“The new offering distinguishes itself from the sea of tablets with its aggressive pricing and an optional accessory that easily transforms it into a notebook,” Huang said.
Transformer Prime comes with Android Honeycomb 3.2 Operating System, which can be free upgraded to the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
Other salient features include a MicroSD Card Reader, Micro HDMI port and eight GB life time ASUS Web storage space as well as an eight MP rear auto-focus camera with LED flash.
