So far many have found it to be an excellent paper weight. Good luck on yours might want to rub a 4 leaf clover before you open it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] achuong08:
i use mine to show off :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nevetsvsx:
I use mine for this stuff at the moment:

Work Email via touchdown

Taking notes via evernote

Browsing the web via stock browser (prefer opera but there is no flash in opera on out tablet)

Gaming via shadowgun

Reading news via engadget and news360

Remote controlling my work laptop via Asus slashtop app that came with the prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
So far I have used it for:

-Browsing the interweb

-Facebook

-Evernote

-Netflix

-Youtube

-Email (personal & work)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flipper2006:
A paperweight? How can you say something like that! It's best use is a doorstop:eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdizzle9:
...and see, I figured it'd be too thin for a doorstop?

Seriously though, thanks for the posts. My class on Tuesday doesn't allow laptops, so I'm looking forward to having the prime (without the dock of course). :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
I am a student so main use is to take notes and read (I use ebook textbooks and pdf lecture notes mostly)

Otherwise I use for web browsing, music, movies (hdmi out to tv when at home), casual reading (big grisham fan), hulu, games, skype.

I use mine 99.999% at work so

Movies 50%

Tv Shows 45%

Games 4% (N64 Roms look so sexy on it)

Internet 1%

I use mine to browse the web in bed a lot. It works really nice because the screen can get really dim, which helps put me to sleep at night. It's also nice being able to wake up and have a web browser at your side without having to get up or anything.

I plan on using it for watching movies/tv while in my bed as well. It isn't as fun to watch them on my desktop since my monitor is usually hard to see from my bed.

Of course I use it to game in between my classes and whatnot.

I also plan on using it to take notes in class, but I haven't yet since mine has the rebooting issue, I don't want it to crash on me in class and have me lose all of my stuff and then not be able to take notes while it turns back on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FrameCityJackal:
What kind of class is that if you don't mind sharing?

I use mine for youtube and light gaming

Sad I payed so much and yet use it so little
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
Can I get a job where you work?.. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sectachrome:
I pretty much use mine as a replacement for my laptop. I have a desktop that I rarely use and previously brought home my MacBook Pro from work every night to surf the web from my couch. Now I don't have to lug the laptop back and forth anymore. This was only part of the reason I got it though, the other being that it was a bad ass gadget and I just wanted it. I'm really looking forward to traveling with it next week as well, the size and light weight will be great. The gaming has been a great plus too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clockwork58:
Hate to go off-topic, but ever look at a Livescribe Echo Smartpen. I'm a Project Manager, and it's prob one of the best investments I made recently. I always miss stuff being said while taking down notes, with the pen recording as I write, brilliant. I can go back and review meetings.

livescribe.com - give it a look. There's also software to convert your writing into document text.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sectachrome:
What emulator are you using for the N64 stuff? I tried one before and it didn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Are you using CourseSmart? I bludgeoned my way through last semester using their terrible v1.0 app that was never updated for tablets. They've since released a mobile web app that I assume is their solution for Android.

Still doesn't make me super jealous of their iPad app though.. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdizzle9:
I've actually been a bit surprised to find that half or so of my MBA classes prefer to not have laptops out. This is only the second class that appears to actually be enforcing that preference, however. This particular class is in marketing.

I'm semi familiar with the technology, but the last time I briefly looked into it the technology wasn't at the point where it was practical (or cost effective). The product you referenced looks very interesting, however. I am a product manager in a tech company so I could see how that would be useful. I'll probably look into it more. Thanks.

I use my Prime for everything, just like when I had my OG TF.

-sms via Google Voice

-gaming

-StickIt (watch videos/anime while multitasking)

-study japanese (human japanese app)

-textbooks (coursesmart)

-chemistry journals (mantano reader)

-post stuff to tablified (wordpress)

-hell of a lot of emailing (gmail app)

-news (google currents)

-record lectures (hi-q)

-scan papers/notes (camscanner HD only on samsung appstore)

-video chat & chat 24/7 (google talk, IM+ for skype)

Think thats about it.

