The first thing I will talk about is the specs of the ASUS Tablet.
This baby runs on the new android 3.2 and is very up to date. Actually when I bought it and took it home, i was pleasantly shocked when there was a new update available so fast. One of the VERY minor set backs is that you may have an update out of box, but you are not able to update until your battery is 50 percent charged. But after the battery is 50% charged the update installs in around 15 minutes. This tablet also includes a NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 processor and 1GB of RAM. The processor is a dual core so it can easily cover any task you can find. So with the dual core processor and the 1GB of RAM this tablet is very fast and runs smooth. The battery life on this tablet is great, one of the best i seen in a long time. It last anywhere from 8 hours to 5 hours on a single charge depending on what you do on it.
The best feature of this tablet is that you can also buy a keyboard for it that also adds 9 hours to the battery life. Both battery charge at the same time when the tablet is docked into the keyboard. The keyboard also has a BUILT IN MOUSE! This is the only tablet that has a mouse standard with the keyboard. The keyboard also has function keys for android short cuts. They keyboard is only 150.00 dollars but I have found it cheaper at a few places online.
You also get a choice of hard drive space, either 16GB or 32GB built in with plenty of space for all your games, music and videos. You are also able to add up to 32GB with a Micro SD Card. The 16GB tablet costs only 399.99 and the 32GB version is only 499.99. So either way you save 100 to 300 dollars off the other brands. This tablet has built in Wireless N and built in Bluetooth V2. Now the speed of the internet on this tablet is just as fast as using a laptop or desktop and at times may even be faster since a few websites pop up as mobile versions. I have not yet figured out how to make facebook go to the full version site instead of the mobile version but that is a minor issue and is easily fixed by click on full site on the bottom of the page.
I have not tested the bluetooth to transfer data yet but I do know the wifi runs great, being able to remote control my laptop with no lag. Speaking of remote control, this tablet comes with a free app called splashtop, allowing you to remote control your laptop or desktop from anywhere. (To remote control your computer from outside of your wireless network you have to enble access from the computer in the splashtop control on the computer.)
You are also able to use a great app called MYCLOUD, which with it you can access all of your available music, videos, and other documents.
There is also a 10.1 inch LED screen that is scratch resistant. Even though the screen is scratch resistant, it is still a fingerprint magnet and can still get minor scuffs. I would strongly recommend getting a screen protector to protect the screen. The screen is also fairly bright and has good view outside. I heard about a few people complaining about light bleeding from the sides but i didn't see that on mine. But if you do receive one that bleeds light, take it back to the store and exchange it for another one.
The tablet has built in GPS, so you can use google maps as a free navigator. But the GPS will only work if their is a clear view to the sky(window or by being outside). They also have some neat navigator features, like instead of picking your route by car you can pick a bike or even a walking route. The walking route took 18 dats to get to a friends house but i dont think it included sleep into the time.
The tablet has one speaker on the left side that puts out pretty good sound, loud enough that i could here it pretty clearly but not to loud that my neighbors would complain.
Games run very nice and smooth on this tablet. I was able to play games pretty easily with out issues and with out screen compatibility issues. It also handles HD content very well.
The bottom line is that this tablet is great deal and works great. It is also perfect for also anyone and easy to learn and use. If you have any question, just ask and I will do my best to answer them.
