[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Orion66:
Hi guys,

Here is my short story why I have sold my Asus Prime. Some of you can lough at me because few days ago I was laughing at Ipad3. But I asked myself few questions... and changed my point of view totally.

Generally my first tablet was Asus Transformer. I liked it very much. Unfortunately in the first week after I got it I had to send it to RMA. I had dust under screen. I was mad...

After 4 weeks I get it back. After few next days I discover that it creaks - another reason to be mad for Asus.

But I kept it using. Meanwhile I bought Ipad2 just to test it. The first thing I noticed was that every game/app was designed to work on Ipad properly. Nice

graphics, fast and so on. I could not say that about Android and Asus Transformer. There were (there still are) so few apps/games that works in 1280x800 resolution.

Despite all those games and apps on Ipad2 few things forced me to sell it after 2 months of using:

- low resolution of ipad - this was the most annoying thing

- no flash (minor thing)

- no sdcard slot (then It was important for me - now it is not - why ? because I really do not use this... )

It was December 2011. I decided to wait for new Asus Prime. Tegra 3 I thought - man. That is going to be awesome.

In the late end of December I bought Asus Prime. First impressions - WOW!

And then:

- still only few apps/games for tablets

- my unit is creaking - AGAIN! (aaaarrrggghhhh!!!!)

- HDMI broke after 3 weeks! (aaaaarrrgggghhh!!!!)

- battery is drained after 5-6 hours of using (only browsing WWW)

So now when I see that Ipad3 has great Retina display am changing my way of thinking.

I have enough of Asus lies. Yes. I feel cheated by Asus. The battery was supposed to stand for 9 hours. I get 5 and sometimes 6. The same as it was in first transformer (my Ipad2 had 9-10).

I have enough of VERY poor quality of Asus products for 600$!

I have enough of laggy ICS - yes it is laggy as hell - especially when browsing

I have enough of 1280x800 resolution. It got to old...

Am not going to wait another few years for apps/games that are mainly designed for Tablets. I can imagine how long will it take to see apps for Asus Prime Infinity (1080P screen)...

Yes - am aware of this that Ipad3 does not support flash. But it not a big problem. Only 1 site I visit uses this technology. Yes - there is no sdslot in Ipad. But do I really need this? No I do not.

I asked myself a question. What is the most important

for me

in tablet:

- the highest resolution it can be - for now it is Retina

- I want to have A LOT of games/apps - for now iOS is the only option

- I want fast and smooth system - again iOS is the best. ICS is much more better than Honeycomb but it has no chance with iOS

- I want my tablet not to creak!!!

Am not using only theory. I had Ipad2. I know how it works. I know it has some limitations. But I want a tablet that has plenty of apps on it. I want tablet with super resolution. And I want a high quality products. Not Asus **** that creaks...

I will never ever buy anything that is made by Asus.

Of course I respect Android. This is VERY good system. Full freedom. But one thing kills this system. It is poor quality games/apps. They are fine for Phones with small screens. But how many of them works in full 1280x800 ? Few....

And that is why am changing my tablet.

I wonder how many of you are interested in deflecting to Ipad3?

PS - oh and I forget to mention about non working GPS and poor WI FI...

PS2 - am still using Samsung Galaxy II as a mobile. Am not going to change it for Iphone... :)