Generally, tablets are great for data consumption, not data production.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buddy Revell:
I'll have to check out Camscanner and StickIt. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
First and foremost, it has replaced my PS1, SNES, NES, MegaDrive, N64 (Kinda) and Gameboy Advance :p.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
Indeed. Prime + keyboard dock upgrades it somewhat to making text input more comfortable, of course: not something you'd want to write your next novel on, but enough to make it an alternative to a netbook in my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
The official reason for getting mine was for digital aeronautical charts in the cockpit. Didn't want a 3rd electronic device to carry around so I waited until there was a good flight plan app on android (HATE apple) and a good keyboard so I didn't have to carry my laptop around anymore. As expensive as the prime is, it's much cheaper than paper charts and takes up way less space.

That said, it gets a hell of a lot more use suring the internet, reading forums, and reasponding to text and emails.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
So for me this is the first time i'll be having a mobile device like this. Never owned a laptop or netbook. But i have some great plans for it :)

-Browsing&email&texting the usual stuff (no social networking though - who does that anyway?)

-watching episodes of my favorite shows

-youtube

-gaming, especially emulators! gonna run through on FF7 - or Zelda OOT, havent decided yet! And i'm pretty curious about all the tegra3 games that should come out with gamepad support.

-Note taking in meetings and at uni. This has to be tested first.

-Plugging several monitor devices into the prime and see if and how it works^^ I'll have a pretty big presentation to make in a few months so i'll get the hdmi -> vga adapter and see if this baby works with video projectors and presentation files.

Guess thats about it for the moment. More will come up when i have it. I love to get creative with my devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paga912:
I play a few games on mine and web browse but since I dont have an hd camera I have mainly been using it for the HD video recording of the kids running around and stuff like that so I can just plug it into the tv to watch. The memory and the 16gb mem card I use is more than enough for the things that I have to do. Im loving it so far though.

N64OID

You can get it via Google search or SlideMe app store....

Plus now with the High Texture packages you can get for Zelda and a few other games it REALLY bumps up the visuals

Both Zeldas, Super Smash Brothers, Castlevania , Mario Kart, Mario 64 and a few others have Great High Res Texture packages that make them look amazing... check them out

Browsing, playing videos for the baby, reading stories for the baby (big 10.1 inch screen helps a lot), marketing my wife's cake products to potential customers, reading RSS, daily bible reading, and updating my church's wordpress :-)

I am not embarrassed to say I love using it as a home camera/camcorder. Camcorders/cameras have been such a pain in the ass for me in the past. So instead of buying a REAL camera, I decided to get a laptop replacement.

Nowadays, I'm really only using my laptop to download or stream. Everything else, my Prime does just as well if not better. Other usages:

-Calling/Video chatting

-General browsing

-Light gaming... not much of a gamer

-Sketching

-Netflix

-GPS

I'm using Mupen64Plus AE at the minute but it's very glitchy since it's in beta. It was only 64p though so I can't complain, it should get better anyway. $4.99 is too steep for an emulator that I won't use THAT much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
what gamepad are you using? i tried playing zelda but the ps3 controller does not emulate a 64 controller at all, so i gave up on 64 emulator
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Primary way that I consume e-books, magazines, blogs, newsfeeds, etc.

How I listen to music.

How I program: I both do locally in Vi IMproved and via terminal to development machines.

How I keep in touch and up to date on instant messengers, forums, and social networks.

How I manage notes (Simplenote, _not_ evernote); I even find that undocked is easier than docked for taking notes when I use a PC for something.

My terminal: SSH, Splashtop, VNC, RDP, and Telnet.

9 times out of ten, my email is managed from it, especially at work.

It is also very handy for surfing the web: I will often pick up my tablet rather than change windows/workspaces on PC class hardware.

There are also numerous pluses like CashBase and games.

The only thing I don't do is play Direct3D based PC games on my tablet.

Use Google !

N64OID 2.6 is free if you google it, can find the APK easly...

the newest version 2.7 cost $4.99
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
I use mine mostly to kill time the two hours i commute each day.. That means:

Web browsing

Videos (720 and 1080p tv shows & movies)

Games (at the moment using ScummVM to relive Monkey Island, Day of The Tentacle, etc)

Music

News (using Pulse mostly)

Mail (private and work)

... Or it was the plan using it only when commuting... It has effectively replaced the laptop i used in front og the TV also... :-)

Another great plus is how easy and fast it is to pick up and use and put away again.. Very convenient when commuting. Way faster than the people with laptops i see on the train :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Also use tablet talk (bt connect to android phone to text) a bunch, lets me text while in class and teacher probably thinks I'm typing notes!

