with the recent release of the Asus Transformer Pad 300 we've been asked a lot how it stacks up to the reigning champ of android tablets the Asus Transformer Prime so basically pretty much everything that differentiates them is on the outside not on the inside so you can see pretty much straight away that the transformer prime is a bit thinner than the newcomer it's also a bit lighter but when you actually hold it in your hand the prime feels a bit sharp on the edges while the transformer pad 300 feels nice and rounded it's a little thicker it's a bit softer and the buttons were actually a little bit easier to press even though they're in the same spots so I really actually like the feel of the slightly less expensive transformer pad 300 the materials just feel a bit friendlier maybe that's a weird way to put it around the back the cameras on these tablets are both very good for tablet cameras which is nice and there's a new plastic back on the 300 which is less of a fingerprint magnet and has a new grippy finish to it that I like a lot as opposed to the solid metal back on the transformer prime now on to the front panels we have hardened glass on the transformer pad 300 here in blue and Gorilla Glass on the transformer prime in red did I notice a difference nope but there is a slight colour reproduction difference so prime actually has a slightly more accurate color reproduction while the 300 in blue tends to reproduce a slightly cooler colors with more blue hues but you can't really notice that when they're not side-by-side now in terms of performance you're going to get nearly the exact same experience with these two tablets they're both running that beast of a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip the transformer Prime's will go a little bit faster and the GPU is a little bit faster but really they benchmark within a few points of each other so the difference isn't noticeable and if I didn't tell you which was which you probably couldn't tell which one seemed faster because they're nearly identical in this mark so I'd say the biggest advantage you have in going with the cheaper 300 is actually that plastic back you get absurd Wi-Fi connection strength pretty much a hundred percent at all times destroying the metal back transformer Prime and iPad and other tablets it benchmarked very well with Wireless when the Prime has some known connectivity weaknesses with Wi-Fi also just just so you know the Tres or prime 300s doc was better than expected you can watch my full review of the Transformers doc right here if you want it provides a lot of useful utility you know shortcuts it has a sweet trackpad and you get about five hours of extra battery life just know that the primes dock does not work with the 300 and vice versa so make sure you get the right dock for the tablet that you choose and yeah I got to say performance for the 300 for that price which will be in the description by the way and next to that like button is pretty awesome I'm loving Android 4.0 and Tegra 3 combo works really really well if you're an Android person you know exactly what we're talking about here I guess I just have faith in the Tegra 3 chipset now the processor is extremely fast and it's been really successful in other tablets and in other Tegra 3 phones that v companion Core makes using the tablet really smooth the UI just flies and I guess you could say it's pretty much a boss so it's when do you get the transformer prime TF 201 or the transformer Pratt 300 well honestly it's a tough decision there are a couple of main factors that can make your decision like if you mostly use your tablet outdoors I'd suggest a transformer prime it has a super IPS plus display gets really really bright up to 600 nits and that's gonna be useful for reading it outdoors these are indoors again it's a toss-up if you're flying on a budget then you're definitely gonna want to consider the transformer pad 300 it's $100 cheaper it's only 399 dollars for the 32 gig and 379 dollars for the 16 gig and you're definitely gonna get a lot of value out of it if you're still stuck between them I'd suggest definitely check out the transformer pad 300 because of the value part of it it's only right now available in blue by the way but it's going to be in red white and blue in the next couple months again I like the plastic body because of the ergonomics it's a little bit of an improved design it's easy nice to hold and really you can't go wrong with value on this one but of course for the androids iasts and the spec enthusiasts out there the biggest thing you're gonna want to wait for is the third transformer the transformer prime TF 700 T that is a tablet that's going to bring the overall combination best of the both worlds experience you're gonna get an updated design you're gonna get the plastic back on the top so you get better Wi-Fi and GPS you're gonna get the fastest Tiger 3 processor that Asus can get in this tablet you're gonna get an awesome design it's just gonna be an amazing tablet so you're still up to weight a hundred dollars more than the prime you're gonna get the TF 700 T $100 less than the prime you're gonna get the TF 300 there you go you have pretty much a full arsenal of choices there hope this video was helpful for you guys in choosing which of the three transformers that you
