I might even go so far to call this a poor trolling attempt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
Tablet alone is great for reading or watching stuff. As soon as I want to do any text entry beyond tying in an URL, I start wanting the keyboard.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] B-Mod:
X2....................
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
fixed. ;)

The Transformer Prime is incomplete without it's keyboard dock.

If you ever want to see the Prime's full potential you have to get the keyboard dock.

Only then will you reach Prime Perfection.

OK, another take on this. See I'm not and never was a fan of the Transformers, but I was a huge fan of the MMPR, which use mechs just like the Transformers. So when I see the Transformer Prime tablet by itself, I think of it as being a single Zord, with myself in command as I own it.

I call upon it when I have to duke it out with other tablet foes (iPad, Galaxy Tab, Playbook).

But when the situation gets tough I kick it into high gear and call on the keyboard dock that combines with the Prime Zord to form the mighty Mega Prime Zord. :D

Ditto
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
The design flexibility and of course the extended battery life, was the major decision factor in favour of the Prime.

I really enjoy the transformation into a kinda netbook.

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I like the dock as it basically gives me a laptop/netbook when I want it yet I can have a tablet as well. I don't use the dock much but glad I have the option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SamB12:
I really like the dock but, has anyone else got scratches on the dock connecter holes/slots on the tablet? Its to be expected i guess as it isnt super easy to line the tablet up perfectly when connecting. Anyway there minor scratches , but just wondered if this was common.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
I think everyone's covered just about all the reasons but I just wanna say that using a the Prime has been a lot more enjoyable than my old netbook. The dock just reinforces that and adds some very useful functionality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smachine:
I have a toshiba R835 core i5 laptop i got for $490 during back to school promo after selling the xbox and expensive printer. It has amazing battery life of around 8 hours, its 3.2lbs, and is a real workhorse laptop.

The keyboard on the prime is good if one did not have such a laptop, but may just have a desktop at home. If someone relies on the keyboard and splashtop all the time, then the tablet route is probably not the best way to get real work done, much wiser to spend money on a ultraportable laptop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Either the OP is trolling, or he thinks that once you put the tablet into the dock, you can't take it back off. Otherwise, the flexibility is pretty self-evident.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] haitiankid4lyf:
exactly what he said
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
Its the most innovative tablet for a reason! Hence the name "Transformer" :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdalev:
Already have ab Asus Netbook . Don't need 2 of them, so no keyboard dock for me !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ajamils:
EXACTLY!! Keyboard dock is the biggest reason why people purchase TF, if you don't need it, then wait few more months when you have better selection of tablets to chose from.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Uhmm because everyone is like WOAH when I transform it!

Also because the battery life!

The speed I type at!

(i do not like the mouse though)

But mainly for the head turning capabilities

I mostly want to get one for the USB port to hook up hds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Most ridiculous question of the year award

When I got my original Transformer TF101, I compared many tablets, and when I saw how much developers loved the Transformer, I decided to go with it. I fully intended to get the dock, but was on a "I'll get it when I get around to it" schedule" Then someone at work who had the dock stopped by my desk, and when I told him "yeah, I am gonna get that... eventually" he says" Here, try it. So I clicked my Tablet onto it. Tried all the shortcut keys on top row, plugged a hard drive into the USB port (The OG Dock had 2 USB, as it was thickerer, with room in the front left for the extra USB)

I ordered the dock form Amazon about 2.5 minutes after he took his dock and left. The dock is, if not the single best thing about the Transformer / Transformer Prime, then certainly the thing that makes it the device that it is. It is the dock that Apple SHOULD have designed for iPad. Instead the short lived plastic POS they designed cannot even be found anymore. Yep. Apple had a failed product. It happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ElCamino:
The keyboard adds so much value to the Prime tablet.

You get that extra battery life and the most important thing is able to type up those long emails or creating long documents that require a lot of typing.

I am just testing out both the TP and dock and really liking the dock as I can just undock the TP when I am ready to use as a tablet.

Here is the setup.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Some of you guys here are real paranoid. Trolling? Most stupid question of the year? Fortunately I don't limit my mind to think my way is the only way. Apparently, according to some of the responses here that is evident for some. As I stated, I was just curious. Too much coffee guys, chill.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
whoa. :eek: :D :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
This :-) , and the things said before.

