Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime: price of the quad-core tablet

Slim but with great capabilities,Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the new tablet from Asus, with removable Asus docking keyboard but above all with quad-core nVidia Tegra 3 processor, an absolute novelty not only for a device from this company but for the entire tablet sector globally.
The operating system isAndroid 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the screen is a 10.1-inch Super IPS LED-backlit multitouch with Gorilla Glass warranty, it has two cameras (the main one is positioned on the back and is 8 Megapixel with LED flash) and very compact dimensions: 8.3 millimeters at its thickest, all enclosed in only 586 grams of weight.
Handy, discreet, light yet powerful and durable, starting with the battery life that promises good performance – we are talking about a good 12 hours – especially when combined with those of the mobile docking which could increase continuous usage to 18 hours, without the need for a recharge cycle.
Certainly thanks to the processor which ensures greater speed but reduced consumption, with its 4 cores and the GeForce GPU supported by a whopping 12 cores.
It is therefore a high-end tablet that will be sold starting December in America (in Italy it will arrive at the beginning of 2012), in a 32 GB or 64 GB version, in both cases with 1 GB of RAM.
The Transformer Prime keyboard deserves its own space, because it is not just a “tail” or a mere functional accessory for more comfortable typing: it is a small processor in itself, given that its internal memory can be expanded and used for storage.
The keyboard has a price to consider as extra, it is not included in the basic package.
Speaking of figures, let’s quantify: in the United States the price of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime will be $499 (32 GB) or $599 (64 GB).
The docking station – keyboard, on the other hand, will be sold at a price of 149 Euro, with a USB 2.0 port, SD card reader, and a second battery.

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime including the docking keyboard is available at the price of €599 (VAT included).
