attached to it, makes it look like laptop. The keyboard delivers a fantastic typing speed and keys are modified to accommodate Google’s Honeycomb offering with home button and a row of function keys.
...Heading on to their display, we acquisition two 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreens, with the aforementioned 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, so it’s acutely a tie in this category.
Time to see how the two slates analyze in agreement of cameras installed. The Eee Pad Transformer comes able with a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 1.2MP front-facing ballista for video calls. Meanwhile, the Xoom appearance a 5MP camera in the back, able of recording video at 720p, and addition 2-megapixel camera for video calling, in the front, so the aberration is about unnoticeable.
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Review: Assemble!
The Eee Pad Transformer, however, comes in an elegant and unique shade of brown that ASUS calls Espresso. In addition to this, the backside of the tablet, as well as the underside of the dock, is coated with a geometric star pattern.

Get an Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet for $349
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is pretty slick on its own, but it gets even better when you add the optional keyboard/docking station. Wow. Quite the hubbub this weekend over the discontinued-and-then-price-slashed HP TouchPad, which buyers gobbled up at

HTC Jetstream Video Review and First Impressions
The display is one of the best we've seen on an Android tablet, and it's definitely a bit more warm and saturated than my Asus Eee Pad Transformer. It rivals the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but it lacks Samsung's signature hyper-saturation.