With the dock the tablet takes two sdcards and one usb storage device, making it an excellent media station. No network necessary. No iOS device can do that :-P .

Another benefit not mentioned before: The dock is a very good stand for the tablet.

I trend to use the Prime in netbook mode most of the time, only when the dock would hinder I take it off.

For gaming with the acceleration sensor, or if there is no table to put it on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ElCamino:
LOL... I guess this spell check or keyboard has a mind of its own.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Also, let's not forget that while Transformer Prime is a tablet with a keyboard dock that turns it into netbook..

You can also think of it as a netbook with a touchscreen and 10+ hour battery life.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Have that on my Transformer, thanks to the dock and a USB to Ethernet adapter.

I'm getting a Serial Bluetooth Adapter shortly, and then I'll be set to get serial access to all those network devices that are in hard to reach spots, like up in the ceiling tiles, when they go down. Or when installing new ones.

No more balancing a 17" laptop on the top of a ladder for me, thank you very much. :D

When my Prime comes in I'll have to wait till ICS is ported to x86, then the Ethernet drivers ported back to ICS before I can use this trick with it, but that day won't be long in coming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Well, for me writing on a netbook or even a laptop is also very unpleasant. USB or bluetooth keyboard would be probably better for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pho75:
You posers bought a tablet, but act like its useless unless you turn it into a laptop. "Oh look, I'm at Starbucks and I'm noisily and slowly turning my great tablet into... a terrible laptop. That pretty girl must think I'm really cool cause I'm typing a lot of stuff so I must be important. If I wait, maybe she'll ask me out."

She's not going to ask you out... sorry. Return the keyboard and buy yourself a nice winter jacket. You'll get more looks and will feel better about yourself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willowave:
First of all, I'm a girl. I don't drink coffee. Or go to Starbucks. And I'm married. And I bought the keyboard for all the reasons that most of these other people said. I'm a network tech and it's nice to have something that is so multi-functional and lightweight.

And I think that comment you made, just makes you look like a moron. So go troll somewhere else.

Okay I am 17 year old guy in highschool first day I brought it to school I had so many girls asking me questions about it (i would not date any of the girls at my school because they are A not attractive or B are really hot but are really stuck up *****es or C have an iPhone or Mac laptop or D are not very smart)

The things the dock add are and costs

The head turning component priceless

People know it's not an ipad quality: saves 5 minutes of your time explaining what it is

A wonderful protective case /stand 25 dollars on amazon

A bluetooth mouse and keyboard combo (which would need some kind of bag to carry and be another thing to charge! And be heavier than the dock) Atleast 60 bucks for a cheap set!

A micro sd adapter from asus 10 bucks

A usb adapter from asus 10 bucks

And a special extended battery capable of outputting 15v Atleast 60 plus really bulky

So the dock wins sorry guys :) it could have been a little cheaper but it's okay
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gs05:
If I wanted a laptop I would have bought a laptop...stupid starbucks idiot poster above.

The keyboard is great and the best part is I can detach it and use it only when I need it. I commute on the train to work every day, so I just bring the screen with me back and forth as I am just reading. However, when I am home or on vacation I bring the dock too as it makes typing sooo much easier, adds battery life and for me has an SD Slot.

I am a HUGE photographer and being able to attached the dock, throw in the SD card, and view the pictures is amazing. Plus I can just HDMI out to the big screen if needed.

Now...I could do that with a laptop as well, but then I have to wait for the stupid thing to boot up, plus anything this thin is like 1k. Furthermore, I cannot take off the keyboard for most of my browsing.

Finally, I dont have a case, just a neoprene sleve. When on planes, I use the keyboard to support the display...never liked the bulk of the leather cases.

Worthwhile investment if you ask me, though the touchpad could use some better drivers. The dedicated android buttons are much faster as well than navigating screens.

Rambling here...but try it out. If you plan to just use it in the house and have access quickly to a desktop/laptop, then the dock is a waste. However for travel, it is a lifesaver, especially for viewing vacation photos and videos...all at 13+ hours of battery life
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TalynOne:
Different people have different wants/needs. I'm ok without a keyboard, but can totally see how it's useful to others. Android excels at offering choices in form factors and sizes as long as one does their research they can usually find something that can fit their needs. I have friends who have various devices from different companies (including Apple) and the only thing I care about is if they're happy with their choices for their wants/needs. In the end that all that matters. It sounds like you define your self worth by the gadgets you own, for that you need therapy, not the XDA forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Because we can have both?

