There are many reasons the Android-based Asus Transformer Prime looks appealing. In an early review, PCWorld's Melissa Perenson called it "one of the best tablet values today." Here are five reasons why your next work fpcbp42 laptop could be a Transformer tablet.
1. Portability
Whether it’s taking notes or accessing important lifebook a6110 battery documents while in the field, checking into email, or working from lifebook c1020 battery home, there is a need for portable computing. As it’s lifebook e8410 battery only 10.35 by 7.12 by 0.33 inches, and weighing just 1.29 pounds, the Transformer is even more portable than the smallest of laptops, yet its 10-inch, 1280x800 pixel display is large enough for doing real work.
2. Flexibility
Tablets aren’t often the first choice for lifebook t5010 battery extensive text input. Using an onscreen keyboard for a lifebook t4215 battery quick text message is fine, but even entering a long URL, much less writing pages of text, can be a pain. For those who prefer a physical keyboard, the Transformer Prime’s included keyboard dock is a welcome addition. You can carry the lifebook t1010 battery tablet alone, or just connect the Transformer with the hp 484170-001 battery keyboard and it becomes the hardware equivalent of a laptop. The dock includes not only a keyboard but also a touchpad, as well as a USB port and a card reader. The tablet alone weights 1.18 pounds, and becomes only 2.47 pounds with the keyboard--barely heavier than Apple’s tiny 11-inch, 2.38-pound Macbook Air.
3. Longevity
Sometimes you need to work all day without access to a power outlet. Laptop makers promise long battery life, but in common usage, most won’t provide more than five hours, considerably shorter than the hp 484171-001 battery average work day. Tablets with mobile operating systems are designed with battery life as a core consideration. Asus says the Transformer battery will last 9.5 hours playing 720p video. You can extend fujitsu t1010 battery this to 18 hours when connected to the Prime keyboard dock, allowing true all-day usage. Stay tuned to PCWorld’s review for full battery test results.
4. Software
If you work on the road, you probably already use lifebook t730 battery cloud-based apps like Google Docs or Office 365. There’s no need to change, as those apps work fine on the Transformer. If you don’t have network access, Asus includes Polaris Office, and other apps like fujitsu t730 battery Quickoffice HD Pro are available in the market, which allows viewing and editing of word, spreadsheet, and presentation files that are stored on the tablet itself. For the software you need to use that only runs on PC or Mac, the Transfomer includes MyDesktop software, but the market also includes many other apps which allow remote control of a PC or Mac as well.
5. Performance
It doesn’t matter what the specs are on lifebook p1610 battery paper if the actual performance of a device is slow as molasses. The Transformer has Nvidia's 1.3-GHzquad-coreTegra 3 processor, making it the first quad-core tablet. Much of the software that runs on Android hasn’t yet been fujitsu p1610 battery optimized to take advantage of this level of power, but it already performed well in PCWorld’s early tests.
Tablets are still young, and the Transformer isn’t perfect, but for what it offers, many workers could toss their laptops in exchange for a lifebook s6120 battery tablet and not look back. The Transformer promises to get PA3465U-1BRS even better as an upgrade to Andoid 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, is promised. Performance will also improve as more apps are optimized to take advantage of the quad-core processor. Would the Transformer meet your business needs?
