ASUS has officially announced the world's first tablet featuring the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quadcore processor – the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The first quad-core tablet in the world, the Eee Pad Transformer Prime features the innovative ASUS exclusive mobile dock, presenting a harmony of beauty and robustness. NVIDIA’s President and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang stated, “The Eee Pad Transformer Prime is a category-defining product. Powered by Tegra 3, it brings us into a new era of mobile computing; in which quad-core performance and super energy-efficiency provide capabilities never available before. With Transformer Prime, ASUS has once again led the industry into the next generation.” In addition to having superior multimedia performance, the Transformer Prime also boasts an 8.3mm ultra slim metallic spun finish with enhanced features including audio powered by ASUS SonicMaster technology, an 8MP rear auto-focus camera with LED flash and battery life rated for up to 18 hours when combined with the mobile dock. Price of the product should come in a range of $499 (Rs.26000) to $599 (Rs. 32000). An official launch event with live demonstration is scheduled for early December. The features that make it a desired product are enlisted here: Incredibly slim Featuring an incredibly slim form factor, the Transformer Prime is a svelte 8.3mm thin and the only metallic tablet that weighs in at a mere 586g. It brandishes a metallic spun finish design made of aluminium for a secure yet extremely comfortable grip that comes in two gorgeous colours: amethyst grey and champagne gold.

Ultra performance The Transformer Prime is the world’s first tablet to feature NVIDIA’s next-generation quadcore Tegra 3 processor, creating a new breed of high powered tablet devices. With the quadcore CPU, 12-core GeForce GPU and vSMP technology, it is more than enough to run Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS which is upgradeable to Android 4.0 ICS. Unrivalled visual acuity The Eee Pad Transformer already boasts a wide 178° viewing angle IPS display, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, but the Transformer Prime goes further, upgraded with a brighter Super IPS+ screen that enhances the brightness of the screen for a better outdoor reading

experience. A 1.2MP front camera allows for video conferencing while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash takes brilliant photos thanks to a large F2.4 aperture, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus depth of field and low light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos. It has the ability to take full 1080p HD video.

Supreme sound The Transformer Prime houses impressive audio, powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology, renowned for crisp and acoustically accurate audio. It produces crystal clear sound with a wide sound range, increased sound fidelity, and distinct vocal enhancements not found on any other tablet in the market.

Unlimited productivity The Transformer Prime is offered in both a 32GB and 64B model along with a micro SD card slot, 3.5mm combo audio jack and micro HDMI port so sharing both what’s inside and on screen is quick and easy. However, the function that gives the Transformer Prime its namesake is the mobile dock, which gives new meaning to the term versatility. The innovative and convenient design seamlessly provides the user with a keyboard and touchpad, along with limitless expandability options via the USB port and SD card slot.

Alone, the Transformer Prime has a battery life of up to 12 hours, but when combined with the mobile dock, it lasts up to an incredible 18 hours, the longest battery life of any tablet.

Preinstalled application SuperNote is fantastic for its ability to take, draw or record notes, while Polari Office is great for staying productive with the ability to read and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-2007 version compatible) files. Asus Eee Transformer Prime also comes preloaded with interesting custom apps like ASUS launcher, @Vibe Music, ASUS WebStorage, MyLibrary, MyNet, MyCloud, File manager, ASUS sync, App Locker, App Backup, Tegra Zone, and Polaris Office.
