I wasn’t expecting the Asus Transformer Prime to pop up in stores this early considering Asus Philippines has set a technical seminar with the members of the media for February 16.
This one is spotted at Villman’s website and priced at Php32,995 which includes the docking station (32GB model). They did not indicate how much the price of the tablet is but I’m thinking it’s in the Php23k to Php25k range.
Not a bad price considering the first Asus Transformer is still selling for Php29,995.

10.1″ Super IPS+ display @ 1280×800 pixels

Will try to head over to their stores and order a unit if I can.
Update: Just made an order thru the website and opted to pay via CC directly on their store (they don’t have online payment facility). Will be picking it up at their Mall of Asia branch.
guys where did you get your units? i tried finding one last weekend and its crazy out of stock in manila!
i settled from a seller at tpc.
he also sells screen protector for tf201 for those who are looking for one.
I was ready to buy one until I read that there is a problem with GPS and on some units, WIFI.
I hope that Asus will remedy this… maybe by replacing the aluminum cover?
They’re releasing a newer model on Q2 (supposedly around June so probably Aug-Sept here :P) called: ASUS Transformer Prime HD TF700
–> 1920×1200 HD resolution
–> upgraded 2-megapixel front camera
–> changing its back-panel design (uglier compared to the prime) to increase the performance of GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