I downloaded N64oid 2.6.0 and was having problems with it, can't remember exactly what though. I don't mind supporting a developer who will likely keep bringing out updates which will fix any glitches and compatibility issues over time. Besides, it was only 64p :p.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Pardon my newbness but how do I actually play a game once I install the 2.6 N64 software?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Summdumkid:
My main uses are going to be for having digital textbooks available to me in class. I will also use the dock for note taking in said classes. I'm in nursing school and we are required to have a diagnostic tests text on us at the hospital. There is an app of it, but it costs $50, and I can't find it anywhere for free. I would load up the pdf on my Inspire, but I'm guessing the pdf would read like crap on there.

Besides school, I look forward to reading novels on it, as well as using the HDMI out to watch movies in the living room (roommate's wii runs out of memory while using tversity and cuts off the ending of movies)

I am hoping to use my Prime for something similar. I usually have 10+ journal articles (PDF format) per week to read. Have you had any trouble reading pdfs on a 10.1 screen? I'm worried that there will be a lot of zooming in and out on every page (although some sort of PDF cropping software might help).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eraursls1984:
Thanks, I tried an n64 Rom and it worked like a charm, I think last time I couldn't get fpse working may have been due to the BIOS file (although I downloaded several from different places and couldn't get any to work right)

Mine is constantly by my side,

I fix aeroplanes for a living and after years of harrassing my luddite boss about going mobile, I decided to do something about it. I was going stir crazy constantly driving back across the tarmac to our office to log into our terminals to reference online aircraft manuals. It also took a bit of coaxing the IT dept to allow direct access to a citrix server but the result is a big timesaver. Even the pilots are impressed with me in the cockpit just ripping out a tablet and getting the paperwork done with minimal fuss or delay. The other engineers now want one which means the boss is now doing a cost benfit analysis and with corporate timing that probably means I'll get a work issued 3G enabled prime:).

I also trade forex and its great for catching up with the markets or my open trades on my platform.

I also fly bug smashers and it makes a great electronic flight bag for aero nav charts etc.

I have also noticed GPS works fantastic @6500 ft:)

A great bit of kit, very pleased with my purchase

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colbyb25:
I am a full time photography (www.colbybrownphotography.com) and I am going to attempt to replace my 2011 MacBook Air with the Transformer Prime (w/ dock). Because of the USB host support, I can easily bring my 500tb external HD and use the prime to transfer images from my Canon 5D Mark II and 1D Mark IV cameras. I can then use a handful of programs to view my RAW images on the Prime to look for rejects or convert a few to JPG for sharing on my blog or through social networks. To edit those images I can use Photoshop Touch and soon Nik Software's Snapspeed application.

On top of all this I can use Chainfire's tethering application to use my Prime to take images and set up time lapse shots. I can use QuickPic and Just Pictures to display my images to clients and galleries that have my work on display around the country.

This is of course all above the normal use of a hybrid tablet to write blog posts and articles while on the road and working in various countries around the globe. Needless to day, this experiment has been working wonderfully so far. I just need to fine a company that will allow me to print a custom skin for the back plate and I will be set.

Great thread :)

I use my Prime for work:

Reading analyst reports

Browsing Google alerts

Email

Calendar to track earnings releases, etc

Online research, data collection

To consult telecom/electronics reference ebooks

I use my Prime for home:

Couch25k on the treadmill (also word games while on the treadmill)

Reading books

Browsing web

Email

Shopping list and pantry inventory app

Pulling up recipes from Dropbox for cooking in the kitchen

Reading in bed- books, magazines

Watching tv shows (xfinity) like ATHF or streaming from Amazon or watching docs on documentaryheaven.com

Menu creation and tracking local grocery sales with Food on the Table app

Staying in touch with the kids: Instant Messenger and WordFeud game

I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what the Prime could be used for.

Just an off-topic note: I wasn't able to do a lot of this stuff in the upstairs bedroom because of the weak wifi. I changed my router settings from "mixed" to wireless G only and now I have decent wifi upstairs. It does drop every so often, but nothing like it was. So, my productivity has thus improved since I can use it at night in bed.
