Default [INFO] Pretty good review by BusinessInsider

Finally a good review by a trusted source hits, besides engadget's ilovers. The guy seems very impressed with the device and calls it the best tablet out there.

I agree... pretty good review, except for one part:

"The keyboard dock is an interesting accessory, but by no means an essential one."

IMHO, the keyboard dock is *the* killer feature of the Transformer. It makes the Transformer the only tablet that can be used beyond media consumption.

Yeah I agree with you, I will most likely pick one up when I grab my transformer

Nah. Just use bluetooth keyboard on any other tablet out there and you have the same thing (only without the additional ports and bateries, but some tablets have USB ports on them which Transformer doesn't).

If you need a good review go to AnandTech.com
They are the best

I have to disagree. A bluetooth keyboard does not extend and integrate functionality the way the Eee Pad keyboard dock does.

The dock also allows the Transformer to be a proper netbook/laptop, capable of adjusting viewing angles, which makes it more comfortable to use standing up, sitting down, etc., and carry together as one device.

A bluetooth keyboard would also chew up battery life, while the dock _increases_ battery life.

Can't say a bike and a car are the same thing just because they both have wheels.

that's an alright review, however they couldn't even get the name of the device right in the heading, and it's not even their review, check the source at the bottom, they stole it from another site.

QFT. IMHO, there is the Anandtech review and there is everyone else. No one reviews hardware as thorough as they do.
