Asus Transformer Prime hits stores for Php32,995

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.

Asus Transformer Prime specs:
10.1″ Super IPS+ display @ 1280×800 pixels
Gorilla Glass
NVidia Tegra 3 1.4GHz quad-core processor
32GB and 64GB internal storage
1GB DDR2 RAM
1.2MP front-facing camera
8MP autofocus camera with LED flash
3.5mm mic & headphone combo jack
micro HDMI port
micro SD card slot
USB 2.0 port (dock)
SD Card slot (dock)
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ EDR
Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb

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.

    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.
