the Asus Transformer Pad tf701t is the company's newest flagship tablet finally replacing the infinity tf700 from 2012 the new tablet looks a lot like the old one with only a few small refinements that most people probably won't even notice it's still a well-designed tablet but honestly feels slightly dated with it's extra wide bezels and it's relatively hefty 1.3 pound weight at least compared it to a few recent tablets still includes a microSD card slot micro HDMI port a 1.2 megapixel front camera and the 5 megapixel rear camera the front camera is pretty grainy but the rear one isn't bad but it's definitely not the best I've seen recently however I do appreciate some of the Samsung inspired features included in the camera software the keyboard dock will cost you an extra 150 bucks and includes a USB 3.0 hole size SD card slot and an extra battery however it feels a bit cramped to type on compared to say the Microsoft Surface tues type cover the tablet ships with Android 4.3 and includes a few useful issues only customizations like its custom pulldown menu as well as a Sears branded apps like splendid which lets you adjust screen color temperature saturation and cue other issues apps like file manager and app Locker which adds password protection to your apple choice are useful as well the screen has a high 2560 by 1600 resolution and makes texts and games look sharp however the screen unfortunately doesn't get as bright as previous tablets in this line even with the extra bright mode turn on there's a 1.9 gigahertz Tegra 4 inside so gaming performance is definitely smooth also navigating around the OS delivered no hiccups or pitches and apps loaded pretty quickly the 701 T starts at four hundred and forty nine dollars with 32 gigabytes of storage that's a pretty good price for a tablet that's pretty much running pure Android has a sharp screen great performance and a bunch of useful software and features sure its design feels a bit data at this point but the performance and features kind of make up for that check out my full review at cnet com for more info i'm eric franklin and this has been a first look at the Asus Transformer car tf701t