Also, if you had actually ever used the "terrible laptop" you would know that it isn't actually all that terrible. It is actually pretty good if your main laptop tasks involve email, web browsing, and editing office documents.

I can honestly say that the TF Prime w/keyboard has replaced nearly 80% of my home laptop usage. Not only that, but the TF Prime offers about 7x the battery life that my laptop does, and weighs a tenth as much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
You must have a pretty sad life when you need to spend 650 on a winter coat to try and get girls. Of all the items to attract the opposite sex you choose a winter coat. I bet if you had no coat, but were less of an asshole, you'd do better with the opposite sex.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
So very true, if you did not want the keyboard, do not buy it!

If you did not want to be offered the keyboard buy something else!

This like every product is not for everyone. People are different so are their needs. Why can't people think before they start a new thread?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
Why are we trying to convince total strangers why we need/dont need the dock? How exactly does it affect us if others do/dont buy the dock? Is it our 150 which is getting saved/spent? Why is pho75 such a moron?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] t3ch7:
I bought my Prime with the keyboard dock the same day thinking it would be nice to make the Prime in a laptop during trips and I need do lots of typing.

But, now I'm having second thoughts because I can't seem to find a good case (I know one or two are out there) for the Prime that allows me to dock it to the keyboard with the case on. So, I'm thinking one way to have a nice case on the Prime, but still have access to a physical keyboard is to buy a small, decent bluetooth keyboard.

Still thinking about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
No one said its a must for you. It may however be a must for someone else. Its pretty normal for someone to be drawn to the transformer for its ability to.... transform.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rogue100:
Have you actually used one with the keyboard dock to know first hand that it's a terrible laptop, because as laptops go, a docked TFP is really not that bad at all? You would be hard pressed to find many laptops as light or thin, even in the ultrabook category, which is the class of laptop it clearly fits. And none even come close in battery life. Now, you are admittedly limited to Android's selection of apps, but if you're using a laptop, and especially an ultrabook, you're not exactly going to be running much of the high end software that would give a pc an advantage, so that's not that much of a loss.

And it's still a wonderful TABLET whenever I want it to be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Hell it was so light asus had to add counterweight in it so it does not tip over someone did a dock teardown on here!

And it can not get any thinner without giving up that pesky usb port! Look on the side it just has enough room for a control board and the USB port

It is the thinnest they can make without ditching the USB port! They could used a bigger battery as a counterweight though!

You obviously are incapable of comprehending what you read, or you didn't read this thread at all, particularly the post above your first failed troll.

Not sure how else to describe it. I'm looking for a setting (or a hack) that will allow me to lock my phone while I'm in, say, Gmail (or whatever), and still be at that exact same screen when I unlock it. I've had two HTC phones, an EVO and a Sensation, and that's how they operated. And my Asus tablet works that way as well.

I've searched the settings (as well as the forums...) and can't find any reference to this behavior. I find it incredibly annoying.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmboulware:
Okay guys ... I know the rules ... do a search and some reading before you ask a stupid question.

Well, I've been searching and reading for the last two hours and I have not found an answer to this, so here goes:

I am on HC (came that way), I am S-On and I've unlocked on htcdev.com (and can easily re-lock if needed). What I'd like is to get S-OFF, but Revolutionary doesn't support hboot 1.14.xx SO ...

Can I downgrade hboot WITHOUT running the GB RUU? My preference would be S-OFF and rooted (with CWM & SU) but keep HC for now.

If not, would I be correct in running Globatron's HC->GB downgrade, rooting then running his GB->HC upgrade?

Thanks!

I think you need to downgrade to GB, root and S-Off with Revolutionary, then you can upgrade back to HC with globatron's method.

I'm not sure if this is possible or how easy it is to take my phone all the back to the beginning when everything was stock root....especially since I have no backup of that fateful day when I stepped into the root world...

any help will be great appreciated...

thanks..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
to truly get back to square one, I believe you'll need to Google for an ruu of what firmware/software your phone was at when you rooted. (Android version, boot version). And run the ruu from a desktop with phone plugged in.

Someone can help you more, but it is possible, and won't be that difficult.

Sorry, I'm at work.
