this week's gadget is the asus transformer pad infinity tf700 like because that's no iPad right there assu seems to come out with a new tablet about every couple of weeks all of them purported iPad killers and they have become very popular for this transformer concept which means that the tablet fits nicely into an additional keyboard dock although don't be fooled by the picture of the keyboard on the box because this keyboard is not in this box but let's have a look at what is the transformer pad is running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich it has a 10.1 inch LCD display and a quad-core Tegra 3 processor so it is great for gaming one gigabyte of RAM helps out that performance the weight is one point three pounds so it is a little bit heavy the colors are amethyst grey and champagne gold you also get micro HDMI and a micro SD card slot it's Wi-Fi only no 3G connectivity here and it comes in 32 gigs or 64 gig capacity there's an eight megapixel camera on the back and a nice two megapixel camera on the front for video conferencing the screen is very high resolution 1920 x 1200 pixels the other thing these two sous tablets are becoming known for is that they look really good this one is no exception it's extremely thin and light and has this brushed metal back here comes in two colors and then and really this is the kind of transformer part in that transformer name you plug it into this dock here and you actually have a usable tablet with a keyboard now on the face of it there's really nothing wrong with the Asus Transformer blobbity blobbity for the really long name the problem is that it's not an iPad but it's priced like an iPad it's 499 or 5 99 and then this cool doc that makes it all transformer II and useful and extra 150 bucks I'm sorry guys but you're never going to beat the iPad unless you're cheaper than the iPad
