Asus Eee Pad Transformer Preview

by Dave Altavilla — Monday, May 02, 2011, 03:00 PM EDT

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet is one of the more interesting Android tablets on the market in that it has a keyboard docking station that essentially allows it to convert to an Android 3.0 Honeycomb-based netbook on the fly. Add to that a powerful dual-core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and a reasonable MSRP of $399 (just the tablet, 16GB version) and the Transformer looks to be one of the best options currently for Android tablet solutions, for WiFi only solutions.

We're prepping a full, detailed performance review here in the coming days but we thought it would be nice to offer a teaser here with our video review and a cut from the benchmark suite of test numbers we're running.
