Economic Research: Transformer Prime Tablet

Transformer Prime Tablet

In December of 2011 Asus released the successor to its popular Transformer Android tablet, dubbed the Transformer Prime. Sporting the first quad core processor for any tablet, Asus’s incredibly popular keyboard dock and Google Android’s latest operating system called Ice Cream Sandwich, there was a lot I was looking forward to with this device. As a full time photographer that frequently travels the globe, I have been looking for a tablet or laptop to meet my needs. While I own a 2011 11″ Apple Mac Book Air, I typically do not do any serious editing on the road. While I do thoroughly enjoy the MBA, it has a pretty horrible battery life (less then 5 hours), which doesn’t cut it for me. After using an iPad & iPad 2 plus various other Android tablets, I was still left wanting more functionality and practicality. While the Transformer Prime is certainly not perfect, it has been the closest I have found to a true travel laptop replacement. I received the 32gb Transformer Prime in the grey amethyst color as well as the matching keyboard dock.
