[DEAL_OF_THE_DAY]

Different from the Transformer, Asus Slider tablet has a built-in QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard basically works like sliding keyboards in mobile phones; when you don’t need it, you can hide it. As the keyboard is integrated to the tablet, Asus SL101 is more convenient and economical. With Transformer, you have to purchase the docking keyboard separately and have to bring along the extra feature everywhere to be able to change your tablet into a notebook; you won’t run into a similar problem with this Slider. The Asus SL101 Slider Pad tablet measures 10.75 x 7.1 x 0.68`0.72 inches. Weighs 2.12 lbs, the Slider tablet is even lighter than the Transformer and its docking keyboard put together (the Transformer itself weighs only 1.5 lbs, while the additional keyboard weighs 1.4 lbs).

ERROR: Function does not exist.

Asus Slider tablet computer comes in two variants; the SL101-A1 with 16 GB of eMMC Flash storage capacity and the SL101-B1 with 32 GB eMMC Flash storage capacity. Both variants come in 10.1-inch WXGA IPS multi-touch screen display with Corning Gorilla Glass and 178 degrees of viewing angle, Android 3.2 Honeycomb platform, 1280 x 800 screen resolution, NVidia Tegra 2 Mobile Processor, 1 GB DDR2 memory, 802.11b/g/n wireless connectivity, Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, SRS Sound, dual camera (front: 1.2 MP; rear: 5.0 MP), Micro SD Card Reader, a USB 2.0 port, a Mini HDMI port, 2-in-1 audio jack, and 25 W/h Li polymer battery which stands 8 hours of usage. Both variants are available in two choices of color: white and mocha.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 with Full Details Not seven months after its debut, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is consistently one of the most popular tablets on NEED4GEEKS. So, it came as a surprise when I heard Asus was preparing a follow-up tablet so soon after the original. On Tuesday, Asus officially unveiled the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. Touted as the world’s first tablet to house the Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, the Transformer Prime enters the tablet market slim and trim, with a 0.33-inch depth and 1.29-pound weight, making it thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. The aluminum chassis comes in both amethyst gray (gray and purple) and champagne gold (silver and gold) and is designed to resist water and oil, making it fingerprint resistant. The Prime includes two cameras: a 1.2-megapixel front camera and an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash. The rear camera includes a F2.4 aperture (matching the iPhone 4S) and records 1080p video with continual flash. Sound-wise, the Prime will make use of Asus’s SonicMaster sound technology, which should deliver higher quality sound than what we’ve come to expect from tablets. The tablet comes preinstalled with Honeycomb 3.2 but is upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich. It also includes 1GB of RAM, a micro SD card slot, audio jack, and micro HDMI port. There’s 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a gyroscope, and GPS. The mobile dock will include a USB port and an extra SD card slot

The Android 3.2 Honeycomb used by the tablet ensures you to access many winning features from this Operating System. This version of Android OS is particularly promoting multitasking experience to the tablet user. Android 3.2 comes with a Recent Apps list in the System Bar which enables you to see each consisting task and easily switch between one application and another. For easy identification of each application, the list provides you the snapshots of each application’s actual state. Other features of the Honeycomb 3.2 include five customizable Home screens, latest apps, redesigned keyboard, and improved text selection, copy, and paste.

The Asus Slider tablet is a convenience for highly mobile people who need efficiency and high performance. Find out more about this amazing tablet from our site.
